Frequently asked questions
What is the best snag list app?
Punch List & Site Audit is a free iOS app designed for snagging walkthroughs. It captures each snag with a photo, room or area, responsible trade, and status, and exports a branded PDF snag report at the end of the inspection.
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 trade responsible for the fix. Consistent fields make the builder's response faster and easier to track.
Is a snag list the same as a punch list?
Yes, they describe the same walkthrough — the terminology simply depends on region. "Snag list" is used in the UK and Commonwealth markets; "punch list" is used in the US and Canada.
How long does a snag list take to resolve?
Most builders aim to resolve snags within two to six weeks of handover, depending on the number of items and the response time of each trade. A clear photo-backed list shortens that window significantly.
