What this work involves
Let working height, loading, ground conditions, access and protection of occupants determine the appropriate provision.
- Working height and arrangement
- Access and protection
- Assembly, inspection and duration
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Include material samples and edge details in the design decision.
What the drawing needs to explain
Detail the lower edge and the junction with another material. Show where water can drain and how an element can be replaced without opening the entire finish.
Decide this before construction
Select the material early enough to design edges and fixings around it. Review a sample in its intended location before placing the full order.
Compare the complete intervention
Compare purchase and recurring maintenance costs. Ask about preparation, fixings and access; the material price per square metre alone gives insufficient guidance.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on size, duration, ground conditions and assembly access. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for scaffolding & site access. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging scaffolding & site access?
Scaffold hire, assembly and inspection are separate elements. Define responsibilities and the work the arrangement is intended to support.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
