In the world of construction, temporary works are the unsung heroes—unseen and often unrecognised, yet essential. Supporting a $100 billion global industry, they provide the foundation for every structure, only to vanish once the project is complete. Despite their crucial role, temporary works remain a significant blind spot in the industry’s technological advancements. Until now.
Temporary works are finally getting the innovation they deserve with ScaffPlan for SketchUp. Designed to be fast, simple, and accessible, ScaffPlan revolutionises how scaffolding and temporary works are designed and managed.
Temporary works come with inherent risks—shockingly, 35% of construction fatalities occur while working at height. Yet, many contractors still rely on outdated methods for planning and execution, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunications, and avoidable hazards.
How often do you receive a client call with minimal information? You take some photos, make rough estimates, and hope your proposal is both accurate and competitive. This inefficient process often results in project delays, increased costs, and heightened risks.
Imagine arriving on-site and, within minutes, creating a detailed 3D model of the work area. You design on the spot, giving your client a clear visual of the project. They leave confident in your ability to deliver, and you can share the model instantly with your design team. No more lost information, no miscommunication, and no need for repeat site visits.
Win More Work: Deliver stunning, detailed designs that leave a lasting impression.
Improve Safety: Identify hazards early and design solutions to mitigate risks.
Streamline Operations: From design to delivery, ScaffPlan optimises every stage of your project.
ScaffPlan transforms your project’s data into actionable insights. Engineering approvals are faster, project phases are clearly defined, and material lists are accurate. On-site teams have everything they need, exactly when they need it, eliminating delays caused by material shortages.
Additionally, ScaffPlan provides live 3D drawings and detailed instructions, enabling teams to work efficiently and safely. Workers can visualise the build sequence, foresee risks, and address potential issues before they arise.
Once a structure is installed and safety-checked, it’s at its safest. However, risks increase as other trades interact with the structure, often removing components or overloading it. ScaffPlan ensures everyone understands the design and purpose of the temporary works, reducing the risk of collapse.
For contractors, your materials are your most valuable asset. ScaffPlan’s tracking capabilities help you manage dismantling efficiently, reducing losses and preventing disputes with clients.
ScaffPlan for SketchUp isn’t just about better designs—it’s about transforming your entire business. By adopting this powerful tool, you’ll gain a competitive edge, reduce project risks, and boost profitability.
“You’re not just designing. You’re building a safer, smarter, and more profitable future for your business. Together, we can transform the way the world works.”
