Snagging & De-snagging

Protect quality, reputation, and asset value before handover.

"Harrington's Snagging & De-snagging service is a comprehensive quality assurance inspection carried out before project handover to ensure the completed works meet the required standards of quality, functionality, safety, and workmanship. Our objective is to identify every defect, incomplete work, or non-compliance before the asset is delivered, monitor its rectification, and verify that all issues have been successfully resolved before final acceptance."

Our Snagging & De-snagging service includes:

  • Comprehensive inspection of architectural, structural, MEP, and external works.

  • Identification of defects, incomplete works, poor workmanship, damage, and non-compliance with approved drawings and specifications.

  • Functional testing of doors, windows, finishes, fixtures, equipment, and building systems where applicable.

  • Classification and prioritization of defects based on severity and project impact.

  • Preparation of a detailed digital snagging report, including photographs, locations, descriptions, and recommended corrective actions.

  • Coordination with the contractor and relevant stakeholders to communicate findings and required rectifications.

  • Follow-up inspections to verify that all identified defects have been properly rectified.

  • Issuance of De-snagging Reports confirming the status of each item.

  • Final recommendation on project readiness for handover and client acceptance.
