Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document

What is a Snagging List?

A snagging list is a document used to record minor defects or incomplete works identified during a final inspection of a construction project. It helps ensure that all issues are corrected before handover.

Who uses a snagging list?

Inspectors, contractors, and project managers use snagging lists to track defects that need rectification. It serves as a communication tool between the inspecting party and the contractor.

Key components

The snagging list includes document identification, project information, a repeatable list of snag items with location, description, severity, status, and photos, plus signatures from the inspector and contractor.

Pre-handover inspections

Before a construction project is handed over to the client, a snagging list is used to identify and document all outstanding defects that must be corrected.

Quality control during construction

Snagging lists can be used at various stages of construction to track quality issues and ensure they are addressed promptly.

Contractor performance evaluation

The number and severity of snag items can be used to evaluate contractor performance and identify areas for improvement.

Warranty and maintenance tracking

After handover, snagging lists may be referenced during warranty periods to verify that defects have been resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables

What is the difference between a snagging list and a defect list?

A snagging list typically refers to minor defects or incomplete works identified before handover, while a defect list may include more significant issues. Both track items that need correction.

Who signs the snagging list?

The inspector who identifies the snags and the contractor responsible for rectification typically sign the list. This acknowledges the findings and agreement on the scope of work.

Can I add photos to the snagging list?

Yes, each snag item can have attached photos to provide visual evidence of the defect or incomplete work.

How are snag items prioritized?

Snag items can be assigned severity levels such as minor, major, or critical to prioritize rectification efforts.
