Defect resolution that scales with your developments

When you are handing over hundreds of plots a year, snagging cannot live in spreadsheets. Defectly gives developers plot-by-plot visibility, subcontractor accountability with photo evidence, and a structured customer-care workflow that runs through the two-year defects period.

Why volume developers choose Defectly

From first snagging inspection to the end of the defects period, every issue has an owner, a deadline and an evidence trail.

Plot-by-Plot Visibility

See open, in-progress and resolved defects for every plot across every site. Drill from a development-level view down to a single defect record in two clicks.

Subcontractor Accountability

Assign each defect to the responsible trade with a deadline. Completion requires photo evidence, so "done" means demonstrably done — not just marked off.

Customer-Care Workflow

Give purchasers a structured channel to report defects after completion. Your customer-care team triages, assigns and closes issues with the homeowner kept informed throughout.

Two-Year Defects Period

Every defect is timestamped at report and resolution, so you can see what falls inside the defects period and evidence how it was handled, plot by plot.

Aligned with NHQB Expectations

The New Homes Quality Code and the New Homes Ombudsman scheme expect a clear, documented complaints and aftercare process. Defectly provides the structured record-keeping that supports one.

Board-Ready Oversight

Resolution rates, open defect counts and ageing by site and by trade — the numbers your board and your customer-satisfaction reporting need, without compiling spreadsheets.

Customer Care

A defects process your purchasers can actually see

Most post-completion frustration is not about the defect — it is about silence. Defectly gives every purchaser a clear view of what they reported, who is dealing with it, and when it was resolved, with photo evidence at each stage.

  • Structured reporting for purchasers after legal completion
  • Status visibility from report through to verified resolution
  • Photo evidence at report, during works and at completion
  • A documented history per plot for the full defects period

Oversight

From site level to board level without re-keying anything

Because every defect is structured data, oversight comes free. Site managers see what is outstanding by trade; customer-care leads see ageing reports before they become complaints; directors see resolution progress across the whole programme.

  • Open and overdue defects by site, plot and trade
  • Resolution-time visibility across developments
  • Evidence-backed records for ombudsman or warranty queries
  • Exportable history for reporting packs

Developer FAQs

Defect management at development scale, answered

The builders solution focuses on smaller-scale building firms managing snagging on individual projects. This page covers volume and national developers: multiple live sites, hundreds of plots, dedicated customer-care teams, and board-level reporting on resolution progress.
Yes. Properties can be organised so each development and phase is visible separately, while portfolio-level views aggregate open defects, ageing and resolution rates across everything you have live.
Trades receive assignments with the defect detail, photos and a deadline. They update status and submit completion photos from any modern browser on site. You see exactly which trade is holding up which plot.
The New Homes Quality Code expects developers to operate a clear, documented aftercare and complaints process, with the New Homes Ombudsman available to purchasers. Defectly provides the structured, timestamped records that support that process. It is a record-keeping platform, not a compliance certification or legal advice.
The record remains. You keep a complete, exportable history per plot — useful for warranty queries, dispute resolution and your own build-quality analysis across sites and trades.
Talk to us. Scale plans cover large portfolios, custom onboarding and integrations. We will walk through your current snagging and customer-care workflow and map it onto Defectly.
