Getting your head around all these building terms, names and quite frankly JARGON can be a little daunting. Here Pro Snagger will bust that down so it all makes sense. This way you will know what they’re talking about when you go to your “meet the builder” meeting, “home tour” or “home demo” and by the time handover day comes, you may sound like a builder. Um, minus the swearing.

Settling?

With any new build, settling of the building is to be expected. It is not uncommon to spot fine hairline cracks in corners of your new home. Your developer will usually suggest them to be left and made good on in a 12 month period.

Can you complete your own snag list?

Absolutely! Your developer will usually give you 7 days following handover to compile and submit a snag list for them to make good on. If you choose to complete your own snag list, it may be easier to use a colourful tape or postit to mark the defects where they are and write down a description. Use the 7 days to take a good look around your new home. It’s almost impossible to pick up everything in a day.

For the purpose of an Australian: The Australian National Dictionary Centre suggests that snag as slang for "sausage" most likely derives from the earlier British slang for "light meal", although it makes no comment on how it came to be specifically applied to sausages. 17 October 2022, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/snag
