Snagging records need more than a photo
A snag photo is useful, but it needs location, owner, priority, due date and close-out evidence to become a controlled record. Without those fields, teams can spend time rechecking what has already been fixed.
Quality evidence should make defects easy to find, assign and close.
What each record should show
- Project, zone, floor, room or asset reference.
- Defect type, description and priority.
- Photos before and after close-out.
- Owner, subcontractor or responsible company.
- Due date, comments and status history.
- Client acceptance or inspection sign-off where needed.
- Exportable report for progress meetings and handover.
Keep close-out visible
Close-out evidence should sit beside the original issue. This avoids separate photo folders and makes it easier to prove that the right defect was corrected.
How Zektrx helps
Zektrx helps contractors capture quality issues, photos, actions, owners and reports so snagging evidence becomes part of the wider project record.
