A scaffolding contractor supervises a team of workers to erect or tear down scaffolding structures, often owning and leasing the scaffolding. They work on construction sites before, during, and after construction to ensure proper installation and safety. They also draw up plans for the overall design of the structure.
A scaffolding contractor is a person who supervises a team of workers who will erect or tear down scaffolding structures. The scaffolding contractor will also often be responsible for the delivery of the scaffolding materials; in many cases, the contractor owns the scaffolding and will lease it to various construction equipment that needs these structures. The contractor will work on the construction site before, during and after the construction process to oversee the proper installation of the scaffolding towers and ensure that the units are being used properly and safely.
A construction company may hire an in-house scaffolding contractor to work exclusively on that company’s construction projects, but in most cases, an independent contractor will be retained by a construction company to work on the jobsite as needed. This means that the scaffolding contractor typically runs their own business, which entails delivering the product, building the structure, and breaking down the structure after construction is complete. As the construction project progresses, the scaffold contractor will need to revisit the site frequently to add to the scaffold towers or tear them down. Usually, a contract is drawn up between the contractor and the construction company to outline specific timelines and job roles that the contractor will need to complete.
Any additional equipment added to the scaffolding structure will also need to be installed by the scaffolding contractor. Such equipment may include lifts and hoists, elevator systems, ladders and ladders, and tool buckets. While some of this equipment can be installed quickly and easily by other construction professionals, it is generally up to the contractor to complete these tasks to avoid improper installation and accidents due to installations performed by non-certified workers. The structure will also be inspected by the contractor during the construction process to ensure that the scaffold has not undergone alterations that could affect its stability or safety.
Before scaffolding can be installed, the scaffolding contractor will need to draw up a plan for the overall design of the structure. He will work with the construction supervisor to review the construction plans so the contractor knows how much scaffolding will be needed, where it should be built, how it should be built and what specific materials should be used. Scaffolding can be constructed in many different ways, and the specific design will depend on what type of construction is being done and how many people will be using the structure at one time.
