New Build Snagging Inspections
The average new build home has 100+ snags. Our experienced team can assist through conducting snagging surveys and producing defect reports
Snagging issues are completely normal but need to be caught early to avoid larger problems later. A professional snagging survey will allow you to get any issues sorted within the two year timeframe the house builder is liable.
The inspection visits are a thorough inspection of every component of your home, including all external elements and the quality of both materials and workmanship. We will check all items have a consistent finish and report any defects that do not come within an accepted tolerance.
After the inspection is complete, we will compile a full room by room report which will show each snag with a date and time stamped photo annotated with a detailed description of the defect. This report will be emailed to you to pass onto your developer for full resolution.
