When you need scaffolding to do a job don’t think of it as a DIY job. If you need scaffolding you’ll need to contact a scaffolding hire company. If you do it yourself, you may find that you will become liable for any problems or issues that arise.
A good place to start looking for a hire company is your Local Council or authority. They may have a list of approved hire companies and you will need to contact them to find out. Remember – your Local Authority will not be able to recommend a particular company as such, but you should be able to make sure that it is am approved company.

In this way you can help to make sure that you employ a qualified builder or scaffolding company to carry out the erection of scaffolding. Again, as working off scaffolding can be a hazardous occupation, leave any building work to the professionals and a qualified builder to do any related building work.

Scaffolding licences

Your scaffolding may need a license. It is the responsibility of the builder or scaffolding Hire Company to get a licence for any scaffolding that is put up on the highway (this includes the pavement). However, you need to be clear that it is your responsibility to check they have this and that it does not run out before the building work is finished.

You can always contact your local authority to apply for more information as to if you need a license and what to do about this.

Safety

Safety is of prime importance when erecting or using scaffolding. Employing qualified people to erect your scaffolding and carry out building work should help to make sure your building site is a safe place. However you should discuss safety issues with the person or company you employ. In particular, you will need to be aware of the following points:

- Scaffolding should always be erected on a firm, level foundation.

- If there is any risk to the public, schedule scaffolding work for quiet times or get a highway closure your local council.

- It is dangerous to erect scaffolding too near power lines. Your local power company can temporally move or protect cables but you will need to organise this well in advance.

- All scaffold boards used should be British Standard BS2482.

- There must be suitably strong barriers in place if someone could fall more than two metres.

- in order to avoid building waste falling on passers-by, keep scaffold boards clear and provide protective catch netting if necessary.

- Ladders should be strong, secure and in good condition, domestic ladders are generally not suitable. Make sure that they are long enough and securely fixed for safety’s sake!

Heavy or bulky loads shouldn’t be carried up and down ladders. Make sure a hoist is available for heavy or large awkward loads.

Make sure that scaffolding structures are checked weekly, and inspected after alterations, damage and extreme weather conditions. Make sure that it is recorded that you have an appointed person responsible for doing this – even if it is you.

Components should never be removed out of position for any reason whatsoever. Even on a temporary basis.

Building Regulations

it is always wise to contact your local council for details of any building regulations you may need to consider, like the ‘materials and workmanship’ regulation or the ‘access to and use of building’ regulation. Copies of the current building regulations are available from Building Regulations Publications HMSO.

You also need to make sure you have any necessary planning permission for the building project your scaffolding relates to. Again your local council will be able to advise you on this.

Remember – when it comes to scaffolding – safety first, last and always!

3. Construction Home Loan – A Flexible Option For Financing – by

Building a new home can bring the prospective homeowners significant worries about the process of two separate loans. However, a construction home loan can provide a flexible option for financing a new residence. Construction home loan has been termed “story loan”. In other words, the lender would like to know everything about the planned construction before the loan will be made. Because a construction loan is a “story loan”, it is not subject to standards like a mortgage loan underwritten by federal agencies and guidelines. Even so, any construction loan, which bears a variable rate tied to a spread based on the prime rate or other short-term interest rate, during the building will typically require payments which are interest-only. It then becomes “due upon completion”. For the homeowner, “completion” will mean that the home received its occupancy certificate from the local city or county. The buyer, the lender and the contractor set up a schedule which is based on the construction stages. Interest will be charged on the sum of money disbursed according to the schedule. If the buyer owns the land, it can be considered equity for the construction loans. This can determine how much the lender is willing to lend. Construction home loan makes a flexible option for financing for people who are: * Building homes from the ground up and need construction financing * First-time homebuyers or purchasers seeking to buy new construction * Buying a lot for future building or a newly built home from a developer * Builders who want to recommend a preferred lender to homebuyers Lenders who specialize in construction loans emphasize that the process can provide: * Simplicity with one application, one appraisal and one approval process. * Convenience to buy the land, close a construction loan and secure permanent financing all in one day. When construction is finished, buyers have an option to change the loan amount or even a different loan type. * Stability in locking in loan pricing during new home construction for a specified period. * Flexibility in choosing fixed – or adjustable – rate loans. * Increased purchasing power, with the option or making interest-only payments during the construction period.

