New Build Snagging survey

A Survey designed to focus on the quality of build and the general finish of the property. A snag is defined as a a minor imperfection or malfunction in the Complete New Home that does not meet recognised industry standards, finishings and tolerances. Snags are typically something which is damaged, broken, not fitted properly or looks unfinished and can be categorised as: (a) Omitted or incomplete work (b) Faulty or defective work.

Snags are usually identified when works have been completed during an inspection prior to completion. They may also be identified post Completion. This report will offer you a detailed visual inspection of all external grounds, roadways, external and internal elements and finishes to a building to which some areas may fail to meet the New Home Warranty provider’s specified technical standard, and is a must prior to completion on a new build property.

Single defect report

A survey designed to focus on an individual defect or element of a building providing you with a detailed report into the nature of the defect, inspection and conclusion offering advise and recommendations as to further actions required.

Drone Survey

A drone survey can be offered as an aerial survey to inspect areas and defects closely where inspection from ground level is difficult or not possible. This is common for flat roof inspections of lager premises, chimney stacks, and areas that cannot be physically accessed. Drone imaging can be offered as an addition to a Building Survey or Home Survey Report.
