About the Site Inspection Checklist & Snag List for Construction
Go through a quality checklist on site and answer each item Yes, No or NA, with remarks and photos. Every No becomes a snag: who will fix it, by when, and whether it is open or closed. The checklists cover the checks before a pour (formwork, reinforcement, cover blocks, embedded items), a concrete pour card, brickwork, plaster, waterproofing, tiling and a room-by-room handover snag list for a flat or house — each item with the clause of the Indian Standard it comes from, where one applies.
Download or share the inspection as a PDF with your name and logo, the results, the snags, the photos (with the time and place the camera recorded) and signatures. The open-snag register keeps every snag that is not closed, from every inspection, until it is. Copy any checklist and edit it for your project. Everything stays on this device.
How to use it
- Choose a checklist and fill in the project, the location or element (for example “Slab S2, 2nd floor”), the date and your name; press Start inspection.
- For each item tap Yes, No or NA, add remarks and photos. For a No, say who will fix it and by when. Mark unanswered items Yes fills the rest when everything else is fine.
- Add other snags you find, choose the result (passed, passed with comments, not passed), and add the names — and signatures if you like — of the inspector and the contractor’s representative.
- Press Download PDF or Share PDF. Snags stay in the Open snags list until you mark them closed — there, or in the inspection.
- To use your own checks, choose a checklist, press Copy and edit this checklist, change the text and save it under a new name.
Examples
21 items: 18 Yes, 1 NA, 2 No (forms not cleaned; cover blocks missing at grid B-C/3)
Result: Not passed · 2 open snags, one for the carpenter and one for the bar-bending gang, fix by tomorrow — in the PDF and in the open-snag register.
Quantity poured: 18 m³
At least 3 samples (9 cubes) under IS 456 cl. 15.2.2: 16–30 m³ needs 3 samples of three cubes each.
Handover snag list, kitchen tap leaking, scratch on the main door
Two snags with photos, who fixes each and by when; the PDF goes to the builder, and the register shows when they are closed.
The checklists and where they come from
- Pre-pour check (RCC) and concrete pour card: from IS 456:2000 — formwork tolerances (cl. 11.1), clean forms and release agent (11.2), bar bending schedule (12.1), clean bars (5.6.1), placing tolerances ±10 / ±15 mm (12.3.1), cover blocks of the nominal cover at no more than 1 m (12.3.2), nominal cover (26.4, Table 16), free fall of about 1.5 m (13.2), compaction (13.3), construction joints (13.4), curing for at least 7 or 10 days (13.5.1), stripping times (11.3) and the number of samples (15.2.2, 15.3).
- Brickwork: from IS 2212:1991 — soaking, full mortar beds, bed joints of 12 mm at most, bond, racking back, no more than 1 m above the rest, curing for seven days.
- Cement plaster: from IS 1661:1972 — preparing the background, thickness, a 4 mm limit under a 2 m straight edge, curing for seven days.
- Tiling: clause numbers from IS 1443:1972, which is about cement concrete tiles; for ceramic and vitrified tiles follow the makers’ instructions.
- Waterproofing and the handover snag list: common site practice, marked “Practice”.
Your drawings and the project specification come first where they say more. Every checklist can be copied and edited.
Yes, No, NA — and snags
An item answered No is a snag. Give it the trade or company that will fix it and a date; it stays open until you set it to closed, and the date it was closed is kept. The Open snags list collects the open snags of all your inspections — overdue ones first — with the project, location, checklist, who is responsible, the fix-by date and how many days it has been open; download it as a PDF to send to a contractor, or as CSV for a spreadsheet. Snags that are not on the checklist go under Other snags.
Photos
Each item and snag can have up to six photos. They are made smaller on your device and printed in the PDF with their reference (for example B5) and caption. The camera’s own time and GPS position are shown read-only, “as recorded by the camera” (the Exif data of the photo, CIPA DC-008) — they cannot be edited here, and they are not proof: a camera clock can be wrong and many apps remove the data.
Your own checklists
Press Copy and edit this checklist and write it as text: a line that starts with # is a section title, every other line is an item, and | basis after an item prints where it comes from (a clause, a drawing, a specification). Save it under its own name; it appears under My checklists. Inspections keep a copy of the checklist they were made with, so changing a checklist later never changes an old report.
Limitations
- A checklist records what the inspector saw and answered; it does not replace the structural engineer’s approval or the tests the specification asks for.
- The built-in items quote the published Indian Standards; check the edition and the clauses your contract names, and your drawings, which can ask for more.
- Inspections are kept in this browser on this device; clearing the browser’s data removes them, so keep the PDFs. There is no sync between devices.
- Photos without Exif data show no camera time or location.
- Reports are printed in English. The first PDF needs a connection to download the PDF engine and fonts once.
Privacy
Everything stays on your device: inspections, photos, signatures, your checklists and your logo are kept in this browser’s IndexedDB storage until you delete them — an inspection, or everything at once with Delete all inspections and checklists at the bottom of the tool — and PDFs and CSV files are made in the browser. Nothing is sent to MySmartCoPilot or anyone else unless you share a file yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What should be checked before pouring concrete?
The formwork (line, level, dimensions, rigidity, clean forms, release agent), the reinforcement (sizes, spacing, laps, ties, cover blocks of the nominal cover at no more than 1 m), embedded items, the construction joints and that vibrators, cube moulds and curing are ready — the Pre-pour check lists them with their IS 456 clauses.
How many cube samples are needed for a pour?
Under IS 456 cl. 15.2.2: 1 sample for 1–5 m³, 2 for 6–15 m³, 3 for 16–30 m³, 4 for 31–50 m³, then one more for each further 50 m³ or part, and at least one a shift; each sample is three cubes (cl. 15.3). Enter the quantity on the pour card and the page works it out.
What is a snag list?
A list of defects to be put right — usually made before a flat or building is handed over. Here every item answered No is a snag with the person responsible, a fix-by date and its status, and the open ones stay in the register until closed.
Can I add my company logo?
Yes — under Your name and logo on the reports. The logo and name print at the top of every inspection report and the snag register.
Can I change the checklist?
Yes. Copy any checklist and edit its sections and items as plain text; save it as your own. The built-in lists stay as they are.
