New build developments need scaffolding that keeps pace with the build schedule and gives every trade safe, easy access from the ground up. Our recent project in Nayland, Suffolk involved providing the first lift and a series of birdcage scaffolds for a plot of five stylish new homes—each with its own layout and construction challenges.
Tailored Access for Multiple Plots
With five properties going up side by side, efficiency and safety were top priorities. Our team designed a scaffold plan that allowed bricklayers, roofers and follow-on trades to work simultaneously without compromising stability. The first lift created a continuous working platform around each house, while internal birdcage scaffolds gave secure access to the interior spaces for joist and ceiling work.
Key Features of the Setup
- First Lift Perimeter Scaffold – Built to exact heights for brickwork and blockwork, ensuring a strong base for future lifts as the builds progress.
- Internal Birdcages – Free-standing internal structures providing safe access to ceilings and upper floors without relying on external walls.
- Staggered Installation – Erected in a carefully planned sequence so each plot could progress at its own pace while keeping materials and workers moving smoothly.
- Safety & Compliance – Full edge protection, toe boards, and regular inspections to meet all current UK scaffolding regulations.
Supporting a Fast-Moving Development
By coordinating closely with the site manager, we kept each phase of the scaffold installation aligned with the builders’ timetable. This meant minimal downtime and seamless handovers between trades, helping the project stay on track for completion.
