home owner. I issued out 10 & 20 month snagging letters to home owners as well as access letters, my job also
included scanning of documents, filing, laminating and closing of jobs on SiteStream when advised they were
completed, I sent out emails chasing contractors from a snagging list asking for any updates that were showing to be
