7 Advantages of Using Scaffolding for
Construction

Introduction

• Scaffolding is an integral part of the
  construction industry and makes life easier for
  workers. In spite of being around for a long
  time, it remains a valuable and life-saving
  structure for workers regardless of the size of
  the construction.
• Safety apart, scaffolding also makes the task of
  construction easier. You could be a construction
  firm building large commercial structures or a
  small builder constructing homes, scaffolding is
  a must and makes life easy for you.
• It also bears mentioning that it also quickens
  the pace of construction which can help a firm
  beat tight deadlines.
• In keeping with that, here we look seven
  advantages of using scaffolds when building,
  renovating or repairing any structure.

7 Advantages of Using Scaffolding for
Construction
1. Enables easy access
Construction, along with the various other
activities it involves, becomes a whole lot
tougher if access to any part is absent or
limited. This is a major conundrum addressed by
scaffolding as it allows unhindered access to any
part of the structure. This is immensely useful
when the said structure is a tall building and
where support is important.
2. Provides perfect balance
In addition to accessibility, the other advantage
of scaffolding is the balance. There are a lot of
precision tasks in construction that require
workers to be at their deftest. That is only
possible when a worker is put on a firm footing,
which is something that scaffolding does
brilliantly.

3. Ensures safety
Safety is among the top advantages of scaffolding
in construction and few would argue against it.
Depending upon the task at hand, construction
workers might be required to work at dizzying
heights (100 feet or more). The exact height of
the scaffolding is a function of the number of
floors a building has. With scaffolding, workers
are ensured a safe working surface.
4. Boosts productivity
One of the less apparent advantages of
scaffolding is an increase in overall
productivity. This is a direct benefit of the
greater efficiency that results from the
increased safety and access that are provided by
scaffolds.

5. Offers easy assembly dismantling
Contrary to popular perception, assembling and
dismantling scaffolding does not take time. In
fact, they are simple to assemble and disassemble
and save a lot of time. For builders, who are
forever battling construction deadlines, anything
that can save time is more than
welcome. Scaffolding firms do just that by taking
the least amount of time to put up and take down
scaffolds.
6. Acts a bridge
Construction involves a number of activities
where workers might need to take a long and
winding route to access a certain point. This is
a huge waste of time and makes workers
unnecessarily tired as well. Scaffolding works
around this problem by offering numerous bridging
points which significantly reduce the distance
that workers need to cover.

7. Lasts for a long time
Scaffolds last for a long time, like really long.
While wooden scaffold is slowly going out of
fashion, they too can last for a really long
time. Steel, however, is the clear winner when it
comes to lifespan. The more important thing here
is that it manages to last long while also
offering a high level of security.
