Scaffolding quoting

Scaffolding quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Scaffolding pricing is rarely just the erect — it's height and elevations, access on site, load rating, and above all how long the scaffold stays up, since most jobs carry an ongoing hire duration on top of erect and dismantle. Tradewin prices each job against your real labour, transport and hire costs and sends a clear quote that separates the erect, the hire period and the dismantle. Save your common configs — standard two-storey wrap, mobile tower, chimney access — as TradeWin Recipes™ so repeat quotes take seconds.

What drives the price of scaffolding work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Hire duration

Most of the value is in how long the scaffold stays standing — a one-week hire and a three-month hire on the same structure are very different quotes.

Height & elevations

Storey count and the number of elevations wrapped drive both the gear needed and the erect and dismantle labour.

Access & site

Tight yards, uneven ground and awkward setbacks slow the erect and can force extra tie-ins or a different base — access is a real cost.

Engineering & loading

Cantilever, outrigger and heavily loaded commercial scaffolds need engineered design and higher load ratings, which lift the price well above a standard wrap.

Common scaffolding jobs and what moves the price

  • Cantilever / Outrigger Scaffold

    Engineering requirements and load ratings drive significant cost variation.

  • Chimney / Roofline Scaffold

    Height, roof pitch, and anchor requirements affect pricing.

  • Commercial Scaffold

    Facade area, access requirements, loading, and duration cause major variation.

  • Mobile Scaffold Tower

    Height specification and whether hire-only vs. delivered-erected affects pricing.

  • Residential Scaffold — 2 Storey

    Perimeter, access requirements, and duration drive pricing.

  • Residential Scaffold — Standard

    Height, elevation count, and duration significantly affect pricing.
