Expert Snagging Surveys
We provide expert specialist snagging reports for first-time buyers and property investors in Cork, Ireland. We will find defects that most others miss.
Why Defect-Detect?
With over a decade working in domestic and commercial architectural and fire engineering practises, our team brings a trained eye for detail to every snagging inspection and pre-purchase survey. Our team will find defects others might miss so you can move into your new home with confidence.
Bringing together international experience from residential architectural firms in Cork and London, alongside commercial sectors in Wellington, Melbourne, and Perth, we offer a truly global perspective on quality. Our portfolio includes work with award-winning practices, and we are equally adept at navigating the distinct challenges of small-scale domestic builds and large-scale developer-led schemes. Above all, our background in construction detailing means we don't just know the regulations—we understand the physical realities of the build process. We know exactly how materials and systems interact, which allows us to spot deviations from the plans and ensure your property is finished to the exacting standards required.
We provide comprehensive snagging reports for new-build developments, identifying critical architectural and structural defects to ensure your investment is secure and compliant.
We can offer other services such as:
-
existing measured surveys
-
schematic designs for extensions
-
loft conversions
-
exempted development advice
