New Zealand Snagging Software
In short
PropertySurvey Pro lets New Zealand inspectors capture snagging and condition reports on-site: structured room-by-room logging, EXIF-verified timestamped photos, and branded PDF reports generated natively offline.
New-build snagging and pre-tenancy condition reports in New Zealand involve a lot of photographs, often on sites with patchy reception. PropertySurvey Pro handles hundreds of images and generates the report on the device, so nothing depends on a live connection.
Built for snagging and condition
1. EXIF-verified photo evidence
Every photo carries its EXIF-verified capture timestamp and is laid into the final PDF, giving you a dated record for builders, developers and tenants.
2. Room-by-room condition records
Log condition and snags consistently across each room, grouped clearly so defects are easy to track to completion.
3. Offline reporting on every site
Generate photo-heavy PDF reports on the device with no mobile reception, then sync to the cloud when you have signal.
The NZ Building Code & Healthy Homes Standards
New work in New Zealand is built to the NZ Building Code, including clauses E2 (External Moisture) and E3 (Internal Moisture). Since 1 July 2025, all private rentals must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards, which cover heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. Pre-tenancy condition reports are a natural place to record observations relevant to those standards — confirm the current requirements that apply rather than relying on a generic timeframe. For detailed moisture and ventilation diagnostics, our sister app DampApp Pro adds on-device dew-point and psychrometric analysis.
New Zealand's standards sit within a wider international shift toward enforceable rental housing-condition standards, alongside the UK's Renters' Rights Act 2025.
New Zealand snagging software — FAQs
Which New Zealand standards can reports reference?▾
New work is built to the NZ Building Code, including clauses E2 (External Moisture) and E3 (Internal Moisture), and private rentals must meet the Healthy Homes Standards. PropertySurvey Pro produces structured snagging and condition records you can map to those frameworks; confirm the current requirements that apply to the property and tenure rather than relying on a generic timeframe.
What do the Healthy Homes Standards cover?▾
Since 1 July 2025, all private rentals in New Zealand must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards, which cover heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. Pre-tenancy condition reports are a natural place to record observations relevant to those standards, with dated photo evidence.
Does it work offline on New Zealand sites?▾
Yes. Capture, photo logging and PDF generation run entirely on the device, so new-build sites and rural properties with patchy reception are no problem. The app handles hundreds of images, and records sync to your own account across your devices and back up once you have signal.
How does it help with moisture and ventilation under E2/E3?▾
You can record condition and snags relevant to external and internal moisture with EXIF-verified timestamped photos. For detailed moisture and ventilation diagnostics, our sister app DampApp Pro adds on-device dew-point and psychrometric analysis.

There is a free tier, and AI Polish includes a few trial runs so you can review the report wording before export. Pro adds a daily AI allowance plus the option to add your own Google Gemini or OpenAI key. Regional pricing is shown in the App Store and Google Play.
