What should a snag list template include?
A snag list template should record, for each snag: a reference, the exact location, the trade responsible, a fault type, a priority, a description of what 'fixed' means, a photo, an owner with a target date, a status, and close-out evidence showing who fixed it and who verified it.
Last updated . Facts checked on 30 September 2026 against Designing Buildings Wiki: Snagging construction works.
Who uses it
Installers, site supervisors and project managers snagging their own work, or clearing a list issued by a main contractor or client.
When
Before the main contractor's snag inspection, at practical completion, and for defects raised during the rectification period.
In Integrio
Build it once in the Form Builder (Office User), attach it to projects, and your team fills it in on iOS or Android, offline if needed.

From the field
How do you get the most from a snag list template?
Write what 'fixed' means
“Charger label wrong” leads to an argument; “replace bay 12 label with the ID on the schedule” gets closed.
Record whose snag it is
Damage by another trade or a late client change should be logged as theirs, with a photo, before you touch it.
Close with a matching photo
Take the fix photo from the same angle as the original. Side by side, nobody needs to revisit to check.
Is this snag list template free?
+
Yes. Use the fields on this page in any format: print it, copy it into a spreadsheet, or set it up in Integrio, where snags are raised from the phone with a marked-up photo and tracked to close-out.
When is a snag list drawn up?
+
The main snagging inspection usually happens shortly before practical completion, and the list is prepared by the architect, contract administrator or employer's agent. Defects that appear after practical completion are dealt with in the rectification period, typically six to twelve months under JCT contracts.

How do I prioritise snags?
+
Use a short fixed scale everyone understands. This template uses four levels: urgent (safety risk or blocks handover), high (before practical completion), normal (before client sign-off) and low (next visit).
Can I use it for solar, EV and M&E snags as well as building work?
+
Yes. The system or trade field covers solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, electrical, mechanical, fire and security and data, and the exact position field takes array rows and car park bays as well as room locations.
How do I use this template in Integrio?
+
Snagging in Integrio already records fault type, priority, description, location, annotated photos, assignee, deadline and status, and exports the list as PDF or Excel. To add your own fields, build the form in the Integrio Form Builder, which is on the Office User plan.
