Building Inspection App for Professionals
A professional building inspection app for contractors, surveyors, and developers. Digital checklists, photo capture, and automated inspection reports — on any device.
Who Uses Building Inspection Apps?
Building Surveyors
Chartered surveyors use SnaggingTrack to conduct defect surveys, schedule of condition reports, and pre-purchase building inspections. The app's structured checklist and photo documentation workflows align with RICS reporting standards.
Contractors & Main Contractors
Main contractors use building inspection apps to manage snagging, quality audits, and sub-contractor defect reporting across projects. A single platform replaces multiple spreadsheets and paper forms.
Property Developers
Developers use building inspection apps for pre-handover snagging, post-completion inspections during the defect liability period, and portfolio-wide quality oversight across multiple active developments.
Housing Associations
Housing associations conduct stock condition surveys and void property inspections using SnaggingTrack. The standardised inspection templates ensure consistency across their property portfolio.

Building Inspection App for Surveyors
RICS-registered surveyors and building professionals need inspection tools that produce defensible, professional output. SnaggingTrack's building inspection app is designed to meet the reporting standards expected in a professional context.
Reports generated by SnaggingTrack include structured defect descriptions, categorised by element type and severity, with photographic evidence and GPS location data embedded. The report structure aligns with RICS Level 2 and Level 3 survey approaches, providing a useful digital companion to formal written survey reports.
For snagging specialists, the app supports the specific workflows needed for pre-handover inspections: room-by-room inspection navigation, trade categorisation, developer submission formatting, and NHBC warranty reference fields.
