The Northland region is growing at an exceedingly rapid pace, with a lot of people relocating from larger areas such as Auckland, new builds can be seen around almost every turn.

We are a bit bias here at Next Level Scaffolding and can confidently say that Northland is one of the most beautiful regions in New Zealand, so it is no wonder that so many are wanting to relocate here.

Scaffolding for a new build is essential to provide trade workers and construction companies a safe and secure solution needed to complete new homes efficiently.

Trained Scaffolders will follow a clear process on all job sites before any work should be carried out.

• Assess weather conditions – wind directions and temperature, lighting, wet weather conditions
• Ground conditions – uneven ground, hazards such as sharp objects, slippery working areas
• Liaise with builders and other trade workers around safe access and their needs to achieve their project
• Other hazards – animals loose, overhead powerlines, heavy lifting
• Toolbox meeting with the onsite crew – ensuring PPE (personal protective equipment) is used. Clear systematic and safe plan is shared to complete the scaffold
• Complete a JHA (job hazard analysis)
• Team work – open communication and understanding of works needing to be carried out

At times, scaffolding around a new build will need to be altered through different stages of the build. This is to allow movement of different materials that contractors may need to bring in, or because changes are being made to the existing plan of the build therefore the scaffold needs to change with it.

The cost involved with alterations and weekly scaffold hire for a new build can be costly, due to the length of time it is needing to stay erected as well as ongoing work being done when an alteration is needed. This is why it is essential you hire a scaffolding company you can trust and that exhibits ongoing communication on timeframes with understanding of their clients needs.
