Frequently asked questions
What is the best snag list app?
Punch List & Site Audit is an iOS app built for snagging and defect inspections. It captures each snag with a photo, room or area, trade, and status, then produces a PDF report, with Pro unlocking clean branding and sync.
Who does the snag list?
On new homes the buyer or a professional inspector walks the property before handover. On commercial projects the builder or project manager runs the snagging alongside the client's representative.
What should be on a snag list?
Every defect, finish issue, and incomplete item, each with a room or location, a short description, at least one photo, and the responsible trade. Consistent fields make the builder's response faster and easier to track.
Is a snag list the same as a defect list?
Yes. They describe the same inspection, and the wording just depends on where you are. "Snag list" is used in the UK and Ireland, "defect list" in Australia and New Zealand, and "punch list" in the US and Canada.
How long does a snag list take to resolve?
Most builders aim to clear snags within two to six weeks of handover, depending on the number of items and how quickly each trade responds. A clear photo-backed list shortens that window considerably.
