- Identifying Defects: Snagging involves inspecting properties for defects such as poor workmanship, incomplete works, or damages that might have gone unnoticed during construction.
- Documenting Issues: A snagging checklist is used to document all identified defects, which are then categorized based on severity and urgency.
- Rectifying Issues: The contractor or developer is responsible for rectifying the defects and completing the necessary repairs.
- Finalizing Handover: After all defects are resolved, the property is considered complete, and the handover process can proceed.
- Maintaining Records: Accurate records of snagging, de-snagging, and final approvals are maintained to ensure transparency and accountability.
This process is crucial for ensuring that properties meet the desired standards of quality, safety, and functionality, and for providing a smooth transition for current homeowners.
