The cost of scaffolding is influenced by factors such as the number of sections needed, weight capacity, time required for assembly, type of scaffolding, and purpose-built platforms. Industrial scaffolding is more expensive than home use, and metal scaffolding is pricier than wooden. New scaffolding costs more than used.
There are many factors that affect the cost of scaffolding. The number of scaffolding sections used can be calculated based on the length and height of the project. The number of workers that will need space arrangements on the scaffolding, the weight that the scaffolding will have to support, and the time required for the scaffolding to be built are all common factors that contribute to the cost of the scaffolding. The cost of the scaffolding is also determined by the type and style of the scaffolding you rent. Some of the heavier components are typically more expensive to lease because the components cost more to service the lease to purchase from the vendor.
Scaffolding is commonly hired from a scaffolding supply service, with several factors contributing to the total cost of the scaffolding for a given job. Smaller sections of scaffolding can typically cost less than larger units. For a job which might involve several masons building a cinder block wall, the cost of the scaffolding will often be higher than other types of scaffolding due to the requirement for the scaffold to be able to safely support more than just the masons of the block, but the blocks and also mortar.
Industrial scaffolding will commonly be more expensive to rent than scaffolding for home use, however, depending on how often you rent it, the industrial cost of scaffolding may actually be less expensive per section. Other factors that contribute to the cost of scaffolding can be the time of year the scaffolding is rented and the number of scaffolding rentals in the area. In off months, the cost may reflect special pricing in order to entice contractors to rent when they might not otherwise be able to use the product. Conversely, when multiple contractors use scaffolding in a similar area, the availability of scaffolding becomes a premium and the cost can increase accordingly.
Metal scaffolding is typically more expensive than the wooden version due, in part, to the greater safety of using the steel product and ease of assembly compared to the heavier wooden components. Another factor that can significantly increase the price of scaffolding is the use of purpose built platforms. In choosing aluminum platforms over the use of wooden planks, the cost of scaffolding units can add up significantly. New scaffolding typically leases at a higher price than used units, due to the tighter fit and higher perceived quality of the new components compared to older used units.
