Construction & handover workflows

Snagging inspections and punch list workflows β€” standardised and streamlined

Capture defects on-site, manage punch lists and generate clear reports β€” so every project handover is faster, more consistent and fully documented.

Built for developers, contractors and property operators.

UK Β· US

Also known as punch list inspections in the US, snagging inspections are used to identify, track and resolve defects before project completion and handover.

The problem

Snagging and punch list processes are often fragmented

Manual lists, spreadsheets and disconnected tools make it difficult to track defects, assign actions and ensure everything is resolved before handover.

Missed defects

Issues are overlooked or not consistently recorded across units and sites.

Poor visibility

Teams struggle to track what's been fixed, what's outstanding and who is responsible.

Slow handover

Delays in resolving punch list items hold up project completion and occupancy.

The solution

One system for snagging inspections and punch list management

Property Inspect provides a structured way to capture defects, manage punch lists and generate clear reports β€” keeping teams aligned from inspection through to resolution.

  • Structured snagging templatesStandardise inspections by unit type, room and trade.
  • Photo-linked defect captureEvery issue carries the evidence and location it needs.
  • Punch list tracking and updatesOpen / for-fix / resolved status across teams and trades.
  • Clear reporting for stakeholdersShare structured reports with developers, contractors and clients.
How it works

From defect capture to handover

Four steps β€” from on-site capture through to a finalised report shared with stakeholders.

STEP 01

Capture defects on-site

Log snagging items or punch list issues directly from your phone or tablet.

STEP 02

Record evidence

Attach photos, notes and locations to every issue.

STEP 03

Track and manage items

Monitor progress and ensure defects are resolved before handover.

STEP 04

Generate reports

Produce structured snagging or punch list reports for teams and stakeholders.

Handover workflows

Designed for construction and property handover

Whether you're inspecting one unit or 600, the same workflow scales β€” from capture through to coordinated resolution.

Unit inspections

Capture snagging items across individual units and rooms.

Site-wide inspections

Run inspections across buildings, developments and portfolios.

Contractor coordination

Assign and track punch list items across teams and trades.

Handover readiness

Ensure all defects are captured and resolved before completion.

Defect capture

Capture every defect with clarity

Ensure every snagging item or punch list issue is recorded consistently, with full context and supporting evidence.

  • Room-by-room inspection structureTemplates that follow the unit, not the inspector's memory.
  • Photo-linked defectsEvery finding carries the photos that prove it.
  • Notes and descriptions per issueCapture context, dimensions and trade-specific detail.
  • Consistent categorisation of findingsSame shape every time β€” across units, blocks and projects.
Punch list management

Track and manage punch list items

Keep visibility over outstanding defects and ensure nothing is missed before project completion.

Track open and resolved items

See exactly what's outstanding, what's for fix and what's done.

Monitor progress across sites

Roll up unit-level data into block, project and portfolio views.

Maintain a clear record

Every action and re-inspection logged with timestamp and author.

Improve accountability

Defects assigned to trades, with status visible to all stakeholders.

Reporting

Clear snagging and punch list reports

Generate structured reports with defects, images and notes β€” ready to share with contractors, developers and stakeholders.

  • Defects grouped by room and tradeStakeholders see what's relevant to them.
  • Photo evidence inline with findingsNo more separate WhatsApp folders or shared drives.
  • Open / for-fix / resolved breakdownStatus of every item visible at a glance.
  • PDF export, shareable links and audit trailHand off the report or a live view β€” your choice.
