The standardisation of construction snagging
Series: Structural Survey ; 22(5) 2004, 251-258(8)Publication details: 2004Subject(s): Summary: Looks at how the residential sector of the construction industry continually experiences significant numbers of snags. Discusses how many site issues, including snagging, need to be resolved quickly and efficiently to avoid dispute and more importantly cost overrun. Highlights that snagging information produced by different professionals rarely acknowledges the needs of others. It is often so incompatible that the next stage in many processes is to reconstruct the information into a workable format. Concludes what is required is a coherent approach to the use and implementation of an IT based, industry wide, snagging format which would revolutionise and streamline the recording and approval process of construction snagging. Diagrams, tables and references. (Taken from journal abstract).| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
