Based on leading industry experts we have compiled this checklist to follow when purchasing scaffolding and formwork equipment.

One of the first important rules is to always follow the standards. Although similar, each region regulates specific requirements that refer to each particular part such as a tube, couplers, boards, and system scaffolding specifications. So make sure that the purchased scaffold material possesses the relevant certification.

Scaffolding has also undergone changes in its development and, compared to the past, it has become a developed technological product. So, although the best scaffolding may appear simple, it is definitely worth investing time and financial resources into because of the integration with construction systems. This offers plenty of opportunities when setting the scaffolding in different construction sites and this can save you both money and time -the assembly is straightforward and there is a little need of adaptations in reference to stability and space requirements, among others.

Some of the other aspects to take into consideration are the requirements for vertical access and to ensure traceability, meaning that there are markings that show the date and place of production. Ensure that there is thorough technical support that can help you out if needed.

Scaffolding is used mostly for access to heights and in general areas which are hard to access, whereby the main purpose is to ensure safety for the employees working on the construction site. It is also used as forms of formwork, building concert stages, viewing towers, home improvement projects, and even art projects. If you are in the middle of home renovation and ladders are not much of a help, consider scaffolds. In terms of prices, there are two options; you can buy it outright, or you could hire it for a reduced cost.
