Snag List
A snag list is a comprehensive list of defects, incomplete items, or substandard work identified during a final inspection of a construction project before formal handover.
Explained Simply
At the end of a construction project, the owner or their engineer walks through the property methodically to identify every item that is not completed, not properly finished, or does not meet specification. These items — "snags" — are documented in a snag list. The contractor must address all snags before the project is considered complete and final payment is released. Common snags include paint touch-ups, tile corner chips, door alignment issues, missing fixtures, grout defects, and unfinished plastering.

Without a formal snag list, contractors are released with full payment while defects remain. A documented snag list creates a contractual obligation for completion.
Rushing through handover without conducting a systematic snag inspection, and releasing final payment before snags are resolved.
