PIC welcomes the opportunity to work with property developers within the Hertfordshire and Essex Counties with compilation of snagging (snags) list, for the pre-release of their new build properties.
Our Snagging List Report, also known as a snag list or snag report, is a document used in construction or property development projects to identify and record any defects, incomplete work, or issues that require rectification or completion. It is typically created by a professional snagging specialist or inspector who carefully examines the property to identify and document these items. Here is a detailed description of a Snagging List Report:
- Property Details: The Snagging List Report begins with essential property details, including the project name, address, and relevant dates. It may also include details about the construction company, developer, or other parties involved in the project.
- Introduction: The report introduces its purpose and explains that it aims to identify and document any defects, incomplete work, or deviations from the required standards found during the inspection. It clarifies that the list serves as a reference for the contractor or developer to rectify the issues before the final handover.
- Inspection Details: The report provides information about the inspection, including the date, time, and the name of the snagging specialist or inspector who conducted the assessment. It may also mention if the inspection was a full inspection covering the entire property or specific areas of focus.
- Room/Area Breakdown: The Snagging List Report typically breaks down the property into different rooms or areas for systematic examination. Each room or area is identified and listed separately to ensure that all sections are thoroughly inspected.
- Defects and Issues: Under each room or area, the report itemizes and describes the defects or issues found during the inspection. Each snag is typically assigned a unique reference number or identifier for easy reference. The report may include the following information for each snag:
- Snag Description: A detailed description of the defect, incomplete work, or deviation from standards observed. This description helps the contractor or developer understand the problem clearly.
- Location: Precise details about where the snag is located within the property, such as a specific room, wall, floor, or area. This ensures accurate identification and rectification.
- Severity: The snag may be categorized based on its severity or urgency, such as minor, moderate, or critical. This classification helps prioritize the snag fixing process.
- Supporting Evidence: Photographs, videos, or other forms of visual evidence are often included to provide a clear visual representation of the snag. This helps the contractor or developer understand the issue better and facilitates quicker resolution.
- Remedial Action: A recommendation or description of the required rectification work to fix the snag. This may include instructions, technical specifications, or references to relevant industry standards.
- Completion and Handover: The report concludes with a section specifying the desired completion timeframe for addressing the identified snags. It may also include instructions for the contractor or developer to notify the snagging specialist or inspector once the issues have been rectified, enabling a final inspection to ensure satisfactory completion.
- Signatures: The Snagging List Report is typically signed and dated by both the snagging specialist or inspector and the representative of the contractor or developer. This signifies acknowledgment of the report and the commitment to address the identified snags.
It’s important to note that the exact format and details of a Snagging List Report may vary depending on the specific project requirements and the snagging specialist or inspector’s practices. The report’s thoroughness and clarity are crucial to ensure that all snags are properly identified, communicated, and rectified, facilitating the smooth completion and handover of the property.
