Our snagging inspection teams have been supporting homebuyers, first-time buyers, property investors and solicitors across this part of Aberdeenshire for years.
Our inspectors know the complete range of new build property types found locally — from multi-storey residential towers with specialist envelope and MEP requirements and large estate developments with multiple contractor handovers to individual new build plots with specific structural requirements. That local knowledge means we arrive with the right equipment, the right inspection approach and the right expertise for your particular new build — first time, every time.
Every inspection is carried out by a fully RPSA-accredited, insured snagging surveyor — not a third-party contractor or temporary staff member. We arrive on time, provide a fixed price before we start and do not submit your report until every defect has been documented and you are fully satisfied. All projects include public liability insurance and zero hidden charges.
From single apartment pre-completion checks to large-scale post-completion snagging surveys with thermal imaging and drone roof inspections, we handle every type of project. We also serve surrounding towns and villages — contact us if you are unsure whether we cover your specific postcode.

If you need an inspection at short notice — particularly if you are facing an imminent completion date — same-day slots are available subject to availability. Call us and we can usually have a local snagging inspector with you the same day or the following morning.
What affects your inspection price
The cost of your snagging inspection depends on the size and type of new build, the stage of completion, the property's structural complexity, and whether you need extras like thermal imaging, licensed drone survey or return inspection after developer remediation. We provide a free, clear all-inclusive quote with zero hidden charges. Booking midweek, confirming key holder availability in advance and providing the development name and plot number before the visit are all effective ways to ensure a smooth booking process. We will always give you the most competitive quote for your inspection.
