Cost of Scaffolding

Bear in mind, as the size of a construction project increases, so does the cost of scaffolding.

As of late, the pressures within the construction industry have caused the cost of scaffolding to become relatively stable.

Finding a scaffolding company that you can trust is very important when buying scaffolding, to ensure that you are buying a good quality product.

A good scaffolding rental company will be able to give you an exact date when the scaffolding will be delivered, and will also agree to give you a guarantee that if they do not deliver on the correct day you will receive some financial compensation.

You can always check with the manufacture if you need to know the load capacities of scaffolding components.

Before you buy your own scaffolding it will pay you to do some research on the available types of scaffolding.

Common causes of scaffolding accidents include; insecure bracing, faulty equipment, forgotten safety components, faulty planking and shoddy construction materials.

On surfaces such a hard concrete it's possible to use scaffolding without base plates. However, it is recommended to always use base plates.

A mobile scaffold is a type of freestanding independent scaffold. It is mounted on castors or wheels that swivel and allow the scaffold to be easily moved from location to location.

The trickiest part of any scaffolding job is the scaffolding design.
