Snagging Inspections

Heard about snagging but don’t have complete information about it?

What is snagging

A snag refers to the minor issue with the building that can be identified once the construction work is complete.

A snag can be a crack in the tile, on the wall, or a door that doesn’t close properly or have some issue, and many more. Generally, these snags will be expected to be handled easily, but they may also include some severe defects on the mixtures that may become dangerous later.

However, to avoid experiencing any dangerous results, a snagging survey must be conducted to ensure that you will get an excellent yet well-developed build.

What is a snagging list?
