Hey PH! Julian here, the founder of HoldPoint.
I'll keep this real. I didn't come from a tech startup background wanting to "disrupt construction." I've spent years watching subcontractors and site managers deal with quality assurance documentation that hasn't evolved since the 90s.
Here's the reality on a construction site in 2026: you've got a supervisor standing next to a concrete pour, filling in a Word document on their phone, emailing it to a superintendent who's on another site, then chasing them on WhatsApp for three days to get a signature. Meanwhile, the pour is waiting. The crane is waiting. The whole programme is waiting for someone to sign a piece of paper.
And when that signature finally comes back, it's a photo of a wet-signed printout, taken at an angle, attached to a text message. That's your "audit trail."
I built HoldPoint to fix this. It's dead simple:
Build your ITP templates once at company level with your standard checklists, hold points, and sign-off roles.
Create a project, import the templates. Document numbers, headers, and project details populate automatically.
Your team fills in checklists on their phone between pours. Pass, fail, N/A, attach a photo, add a note.
Hit "request sign-off." The superintendent gets a secure link, reviews everything, and signs digitally. No account needed. No app to install.
Branded PDF is generated automatically with every checklist result, photo, signature, GPS location, and live weather conditions at the moment of sign-off.
The features I'm most proud of:
GPS + weather capture: every signature records the inspector's coordinates and the live conditions (temperature, humidity, wind). You can't retrofit that from a Bureau of Meteorology lookup six months later.
Dual sign-off workflow: subcontractor signs, then superintendent signs, with full audit history.
Multi-level/multi-lot scaling: running a 20-storey building? Apply one ITP across all 20 levels in four clicks. Send one combined sign-off pack per floor.
External sign-off via link: clients sign without creating an account or installing anything.
AI ITP generator: describe your scope of work, get a complete hold-point-ready ITP in 60 seconds, free.
We're live, with 500+ ITPs completed and 2,000+ sign-offs captured by Australian construction teams.
I'm looking for two things:
Feedback from anyone in construction, civil engineering, or compliance-heavy industries. What's missing? What would make you switch from your current process?
If you're a subcontractor or site manager drowning in paper ITPs, come try it. 14 days free, no credit card.
I've got a question for everyone: have you ever lost money, lost a dispute, or failed an audit because the documentation wasn't there when you needed it? I'd love to hear your stories.
Thanks for checking out HoldPoint!
