GGB Snag list
The defect list from handover inspection that the contractor must close before final payment is released.
A snag list records every defect and unfinished item found when the contractor hands the site over: doors that do not close, missing sealant, faulty sockets, incomplete finishes. It is walked room by room, agreed in writing and tied to the final payment or retention, because leverage disappears the day the money does. Unclosed snags become your maintenance budget.
Illustrative: the handover walk logs 40 snags. The contractor closes 32 in the first week, an 80% close rate, leaving 8 items that stay tied to the retention payment until they are done. Release the money at snag 32 and the last 8 quietly become yours.
