Signage & security snags at handover

These entries cover statutory and wayfinding signs, along with access control, CCTV and intruder alarms. Security systems need commissioning and handing over with codes and fobs, so check they work on the day of handover.

Updated 19 October 2026

SiteSnag’s library has 6 entries under signage & security. They’re listed below with the most serious first. Each one gives the wording an inspector would put in a report and the trade that would fix it, and 1 carry a reference to the standard or guidance they relate to. The references help you look up the relevant section and aren’t a statement that a particular home does or doesn’t comply.

Using these in a report

In the SiteSnag app, starting to type a defect title in the camera brings up these entries. Picking one fills in the description, severity, trade and reference, and you can edit the wording or add your own defects to the library. Every snag then goes into the branded PDF report with its photos and a numbered pin on the floor plan.

For a room-by-room walk-round, use the new build snagging checklist, or go back to all defect categories.
