Snagging List

About this document

What it’s for

A practical tool for recording “snags” – minor defects and unfinished items – at the end of a building job, agreeing who will fix each one and by when, and signing them off. It includes a room-by-room inspection checklist and a numbered snag register.

When to use it

  • At the pre-handover inspection and at practical completion
  • At the end of the defects period, for the final inspection
  • By builders, trades, clients and contract administrators
