What is the purpose of Snagging
Snagging is a quality control process that is typically carried out in construction projects. The purpose of snagging is to identify and rectify any defects or issues in a new building or structure before it is handed over to the client or occupants.
During snagging, a trained professional, often a snagging inspector or consultant, inspects the building or structure to identify any issues such as incomplete or substandard work, damage, or missing components. These issues are then documented in a snagging report, which is provided to the construction team for rectification.
By carrying out snagging, the quality of the building or structure can be improved, and any issues can be addressed before the client or occupants move in, avoiding potential safety hazards and saving costs associated with repairs that may be more difficult to carry out after the building is in use.
