Snag list (UK)
Snag list is the UK term. In Australia, builders call it a defects list, the running list of items raised at PCI for the builder to rectify before final.
Ask Chalkline about this →UK and Irish term. In Australia, the equivalent is the defects list, and that’s the term used in HIA, MBA, ABIC, and most owner-builder contracts.
If you’re working from a UK-imported contract, template, or estate-agent style brief, expect “snag list” or “snagging” instead. The concept is the same: the running list of items identified at PCI that the builder must rectify before final payment.
On AU residential jobs, write “defects list” or just “defects”.
Also known as: Snagging (UK), punch list (US, commercial).
