Frequently asked questions
What is the best snag list app?
Punch List & Site Audit is an iOS app designed for snagging walkthroughs. It captures each snag with a photo, room or area, responsible trade, and status, then generates PDF reports on the device, with Pro unlocking clean branding and sync.
Who does the snag list?
On new builds, the buyer or a professional snagging inspector walks the property before handover. On commercial projects, the main contractor 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 deficiency list?
Yes, they describe the same walkthrough — the terminology depends on the region. "Snag list" is used in the UK and Commonwealth markets; "deficiency list" and "punch list" are used in Canada and the United States.
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 each trade's response time. A clear photo-backed list shortens that window considerably.
