Most construction teams use a rolling snag list, identifying and resolving issues continuously throughout the project. A <a href=\"https:\/\/bau-master.com\/gb\/features\/construction-daily-log-software\/\">construction daily log software<\/a> can be a tremendous help in this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is involved in the snagging process?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Snagging is a collaborative task involving the <strong>site manager, contractor, subcontractors, and often the client<\/strong> or their representative. Each party plays a role in identifying, documenting, and closing out snags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What evidence should a snag list contain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A snag list should contain at least a <strong>precise description of the defect and photographic documentation<\/strong>. In addition, a sketch or plan marker can help clarify the location and extent of the defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What happens if I do not report snags before the handover?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If snags are not reported before the handover, you may <strong>lose the right to have them rectified under the original contract terms<\/strong>. This can lead to a costly remediation process or even legal disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a construction project nears completion, ensuring that everything has been built and installed to specification becomes critical.
