About the Snagging List template
A Snagging List records outstanding defects, incomplete work, and quality issues identified during the inspection of a building or fit-out before handover. It gives the contractor a precise, location-referenced punch list to fix and the client documented proof that items were logged, so nothing slips through at final sign-off. Catching snags before practical completion protects retention payments and avoids disputes over who is liable for late-appearing faults.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.
When to use a Snagging List

- βΈClient or surveyor inspection before releasing final payment or retention
- βΈEnd-of-defects-liability-period review, typically 6-12 months after completion
- βΈRoom-by-room checks on a residential unit before a buyer or tenant moves in
What a good Snagging List includes
- βItem reference number and the room or location (e.g. Kitchen, external elevation)
- βClear description of the defect and the trade responsible (plumbing, plastering, joinery)
- βSeverity or priority rating to separate cosmetic snags from safety or functional issues
- βPhoto evidence and the date the snag was identified
- βResponsible party, target rectification date, and status (open, in progress, closed)

Tips & common mistakes
- π‘Photograph every snag at the time of inspection with the location visible; verbal descriptions alone cause disputes about which wall or fitting was meant.
- π‘Re-inspect and formally close each item rather than assuming it was fixed - reopen anything done to a poor standard.
- π‘Group snags by trade or room so the contractor can schedule repairs efficiently instead of returning multiple times.

FAQ
When should snagging be carried out?οΌ
Snagging is normally done at practical completion, just before handover, and again at the end of the defects liability period when latent faults have had time to appear.
Who is responsible for fixing items on a snagging list?οΌ
The contractor or relevant subcontractor is responsible for rectifying defects that fall within the scope of works or the agreed defects liability period, at no extra cost to the client.
What is the difference between a snag and a defect?οΌ
A snag is usually a minor cosmetic or finishing issue like paint marks or misaligned fittings, while a defect is a more serious fault in workmanship or materials that affects function, safety, or compliance.
