We thoroughly check the exterior of the property, which includes roofing, gutters, downpipes, and drainage systems. We aim to identify any defects that could lead to water damage or structural issues in the future.

Our team looks for any imperfections, gaps, uneven surfaces, or poor finishes that could detract from the overall quality and aesthetics of your new home.
Detailed report for accountability
After identifying the issues, we create a full report that the builder can reference to make the necessary repairs. This will assist you in highlighting the defects through a clear and detailed report and allow you to communicate with your builder, ensuring that all issues are highlighted and will show that the property is not in line with your expectations. This will hold your builder accountable and ensure they meet their obligations.
Your house - Get it Checked
Receiving the keys to your property does not mean that any defects become your responsibility. The builder remains liable for defects for up to two years. However, Snag & Inspect can conduct a comprehensive inspection as early as possible which increases the likelihood that any issues will be identified promptly. Early detection allows the builder to address defects in a timely manner, preventing minor concerns from developing into more significant problems.
