Built so a Contracts Manager can see which scaffolds are due an inspection this week. Not ring round three sites to find out.

The ScaffoldOptix team

Platform

One record, nine modules. 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 No copying between systems, no drawing that is slightly out of date.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, check the bay lengths and tie pattern as you go, and send the squad out with a drawing rather than a description.

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

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
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

Seven-day inspections remembered by whoever happens to be on site

With ScaffoldOptix

Next inspection date tracked per structure, with the reminder before it falls due

Today, without a system

Adaptations done on the nod, with the original design left as the only record

With ScaffoldOptix

Every adaptation logged against the design, so the history is the structure's own

Today, without a system

CISRS cards tracked in a spreadsheet — until one expires mid-contract

With ScaffoldOptix

Card and medical expiry tracked per operative, with alerts before they lapse

How it works

From kick-off to live, in four steps. We handle the rollout so your team can focus on the jobs, not the setup.

  1. 01

    Kick-off

    We walk through the rollout plan together, so your team knows exactly what to expect and when.

  2. 02

    Discovery

    We look at your live contracts, your current drawings and records, and how the yard actually runs, so the platform is set up to match it.

  3. 03

    Configure

    We set up your contracts, squads, roles and permissions, and load your standard scaffold configurations, so it is ready from day one.

  4. 04

    Train & deploy

    We train your team, run final readiness checks, and support you through your first weeks live.

Built the right way

Built around what TG20 and SG4 actually require. Designed around TG20 and SG4, and the records a client or an inspector actually asks to see.

Built around TG20 and SG4
Structures recorded against the compliance sheet or bespoke design they were built to.
Seven-day inspections, tracked
Inspection records structured around what a client or an inspector actually asks to see.
GDPR-conscious by design
Role-based access keeps operative records need-to-know, not open to the whole yard.
Role-based access, built in
From Scaffolder to Contracts Manager — permissions that match how a firm is actually run.

Questions

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

Does 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 license. Email support is included at no extra cost for as long as your subscription is active.
