A snag list is what contractors in the UK, Ireland, and Australia call a punch list — a closeout document that records deficiencies, incomplete items, and work that doesn't meet the agreed standard before a project can be signed off. Each item on the snag list needs to be resolved and documented before final payment is released.
The term "snag" comes from British construction English. "Punch list" is the North American equivalent. They describe the same workflow: at the end of a project, a walkthrough identifies outstanding items, each is documented, assigned, and tracked until resolved.
A paper snag list is a liability. Items are written ambiguously. Photos are taken separately and never matched to the right item. There's no audit trail for when items were documented, who documented them, or when they were resolved. Disputes arise about whether something was pre-existing or caused during the work. The paper form gets lost.
A digital snag list with required photos removes all of this ambiguity. Each snag is documented with a photo, GPS location, and timestamp the moment it's identified. The resolution is documented the same way. The entire record is permanent, shareable, and defensible.
Manifold is used by contractors across the UK and internationally for snag list documentation. The workflow is straightforward: create a project for the snag walkthrough, photograph each snag with a note describing what needs to be corrected, and generate a PDF at the end of the walkthrough to share with the client or main contractor.
Each snag gets its own photo. Add a note describing the deficiency — what it is, where it is, and what needs to be done to resolve it. The photo is automatically GPS-tagged and timestamped. Multiple photos per snag are supported for complex items.
When a snag is resolved, the responsible trade photographs the completed work. The before-and-after photos are stored together in the same project. The final PDF shows both — the snag as documented, and the resolved condition with timestamp.
Every Manifold project generates a shareable browser link. Send the snag list link to your client or main contractor. They view all photos with GPS locations and timestamps directly in their browser — no app, no account required. The PDF can be attached to the practical completion certificate or final account.
$16/user/month for the Photo plan — GPS photos, snag lists, and PDF reports. No seat minimums. Works on iOS and Android. Free trial, no credit card required.
