Many homeowners worry about the next steps once their snagging inspection is complete. Knowing the process ensures defects are addressed properly and quickly.




Step 1: Receive a Professional Report


A detailed report is prepared by a registered surveyor, showing each defect clearly, with photographs and notes on severity.




Step 2: Submit to the Builder


The report is sent to the builder, who is obliged to correct defects under warranty. The more precise the report, the faster and easier the builder can act.




Step 3: Follow-Up


Some defects may take time to repair. Your inspector can advise on whether corrections meet expected standards.




Step 4: Final Review


Once repairs are complete, a follow-up check ensures everything has been corrected properly — protecting you from long-term problems.




Conclusion


A snagging report is only the first step. Professional follow-up guarantees defects are resolved and your home is delivered as promised. Skipping this step could leave you responsible for costly repairs.
