If you are planning and organising a construction project, at some point you may require the services of an expert scaffolding company to help you complete the development. Choosing the right kind of organisation is vital to your build, it is a complex field that must not be overlooked.
Here are some essential factors to consider when hiring and erecting scaffolding systems.
Sourcing a Competent Organisation
Finding a reliable, professional scaffold company is just as important as using the right material to build a home, if you don’t lay the correct foundations, you could jeopardise the whole project.
You must work with a business who have a proven track record, they should have years of experience in the industry and their scaffold prices must match your budget.
A trustworthy scaffold service provider will be able to show their clients’ industry recognised certificates and awards.
Our fully qualified design engineers have plenty of knowledge and experience in the industry, our scaffolding services include quotations, assessments and comprehensive design packages.
Safety Measures
Expert scaffolding consultants will be able to prove their dedication to health and safety by providing their clients with the necessary documents.
A professional organisation should ensure that everything is in place before the structure is built, if they fail to discuss their safety measures, you can always ask them to give you a breakdown of what it entails.
You can organise a meeting with the scaffolders to inquire about health and safety procedures, you’ll want to know about procedures for use of:
- Ladders
- Access Gates
- Handrails
- Harnesses
Taking measures to safeguard your project and the people working there is vitally important, that’s why at DH Scaffold Services Ltd, we take steps to ensure our structures are built with health and safety in mind.
Discuss the Scaffolding Companies Needs
When speaking to scaffold firms, inquire about their installation requirements prior to arriving on site. A professional scaffolding team will have a few requests before they arrive at your project, mostly concern the location of the scaffold.
To avoid any delays, it is better to clear the site before the company arrives or organise a site visit prior to erecting the structure.
If you want the job done right, we recommend contacting our experienced engineers and scheduling a site survey. This way we get to assess your project and discuss your needs in person, giving us a chance to fully evaluate the development.
Regular Examinations
After erecting scaffold on your project, a team who provides expert scaffolding services should make frequent inspections to ensure everything is working effectively and nothing needs to be fixed.
Before the scaffold has been built, ask the company about their procedures concerning safety inspections, they should take responsibility and regularly assess the structure.
Regularly inspection and assessment are vital to ensure safety, that’s why our team also offer scaffolding check-ups on structures we haven’t designed ourselves.
