Elevation · live

Indicative visualisation of a standard independent tied access scaffold. It supports scheme understanding — it is not a design and must not be built from without competent review.

When the scaffold is anything but standard

ScaffoldForge covers standard tube-and-fitting configurations inside a typical working range. Cantilevers, temporary roofs, bridging, sheeted schemes in exposure, public interfaces and refused schemes need a competent engineered design — which we also provide, as the engineer-reviewed level of Scaffold Design Master (from £599.99 + VAT).

Standards this toolset is written against

  • Work at Height Regulations 2005
  • BS 5975-1:2024 — temporary works management and control
  • BS EN 12811-1:2003 — scaffold performance requirements and design basis

Scope & competence note

Scaffold Master output supports scheme understanding and standard configurations. It is indicative, is not a scaffold design, and does not replace formal appointment, competent design review, independent checking, statutory duties or project-specific approval under the project temporary works procedure. Configurations outside a typical working range need bespoke structural design. For use by competent persons under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and BS 5975.
