Our Story: Built on Experience
Emerald Snagging Services was born late in 2025 from extensive experience in managing the planning, design, construction and handover of residential housing across Ireland. Our founder, a former finishing foreman and carpenter, witnessed and was told of the difficulties some homeowners had in obtaining a knowledgeable & professional pre-purchase snagger due to factors like location and availability. This led to the vision of Emerald: to provide meticulous, unbiased snag inspections for new homeowners, free from such constraints as location & time frame. With a deep-seated passion for detail, honed since training as a carpenter, our founder, and indeed our entire team, are committed to delivering excellent, client-orientated snag list inspections, with the aim of easing the journey of purchasing your new home.
Why Emerald Snagging Services?
What truly sets Emerald Snagging Services apart? It's our unrivalled keen eye for detail, born from extensive construction experience. We approach every home with the patience and thoroughness we'd expect for our own, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Experience Built Into Every Inspection
Our inspectors bring a wealth of hands-on experience from the planning and construction of hundreds of homes. As qualified tradesmen and foremen with backgrounds in residential building across Ireland, we have a deep understanding of modern construction methods and regulations. This expertise allows us to look beyond surface-level defects, understand their root causes, and apply a level of care and attention that truly sets us apart. The result is a thorough, well-considered snag list that gives you clarity, confidence, and genuine peace of mind as you settle into your new home.

"Emerald snagging services provided us a great service. Our little lad had plenty of questions, even though they were mostly about the diggers on the site, they were answered much to his delight. A young irish company, we wish you guys all the best!"

Disclaimer
The snag inspection and pre-purchase survey are limited to a visual, non-invasive inspection of the readily accessible areas of the property and are carried out solely for the benefit of the prospective purchaser. No opening up, dismantling, lifting of finishes, or other intrusive or destructive investigations are undertaken.
The inspection does not constitute a full building survey, structural survey, or certification of compliance with the Building Regulations. No commissioning, or certification of electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, fire safety, or other specialist systems is carried out. Such systems are assumed to have been installed, inspected, and certified by competent persons in accordance with the Building Regulations 1997–2023 and, where applicable, the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR). No liability is accepted for defects arising from or relating to these systems.
While reasonable skill, care, and professional judgement are exercised during the inspection, no liability is accepted for defects, inclusive of those that are latent, concealed, inaccessible, or otherwise impossible to inspect at the time of the survey. No liability is accepted for defects that may arise after the inspection date. We accept no liability for any defects not identified during the inspection.
The snag inspection does not replace or supersede any statutory certification, Assigned Certifier duties, Certificates of Compliance on Completion, or warranties. Responsibility and liability for design, construction, compliance with building regulations, certification, and workmanship remain solely with the builder, developer, design team, and/or relevant certifying parties.
