What Is Snagging
Understanding Snagging in Construction
"Snagging" is a widely used term in the construction industry, though its meaning can vary depending on the context. While commonly understood, it's essentially a slang expression that may differ in interpretation from one project to another. In the U.S., it’s often referred to as a "punch list."
Given these nuances, it’s essential for contractors and clients to clarify how the term is being applied on any given project. Here’s a breakdown of some common uses of snagging lists in the industry:
-
Pre-Completion Snagging List:
Compiled by the contract administrator, this list details outstanding work that needs to be completed before the project can achieve practical completion. -
De Minimis Items:
This refers to a list of minor tasks that still need attention even after the practical completion has been reached. -
Finalization Snagging List:
As practical completion is being finalized, a list of more significant outstanding items is compiled. These items are included in the appendix of the practical completion certificate. -
Post-Certification Snagging List:
Occasionally, certain items are identified as outstanding only after the practical completion certificate has been issued. These are typically more significant issues that weren’t caught earlier.
In essence, a "snag" refers to anything deemed defective, broken, or unfinished. While many snags are cosmetic, others may indicate more serious defects or poor workmanship that could lead to future problems.
Understanding the scope and context of snagging lists ensures that all parties involved are on the same page and that the project is completed to the highest standard.
