ScaffEngine — a design, drawn and priced

Cloud-based infrastructure for scaffolding contractors.

Every job, design, inspection and handover runs from one live dashboard, so your team spends less time on paperwork and more time on site. Cut admin, make faster calls and know what needs attention today, from any device.

Platform

One record, ten features. Model it once and the design, the handover and the inspection all read from the same structure. No copying between systems, no drawing that is slightly out of date.

Model it before you load the wagon. Build the scaffold in 3D in ScaffEngine, check the bay lengths and tie pattern as you go, and send the squad out with a drawing rather than a description.

ScaffEngine

The 3D builder. Model the scaffold before anyone leaves the yard.

  • Drag standards, ledgers and transoms into place on a 3D model of the job
  • Bay lengths, lift heights and tie patterns checked as you build
  • Design drawings and elevations exported straight from the model

Compliance Sheets

Say which design the scaffold was built to, and prove it.

  • Record the TG20 compliance sheet or bespoke design behind every structure
  • Flag structures that fall outside compliant configurations for design sign-off
  • Load class, cladding and duty held against the structure, not in an inbox
Plan view at 1:100, dimensioned off the model

The price comes out of the drawing. The material list the model produced is what the quote is priced from, so what you quoted and what the yard loads are the same list.

Quotes

Price the job off the model that was drawn, not a guess.

  • Quote lines priced straight off the material list the model produced
  • Sell rates held on a rate card, with VAT set and frozen on the quote itself
  • A line the system cannot price says so, and blocks the quote until it is set

Every contract, every squad, one screen. Contracts, structures and the schedule share a record, so an off-hire date shows up everywhere it matters without being typed twice.

Contracts

A live register of every job on the books.

  • Client, site address, structures and hire period in one place
  • On-hire, off-hire and dismantle dates tracked against each contract
  • Role-based visibility, so squads only see the jobs they work on

Scheduling

Put the right squad on the right job.

  • Squad and vehicle scheduling without a whiteboard in the yard
  • Erect, adapt, inspect and dismantle visits on one calendar
  • Clashes and unassigned visits surfaced before the week starts

Handovers and inspections that stay current. The certificate, the tag and the seven-day inspection all hang off the same structure — so what is on the scaffold and what is in the system agree.

Handovers & Tags

The handover certificate and the tag agree, because they share a record.

  • Handover certificates raised from the design, signed on site
  • Scafftag status per structure — do not use, incomplete, safe to use
  • Client signature, date and load class captured at handover

Inspections

Seven-day inspections that actually get recorded.

  • Next inspection date tracked per structure, with the reminder before it falls due
  • Inspection reports completed on site, with photographs attached
  • Post-alteration and post-weather inspections logged against the same structure

Adaptations

Every change to a structure, on the record.

  • Variations and adaptations logged against the original design
  • Unauthorised alterations flagged at the next inspection
  • A history of what the scaffold looked like on any given date

Nobody on a lift without the card. CISRS cards, medicals and training tracked against each operative, with the alert raised before the expiry, not after.

Operatives & Cards

Nobody on a lift without the card to be there.

  • CISRS card type and expiry tracked against each operative
  • Alerts before a card, medical or training certificate lapses
  • Squad make-up recorded on every visit, so you know who built what

Ready for the question before it is asked. Overdue inspections, expiring cards and client reports built from what squads already entered — nothing re-keyed on the day.

Reports

Everything a client or an inspector asks for, ready to export.

  • Inspection and handover roll-ups across every contract
  • Overdue inspections and expiring cards in one view
  • Built from the same records squads already enter — nothing re-keyed
Modules

One platform, one record. Each module is its own product and they all write to the same records, so nothing is typed twice.

  • Ops

    The job: quotes, scaffolds, inspections, handovers and the records behind them.

  • PDA

    Forms built once and filled in on a handheld, out on the job.

Why switch

Stop running the yard on CAD files, a whiteboard and a folder of tags. The gaps that cause missed inspections, stale drawings and tags nobody updated — closed.

Today, without a system

Designs drawn up in CAD by one person, and nowhere near the job when it changes

With ScaffoldOptix

Every structure modelled in 3D, with the drawing on the phone of the squad building it

Today, without a system

Handover certificates in a folder, scafftags on the scaffold, and no way to tell if they agree

With ScaffoldOptix

Tag status and handover certificate hang off the same structure record

Today, without a system

How it works

Try it on your own jobs, then decide. 14 days, no card and no sales call. Set it up, ask us whatever you need to, and pay only if you are keeping it.

  1. 01

    Try for free

    Start a 14-day trial with no card and no sales call. You are inside the real product, on your own tenant, in a couple of minutes.

  2. 02

    Configure

    Load your contracts, squads, roles and standard scaffold configurations, so what you are trying is your yard rather than a sample one.

  3. 03

    Ask us anything

    We answer while the trial is running, not after you have signed. If something is missing we will tell you it is missing.

  4. 04

    Pay to keep it

    Add a card and everything you set up stays exactly as it is. Do nothing and it closes itself on day 14 — there is nothing to cancel.

Questions

Before you ask, the honest answers. Pricing, data retention and what happens if you leave — the questions people actually ask before signing up.

Is ScaffoldOptix design software, or management software?

Both, and the two are the same record. ScaffEngine designs and prices the scaffold; the job, the handover certificate and every subsequent inspection hang off that same design rather than living in a separate system. What makes it a compliance platform is that a scaffold's inspection history is attached to the thing that was actually built, so a handover or an HSE question starts from a record rather than a search. If you are comparing it with a standalone design tool, the honest difference is everything that happens after the drawing — the Service Specification sets out exactly what is and is not included.

Does ScaffEngine, the 3D builder, replace a scaffold designer?

No — and it does not claim to. It builds and documents configurations, checks them against the compliance sheet you select, and flags anything that falls outside a compliant configuration so it goes to a designer. Structures outside TG20 compliance still need a bespoke design from a competent person; ScaffoldOptix records that design against the structure rather than producing it.

Who owns the designs and records we put into ScaffoldOptix?

You do, outright — 3D models, drawings, handover certificates, inspection reports, operative records, everything. We process it strictly on your instructions to run the platform, never use it for our own purposes, and never sell it. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.

How long do you keep our records?

For as long as your business needs them — ScaffoldOptix never automatically deletes records, and retention isn't tied to whether your subscription is active. Your company is the data controller and sets its own retention periods; inspection and handover records are commonly kept for the life of the contract plus the period your insurer and client contracts require, so check those rather than relying on a default.

Is ScaffoldOptix GDPR compliant?

ScaffoldOptix is built around UK GDPR principles — encryption in transit, role-based access control, and appropriate safeguards for where data is hosted. Your company is the data controller for operative records and remains responsible for its own compliance; we act as processor under a data processing agreement. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

You can export your records at any time while your account is active — designs, handover certificates, inspection reports and operative records, in a standard format. We'd encourage doing that before your subscription ends. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the detail.

Can we cancel anytime?

Yes — cancel automatic renewal at any time before your renewal date and you won't be charged again. Because a Subscription Term gives full access from day one, fees already paid aren't refunded for cancelling partway through — see our Refund Policy for the full terms.

Is support included?

Yes, with an active licence. Email support is included at no extra cost for as long as your subscription is active.
