BrandSafway systems compared head to head

Every pair of BrandSafway systems in the ScaFix catalogue: which bay lengths and depths they share, which only one of them has, and what the planning engine counts for each on the same example house, parts group by parts group.

How do the BrandSafway systems differ?

ScaFix has 2 BrandSafway systems: BrandSafway SafLock and Safway Systems Scaffold. On the same example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m), Safway Systems Scaffold needs 541 parts and BrandSafway SafLock 689. The two systems share no bay length, so their bay grids differ.

Pair by pair: bay lengths and depths

Each pair of BrandSafway systems, from the catalogue the engine plans with. «Only in» lists the bay lengths one system has and the other lacks; the last column is the parts total of each on the example house.

Parts group by group on the same house

Each BrandSafway system planned on ScaFix’s example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m) with the default settings. The rows are the groups of the app’s parts list; «–» means the system has no part in that group. How the example is set up is on the methodology page.

Questions and answers

Can I mix parts from two BrandSafway systems in ScaFix?

No. ScaFix plans each wall with one system’s own parts and never mixes systems in a parts list. Whether two systems of one maker may be combined on site is for BrandSafway’s instructions to say. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Why do the parts totals of the BrandSafway systems differ?

A wall is filled with each system’s own bay lengths, so a shorter bay means more bays, standards and ledgers; the depth changes the transoms and decks, and frame systems count frames where modular systems count standards and ledgers. The totals say nothing about price or load class.
