Snag List App for New Builds, Refurbs & Handover
Walk the property, photograph every snag, and hand over a professional snagging report before you're back in the van — all from your phone, with no cloud account needed.
A snag list captures every defect, unfinished job and quality issue found during an on-site inspection of a construction project — from a scratched worktop in a new build to a missing fire seal in a commercial fit-out. Site Report Expert turns snagging from an evening of paperwork into something you finish on site.
How Site Report Expert simplifies snagging
- Capture snags in seconds. Photograph the snag, mark it up with your finger, add a title, description, status and priority — done.
- Multiple photos per snag. Show the wide shot and the close-up, plus follow-up photos when work is completed, so progress is transparent.
- Organize by location. Group snags by block, floor, flat or room — or pin them directly to a floor plan so contractors know exactly where to go.
- Assign and track. Assign each snag to a contractor or teammate, see who's working on what, and filter to what's still outstanding.
- Share without a cloud service. Send whole projects or individual snags to your team via WhatsApp or email; the app imports them automatically on the other side.
Professional snagging reports in one tap
Generate a branded PDF snagging report — cover page, your logo, signature, photo timestamps and page numbers — or a matching Excel report for tracking. Sort snags by room, filter by status, and choose between condensed and enlarged layouts depending on how much detail your client wants.
Because reports live with the project, your snag list history doubles as a compliance record: proof of what was found, when, and when it was fixed.
How to create a snag list in the app
- Create a project with the client and job reference.
- Add locations (floors, flats, rooms) or import a floor plan.
- Walk the site and add snags with photos and markup.
- Assign snags, set statuses and fix-by dates.
- Export a PDF or Excel snagging report and share it.
Snag list questions, answered
What's the difference between a snag list and a punch list?
They're the same idea with regional names — "snag list" is common in the UK and Ireland, "punch list" in North America. Site Report Expert handles both, and you can rename every label to match your terminology. See our punch list app page.
Can contractors without the app see my snags?
Yes — send them the PDF report, which needs no app at all. If they install Site Report Expert (free), you can share the project file itself and they'll get every snag, photo and status update to work from.
How many snags and photos can I add?
There's no practical limit — projects, snags and photos are stored on your device, so capacity depends only on your phone's storage.
