Snag reporting software
Snag reporting software that turns a photo into a fixable record
A snag isn't fixed because it's in a photo on someone's phone. It's fixed when it becomes a record — a described photo, a precise location, factual wording, an owner and a status that runs from raised to closed. SnagGrid captures each snag on site in about a minute and keeps the whole list moving.
In short
SnagGrid is snag reporting software for property handover, construction, contractors, facilities and property teams. Photograph a defect, drop a pin so the address auto-fills, and the AI drafts factual wording from only what you captured — you approve every word, then route it to the right person. Each snag becomes a tracked record with a status, follow-up reminders and an audit trail, so your snag list lives in one place instead of scattered across a camera roll and a spreadsheet.
The problem
Why camera-roll-and-spreadsheet snag lists fail
The classic snag list is two disconnected things: a phone full of photos with no labels, and a spreadsheet full of labels with no photos. Reconciling them happens later, at a desk, from memory — which is exactly when detail leaks away. Which curb? Which unit? Was that crack the one by the door or the one near the window?
And even a tidy spreadsheet can't do the part that matters most: it can't chase.A row that says “open” will say “open” forever unless a human remembers to look. Most snags don't stay unresolved because they're hard to fix — they stay unresolved because nobody followed up.
A photo on your camera roll is not a snag report
Without a description, a location and an owner, a photo is just a picture. SnagGrid turns the moment you spot a snag into a structured record on the spot: the AI describes the photo, the pin resolves to a real address, and rough notes become firm, factual prose you approve.
The workflow
Capture, route, track to closed
Capture the snag where you're standing
Photograph the defect — images compress on the device so they upload even on weak signal in a basement or stairwell. The map finds you, you drag the pin to the exact spot, and the street address fills itself in. The AI describes the photo in wording you approve.
Draft factual wording — never invented
Your rough notes become a clear, factual snag description, drafted from only what you captured. SnagGrid never invents a defect, a measurement or a cause. You read it, edit it, and approve it before it goes anywhere.
Assign, route and track
Each snag routes to the configured recipient — a contractor, an FM inbox, a site manager. The dashboard tracks status with filters by category, status, person and date, so the snag list is always current. When a snag goes quiet, a one-tap reminder lights up so you can resend, escalate or mark it resolved.
Why it holds up
Every snag carries its own evidence
When responsibility, timelines or liability are questioned, the difference between “I'm sure I raised that” and a dated, located, photographed record is the difference between an argument and a fact. SnagGrid logs every report, email, edit and sign-in to an audit trail, and you can export the whole snag list to CSV for handover packs or client reporting.
- Described photo evidence written into each snag record.
- Precise location, resolved to a real street address.
- Factual wording the AI drafts but you approve.
- Status tracking from raised to closed, with filters.
- Follow-up reminders so no snag is silently abandoned.
- A full audit trail and CSV export for handover and disputes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What is snag reporting software?
- Snag reporting software replaces camera-roll photos and spreadsheets with a structured record of each defect — a described photo, a precise location, factual wording, a recipient and a status — so every snag is captured once and tracked to closed.
- Can I build a snag list for a property handover?
- Yes. Capture each snag in the field with a photo and pin, let the AI draft factual wording from only what you captured, approve it, and route it to the contractor or inbox that owns the fix. The dashboard becomes your live snag list.
- How does SnagGrid capture a snag's location?
- The map finds you when it opens. Drag the pin to the exact spot and the street address fills itself in, so every snag carries a precise, dated location rather than a vague description.
- Does the AI invent defects or wording?
- No. The AI describes your photo and drafts factual wording from only what you captured — it never invents facts. You read, edit and approve every word before anything is sent.
- Can I assign snags and track them to completion?
- Yes. Route each snag to a configured recipient, track status from sent to resolved, filter the dashboard by category, status, person or date, and use one-tap follow-up reminders when a snag goes quiet.
- What types of snags can SnagGrid handle?
- Site snags, property defects and damage, grounds maintenance, damaged curbs, unsafe sidewalks, blocked drains and more — alongside common-area issues like general maintenance, illegal dumping and broken lighting.