Scaffolding services in South Africa have become an increasing necessity in the transformation of the country into a first world entity with a thriving infrastructure of impressive buildings, busy freeways, massive sports stadiums and world-leading industry. Scaffolding services are required for a variety of projects taking place on a daily basis in South Africa. Quality products and experienced scaffolding service providers are becoming sought after in the wake of rapid growth and construction taking place in the country. Many providers of scaffolding services in South Africa use scaffolding systems such as Metri-Form formwork systems, Self-Lock towers and Kwik-stage systems. These scaffolding systems provide contractors with a lot of benefits due to their increased safety, easy assembly and dismantling and lesser need for manpower. These systems lower construction costs due to the decreased amount of manpower and time needed in their use. Construction scaffolding and formwork Scaffolding and formwork is a key element of the construction industry. With the use of scaffolding and formwork, incredible structures with modern and complex architecture are able to be constructed. Scaffolding is used to create the support for formwork to be completed in building construction, as the scaffolding provides a medium for the concrete of the formwork to set. Scaffolding services are also used as a support structures for workers to access parts of the building which are difficult and dangerous to reach, such as alongside buildings at extremely high elevations. The FIFA 2010 World Cup tournament is being hosted by South Africa next year, and has brought much transformation for the country. Where previously central business districts of major cities have been left looking unsightly due to negect and improper maintenance, scaffolding services in South Africa have been used by restoration companies and builders to improve the conditions of the buildings in these areas. This will provide a more aesthetic view of the CBDs and scaffolding has been used extensively in the renovations. Many new buildings have been erected to cope with the influx of people for the tournament, including the impressive sports stadiums in major cities which will be used for the football games in the World Cup and the Gautrain, an underground railway system for public transportation. These structures have required an immense amount of scaffolding and formwork in their construction. Special Events Scaffolding Scaffolding services in South Africa have become widely used in special events such as marathons, rock concerts and public engagements. Scaffolding can be used to create stages for these special events which are safe for use in performances and prize givings. Commentary towers are often required in sports events where commentators and judges need to have a very clear view of the action. Additionally commentary towers enable speakers and screens to be elevated so that those attending these events can see and hear what™s going on. Scaffolding is also used to create signage towers for use in special events, allowing the use of large banners for advertising and displaying sponsorship logos. This is an important part of special events as advertising generates much capital for these events. High towers can also be used as camera towers for film crews and television stations to report and film the special events. Scaffold towers provide a stable temporary structure for the use of cameras. Special events also require seating in some instances. Scaffolding services in South Africa can be hired to construct seating stands for spectators which are not only large enough to cope with the crowds, but safe enough to support the weight of thousands of people watching the event. Spectators may need to cross busy roads and highways to access a special event. Access scaffolding built as bridges over roads provides a means for spectators to cross dangerous routes to the special event without having to come into contact with traffic or other dangers. Scaffolding in the film industry South Africa has become a favourite location of film makers to produce motion pictures due to the large range of scenery available, the good weather and low production costs. Scaffolding services in South Africa allow film makers to save time and money in productions and have thus become widely used on film sets in South Africa. Mobile tower scaffolds are easy to move and kwik-stage scaffolds are suitable for use on uneven terrain which is often experienced at film locations. Time is money on film sets, and often they have to work with the elements if they are filming outdoors. This requires that the assembly of scaffolds is quick and easy. Scaffolding Services in South Africa are a vital part of the country’s transformation into a first world country. Whether used to create formwork, to renovate buildings, to provide access ramps, stages, signage towers and temporary structures for important events, for use on film sets and to help with the immense preparations for the FIFA 2010 World Cup tournament, scaffolding is a necessity. With the versatile use of scaffolding, the true potential of South Africa can be reached.

An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65 percent of the construction industry, work on scaffolds frequently. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents may prevent some of the 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year, which cost employers £90 million in workdays lost. In a recent BLS study, 72 percent of workers injured in scaffold accidents attributed the accident either to the planking or support giving way, or to the employee slipping or being struck by a falling object.

