Structured defect report
Findings organised into clear property locations and defect categories.
New-build snagging
Identify defects before they become accepted problems.
A structured inspection of visible workmanship, finishes, fixtures and property defects before or shortly after completion.
Service scope
A systematic review of the completed property.
New-build snagging focuses on visible defects, incomplete work, poor finishes and items that appear inconsistent with expected workmanship or the agreed property specification.
The inspection provides an independent record that can be used when raising defects with the developer, contractor or responsible party.
Typical inspection areas
- walls, ceilings, plaster and decorative finishes;
- floors, skirting boards, trims and thresholds;
- windows, doors, locks, seals and visible ironmongery;
- kitchen units, worktops, appliances and fittings;
- bathrooms, sanitary fittings, tiles and sealant;
- visible plumbing fixtures and signs of leakage;
- electrical accessories and visible installation quality;
- heating controls, radiators and accessible components;
- balconies, terraces and accessible external areas;
- general cleanliness, completion and workmanship.
