Specification
ScaffoldOptix, in full
ScaffoldOptix is built specifically for UK scaffolding contractors — 3D design, handovers, seven-day inspections, adaptations and the records behind them — not as a module inside a wider construction or estimating platform.
Everything below is drawn from what's actually published on this site — ScaffoldOptix's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and product pages — rather than aspirational claims. Where ScaffoldOptix doesn't yet publish or offer something, that's stated plainly rather than glossed over.
Scope
What ScaffoldOptix covers
- Scaffolding contractors erecting, adapting, inspecting and dismantling access scaffolds
- 3D modelling of scaffold configurations, with design drawings and elevations as output
- Recording the TG20 compliance sheet or bespoke design a structure was built to
- Handover certificates and tag status held against each structure
- Statutory inspection records — seven-day, post-alteration and post-weather
- CISRS card, medical and training expiry tracking for operatives
- Squad and vehicle scheduling across live contracts
What it doesn't cover
- Producing bespoke scaffold designs or structural calculations for configurations outside a compliance sheet — those remain the work of a competent designer, recorded here rather than generated
- Estimating, procurement, invoicing, hire billing or accounting
- Programme/Gantt-chart project management, CAD authoring or BIM tools
Features
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
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 & Tags
The handover certificate and the tag agree, because they share a record.
- Handover certificates raised from the design, signed on site
- Tag 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
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
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
Benefits
01
One license, all 9 modules included — no per-seat pricing to negotiate
02
Structures modelled in 3D, with the drawing available to the squad building them rather than sitting in a CAD file
03
The compliance sheet or bespoke design a structure was built to recorded against the structure itself
04
Seven-day inspection dates tracked per structure, with the reminder raised before the inspection falls due
05
Handover certificate and tag status held on one record, so what is on the scaffold and what is in the system agree
06
Adaptations logged against the original design, giving a history of the structure rather than a single snapshot
07
CISRS cards, medicals and training expiry tracked per operative, with alerts before they lapse
08
Client and inspector reports built from records squads already enter — no separate reporting workflow
09
Product updates and secure cloud storage included in the license price, not billed separately

Regulatory alignment
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.
A note on this page
This page describes ScaffoldOptix as published on this site as of September 2026. It's written in the same level of detail as a formal service specification so that principal contractors and clients evaluating ScaffoldOptix alongside other platforms have a straight answer either way — including where the honest answer is "not currently offered." Get in touch if you need something confirmed in writing, or if a specific certification, SLA or integration is a hard requirement for your organisation: hello@scaffoldoptix.co.uk.
