Professional scaffold design

Designs that work in the real world

Good scaffold design isn't just about drawings. It is about understanding how scaffolds are erected, so designs are practical, compliant and efficient to build.

We use the latest CAD and structural analysis software, and every design considers buildability, site constraints, loading, access and current standards. We work with scaffold companies, principal contractors and construction businesses across the UK.

Our advice

Involve a designer early

We recommend bringing in a scaffold designer as early as possible in project planning. Projects with unusual geometry, cantilevers, temporary roofs or non-TG20 scaffolds should always be assessed by a competent designer.

Prevent delays
Reduce redesign costs
Improve buildability
Identify loading issues early
Produce safer scaffold solutions

When do I need a scaffold design?

Whenever a scaffold falls outside TG20 compliance, or involves complex loading, unusual configurations, temporary roofs, cantilevers or other specialist arrangements.

Can you provide urgent designs?

Yes. We understand deadlines and can offer fast turnaround where needed.

Do you provide calculations?

Yes, supplied alongside the design where required.

Can you amend existing designs?

Absolutely. We regularly revise drawings when project requirements change.

Can you support us long term?

Yes. Many contractors use us as their outsourced scaffold design partner, without employing in-house engineers.
