NEW3D Builder — model the scaffold before anyone leaves the yard

ScaffoldOptix

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.
