A snagging list should give each snag its room and exact location, the element affected, a description and photos, the trade to put it right, a priority and a target date, and a status through to closed with a photo of the finished work. It should also record the conditions of the inspection, what could not be checked, who received the list and when it will be re-inspected.
Last updated . Facts checked by the SiteSurvey team on 5 October 2026 against the New Homes Quality Code (Version 2), NHQB: which Code applies and the NHQB Pre-Completion Inspection Checklist (house, Version 2).
Walk a new home room by room on a phone. Each room holds its own snags, each snag gets its photo, trade, priority and target date, and the snag list counts itself as you go, ready to issue to the trades.
Tape an A4 sheet beside a ceiling crack, or use a tile or a switch plate as the reference, tap both ends and the length goes into the snag with the marked-up photo kept. It works on web forms in any phone browser today, and the app version is on its way.
How measuring from a photo works →
Each room counts its own snags by priority, and the totals page adds up every room: snags recorded, urgent, before and after handover, closed, still open and the rooms with an urgent snag.
How calculated fields work →
Mark the plot's position at the front door, so trades coming back for the snags find the right house on a site of a hundred plots.
How GPS location works →Walk Cam records the walk with a guided point for each room and turns what you say into text, so nothing gets missed between the plot and the office.
A fictional snag walk on plot 14 before handover: eight rooms, nine snags with photos, three measured from a photo, two urgent items reported to the site manager, one kitchen snag already closed with a photo of the fix, and a re-inspection booked.
Answer a few questions and watch it adapt. Your answers are not saved, and any photos you add are deleted within the hour.
This is the real form as your team would use it: questions appear as you answer, scores work themselves out and you can add photos and signatures. No sign-up needed. Or open a completed example to see every answer, photo and score filled in.

For teams
Paper or a spreadsheet works for the odd job. When your team does this every week, SiteSurvey keeps every visit in one place and turns each one into a report you can send.
Your team completes the snagging inspection on site in the SiteSurvey app on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. The project name and address fill in for them, it works without signal, and it syncs when the device is back online with photos kept against the question they answer.
Customers and subcontractors do not need the app: send them a link and they can fill it in from any browser.
Snag by snag record with room, element, photo and priority, checks with no snag, totals and re-inspection. 7 sections and 96 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.
This is a starting point, not a fixed form. Once it is in your SiteSurvey account you can reword any question, add or remove questions, sections and answer options, and add your own logo, so it fits the way your team works and the jobs you do.
Add this form to a project in SiteSurvey and it fills in what the project already knows, so nobody on site retypes it and every form on the job uses the same names. Anything filled in can still be changed.
What is being inspected, for whom and at what stage.
Filled in from the project in SiteSurvey.
Optional. Mark it at the front door so trades find the right plot on a large development.
If it is dry, gutters, downpipes and water butts cannot be checked for leaks: record that as a limit of the inspection.
Optional. Film a guided walk-through on the SiteSurvey app.
How the inspection was carried out, and anything that could not be checked.
One entry for each snag. Record it while you are standing in front of it.
Optional. Tape an A4 sheet beside it and measure from a photo, or use a tape.
What was tested and found working. It shows the item was looked at.
Worked out from the snags you entered.
Who gets the list and when it is checked again.

Yes. Punch list is the name used in the US and in some contracts for the same thing: a list of defects and unfinished work to put right before handover. This template works as a punch list, with a photo, location and owner against each item.
Yes, as a snag record. For a pre-completion inspection with a developer registered with the New Homes Quality Board, the Code says the inspection must use the NHQB Pre-Completion Inspection Checklist. This form does not replace that checklist, and it says so when you choose that type of inspection.
The New Homes Quality Code says the inspection should take place after the notice to complete has been served, or earlier if the developer and the buyer both agree. The form asks whether the notice has been served and records the agreement if it has not.
The New Homes Quality Code says that in most situations a registered developer must settle an after-sales issue within 30 days, and if there is a delay the buyer must be told why and updated at least once a month. The form counts the days since the snags were reported and flags anything over 30.
Version 2 applies to homes reserved from a registered developer on or after 2 March 2026, and Version 1 to homes reserved before that date. The form asks when the home was reserved and shows which version applies.
The NHQB checklist guidance says internal walls, ceilings and paintwork are viewed in daylight from at least 2 m, without shining a light on the surface. Kitchens and fitted furniture are viewed from 0.5 m and external walls from at least 10 m.
Yes. In the SiteSurvey app the form works offline, attaches photos to each snag and produces a PDF report or share link. The form records who the list was issued to, such as each trade, the site manager or the buyer.