There are lawyers that are very experienced in scaffolding and understand the rules and regulations that are applied to them. If you find you’re the one of the many that has had a scaffolding injury, then you should seek legal aid as soon as possible. The lawyers will sometimes evaluate your case for free and tell you if you are justified in suing the company.

Base plates and mud sills are required on scaffolding. The surface where the mud sills are placed must be capable of keeping the scaffolding in place. Another essential component is the scaffold ties. After the first tie is attached properly, then subsequent ties should be attached safely. The height of these subsequent ties should not be more than twenty-six feet. You must also put ties at horizontal intervals, which doesn’t exceed thirty feet, and all ties should be able to stand up to a push or pull of 2500 pounds of weight.

When you need scaffolding to do a job don’t think of it as a DIY job. If you need scaffolding you’ll need to contact a scaffolding hire company. If you do it yourself, you may find that you will become liable for any problems or issues that arise. A good place to start looking for a hire company is your Local Council or authority. They may have a list of approved hire companies and you will need to contact them to find out. Remember ? your Local Authority will not be able to recommend a particular company as such, but you should be able to make sure that it is am approved company. In this way you can help to make sure that you employ a qualified builder or scaffolding company to carry out the erection of scaffolding. Again, as working off scaffolding can be a hazardous occupation, leave any building work to the professionals and a qualified builder to do any related building work. Scaffolding licences Your scaffolding may need a license. It is the responsibility of the builder or scaffolding Hire Company to get a licence for any scaffolding that is put up on the highway (this includes the pavement). However, you need to be clear that it is your responsibility to check they have this and that it does not run out before the building work is finished. You can always contact your local authority to apply for more information as to if you need a license and what to do about this. Safety Safety is of prime importance when erecting or using scaffolding. Employing qualified people to erect your scaffolding and carry out building work should help to make sure your building site is a safe place. However you should discuss safety issues with the person or company you employ. In particular, you will need to be aware of the following points: – Scaffolding should always be erected on a firm, level foundation. – If there is any risk to the public, schedule scaffolding work for quiet times or get a highway closure your local council. – It is dangerous to erect scaffolding too near power lines. Your local power company can temporally move or protect cables but you will need to organise this well in advance. – All scaffold boards used should be British Standard BS2482. – There must be suitably strong barriers in place if someone could fall more than two metres. – in order to avoid building waste falling on passers-by, keep scaffold boards clear and provide protective catch netting if necessary. – Ladders should be strong, secure and in good condition, domestic ladders are generally not suitable. Make sure that they are long enough and securely fixed for safety’s sake! Heavy or bulky loads shouldn’t be carried up and down ladders. Make sure a hoist is available for heavy or large awkward loads. Make sure that scaffolding structures are checked weekly, and inspected after alterations, damage and extreme weather conditions. Make sure that it is recorded that you have an appointed person responsible for doing this ? even if it is you. Components should never be removed out of position for any reason whatsoever. Even on a temporary basis. Building regulations it is always wise to contact your local council for details of any building regulations you may need to consider, like the ‘materials and workmanship’ regulation or the ‘access to and use of building’ regulation. Copies of the current building regulations are available from Building Regulations Publications HMSO. You also need to make sure you have any necessary planning permission for the building project your scaffolding relates to. Again your local council will be able to advise you on this. Remember ? when it comes to scaffolding ? safety first, last and always!

An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65 percent of the construction industry, work on scaffolds frequently. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents may prevent some of the 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year, which cost employers £90 million in workdays lost. In a recent BLS study, 72 percent of workers injured in scaffold accidents attributed the accident either to the planking or support giving way, or to the employee slipping or being struck by a falling object.

There are lawyers that are very experienced in scaffolding and understand the rules and regulations that are applied to them. If you find you’re the one of the many that has had a scaffolding injury, then you should seek legal aid as soon as possible. The lawyers will sometimes evaluate your case for free and tell you if you are justified in suing the company.

Base plates and mud sills are required on scaffolding. The surface where the mud sills are placed must be capable of keeping the scaffolding in place. Another essential component is the scaffold ties. After the first tie is attached properly, then subsequent ties should be attached safely. The height of these subsequent ties should not be more than twenty-six feet. You must also put ties at horizontal intervals, which doesn’t exceed thirty feet, and all ties should be able to stand up to a push or pull of 2500 pounds of weight.
