Scaffold data

Scaffold statistics: one house, every system

The same house, 11.4 × 5.3 m with eaves at 4.5 m and a 6 m ridge, scaffolded on all four walls and planned with each of 108 catalogue systems by the engine the app uses. The figures compare systems with one another; they are not a survey of real sites.

How do scaffold systems compare on the same house?

On ScaFix's reference house (11.4 × 5.3 m, eaves 4.5 m), the 108 catalogue systems range from 1.09 to 4.92 parts per m² of scaffold face. Decks run from 11.9 to 35.8 and wall ties from 6.0 to 20.2 per 100 m², with ties from unverified rules marked as estimates. Every figure comes from the app's engine, not from a survey.

Medians by scaffold type

The middle value of each type's systems on the reference house. The wall-tie medians include estimates where a system's tie rule is not yet verified.

How the numbers are made

  • Input: the app's example house, 11.4 × 5.3 m with eaves at 4.5 m and a 6 m ridge. Both short walls are gables.
  • Settings: each system's default depth (for a system with length variants, its first variant in the picker), with the app's default project settings: no bottom decks and no platform toward the roof.
  • Scaffold area is the elevation area of the scaffold face on all four walls, in whole m². The per-m² and per-100 m² figures divide by it.
  • Parts are every piece in the app's parts list for the house: frames or standards, ledgers, decks, guardrails, toe boards, braces, wall ties, base jacks and access.
  • Decks are the deck rows of the parts list (decks, decks with ladder or hatch, and planks; not lift-off preventers or other deck accessories), so a system with narrow planks (HAKI Universal's aluminium planks) shows more deck units than one with wide decks.
  • Wall ties are the tie row of the parts list; couplers and anchors are not included in that figure.
  • Every system reaches 2 decked levels on the long walls of this house, so the decks compare like with like.

Limits

  • The number of wall ties follows the system's tie rule. Their positions must be checked against the manufacturer's assembly instructions.
  • Round corners, silos and hanging scaffolds are in Pro. A round scaffold is not a standard configuration and needs a calculation or the supplier's documentation. A hanging scaffold (Layher Allround and HAKI Universal) always needs a structural calculation from the supplier or an engineer.

Questions and answers

Why does a modular scaffold need more parts per m² than a frame scaffold?

A frame combines two standards and a transom in one piece, while a modular scaffold is built from separate standards, ledgers and transoms. On the reference house the median is 1.36 parts per m² for frame scaffolds and 2.72 for modular ones.

How many wall ties does a scaffold need per 100 m²?

On the reference house the median is 12.1 wall ties per 100 m² of scaffold face, from 6.0 to 20.2 across the systems. The real number follows the manufacturer's tie pattern, the height, any cladding and the wind; figures marked ≈ are estimates.

Can I use these numbers to price a job?

Only to compare systems. They come from one house with default settings. For a real job, plan your own walls and use that project's parts list, then check it against the manufacturer's instructions.
