Snagging / Punchlist Documentation

the evidence system camera footage and 360° capture used to document defects, incomplete items, and non-conformances at/near practical completion — providing timestamped visual evidence accompanying formal snagging lists.

Trigger, activity, conclusion

01 · Trigger

Project reaches practical completion; client/employer's agent initiates formal snagging inspection to identify outstanding defects/incomplete works.

02 · Activity

Systematically photographing, recording, and cataloguing defects/incomplete items across the completed building, producing a visual punchlist.

03 · Conclusion

All snagging items on formal punchlist rectified, independently verified, and signed off by client. Defects liability period commences.

Workflow steps

  1. Step 01

    Practical completion anticipated or formally notified; snagging inspection scheduled.

Evidence records

User described using the evidence system's 360° capture to conduct a systematic close-out inspection across multiple floors, logging each defective item with its 360° location reference and attaching screenshots to their punchlist — describing this as "the only way to manage snagging at scale on a complex project without walking every floor three times."
Anonymized evidence record 32.1
Formal snagging inspections are a contractual requirement under standard forms (JCT, NEC, FIDIC) and represent a defined, time-bounded workflow that occurs on every construction project at practical completion, creating a recurring, predictable demand for visual documentation tools.
Anonymized evidence record 32.2
The use of photographic evidence to substantiate snagging items and prevent "it was like that when we handed over" disputes is established practice — the evidence system's timestamped records and 360° spatial context extend this capability significantly beyond standard site photography.
