Factors to Consider Before Going for Scaffolding Rental
by Kevil Nill Nescaffold
The use of scaffolding
has been with the construction industry for decades now. With an increasing
acceptance from the industry’s stakeholders, governments, and other key
governing bodies, more and more people are appreciating their uses and hiring
them for days on end. If you are also considering scaffolding rental,
here are some factors to consider.
Length of the Project
How long is your
project expected to run? Is it projected to be a small or large one that will
take fewer or more scaffolds, respectively? Whichever the case it is, your
decision will be highly influenced in this case.
Type of Scaffolding
Scaffolding can take any form and size, depending on the project needs. When you are negotiating with your scaffolding rental, ME company, ensure to ask the types that they have. Often, you may find the following types:
- Steel Scaffolding: - steel scaffolding works for all trades and offers sturdier support.
- Aluminum Scaffolding: - lightweight aluminum towers can be used over roofs and in awkwardly tight spaces such as stairwells and lift wells.
- Access Towers: - this type offers enough access to roofing and high-rise walls using aluminum or steel scaffolds.
Experience
Your experience is a
key factor, too, if you want to use scaffolding platforms. If you have used
them before and have the required skills and experience, it would be easier to
manage, erect, and dismantle them. If no one in your team has the right experience
or is competent enough to handle them, the scaffolding rental company may offer
their personnel prior to arrangements and agreements.
Number of Scaffolding
Needed
The number of
scaffolding that your project may require will also help you to make the right
decision while hiring the structures. This will also help you to save on time
and money since you will have a one-off negotiation and have the structures
delivered to your job site. Always ensure that the contractor has the
dimensions of your project at hand for them to help you in selecting the
scaffolds too.
Budget
Lastly, your operating
budget should never be overlooked when hiring scaffolds. It is the key
determinant since it can influence how many scaffolds you will hire, for how long,
and from what company.
While selecting the
rental contractors, also check their pricing and compare several pricing charts
with your budget. This you do to ensure that you do not end up overspending or
stretching your pockets wider.
