Capture snags and make the PDF on site

Construction Snagging List App

Built for Construction Snagging List App on active job sites. The app keeps field notes, trade ownership, and handover reports in one place.

Quick answer

What is a construction snagging list?

A construction snagging list is a written record of incomplete, incorrect, or defective work found near the end of a project that must be put right before the job is accepted. Each item usually notes the location, the responsible trade, a description of the issue, supporting photos, and a current status, and is resolved by the contractor before final sign-off.

01

What teams need from Construction Snagging List App

Main contractors, site managers, and snagging surveyors need a fast way to log snags and assign rectification to the right trade.

The app keeps field notes, trade ownership, and handover reports in one place.

02

How Punch List & Site Audit fits the workflow

Each snag can carry location, trade, status, due date, notes, and photo evidence in one record.

That keeps snagging surveys consistent and makes PDF reporting fast at handover.

03

Why crews keep it on site

Instead of paper notes or static spreadsheets, the whole snagging list stays live in the field and easy to share.

Contractors, surveyors, and homeowners review the same structured record from first walkthrough to final sign-off.

How it works

From walkthrough to report in three steps

Punch List & Site Audit keeps capture, assignment, review, and handoff in one iPhone workflow.

1

Create the project

Start a site, client, or renovation project and keep each job separated with progress counts and search.

2

Capture every snag on site

Add title, notes, location, photos, status, priority, category, assignee, and due date as you walk — a few taps per item, then Save & Add Another to keep the walkthrough moving.

3

Generate the PDF before you leave

Turn the list into a client-ready PDF with photos and item details right on site — no laptop, no retyping it later. Pro unlocks clean branded reports, export, and iCloud sync.

Frequently asked questions

What should be included on a construction snagging list?

Each item should record a location (room, floor, or area), the responsible trade, a short description of the defect or remaining work, at least one photo, a status (open, in progress, resolved), a due date, and the name of the person who logged it.

Who creates the construction snagging list?

It is usually compiled during a walkthrough by the main contractor, client, architect, or project manager, often together. Subcontractors then resolve the items assigned to their trade. On smaller jobs, a single contractor or site manager runs the walk and assigns items directly.

How is a snagging list different from a punch list?

They describe the same process. Snagging list is the standard term in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, while punch list is used in the United States and Canada. Both refer to outstanding defects and unfinished work captured before handover.

What is the best snagging app for iPhone?

Punch List & Site Audit is an iOS app built for construction snagging. It captures photos, location, trade, notes, and status for every item, works offline on site, and uses Pro subscriptions for clean branded PDF reports, import and export, and iCloud sync.

Does the snagging list need to be cleared before handover?

Yes. Practical completion is typically certified only once every snag is resolved or formally accepted. Final payment, occupation, and the start of warranty periods are usually tied to clearing the list, which is why a clear photo-backed report speeds up handover and reduces disputes.
