Scaffold Studio: Cutting Build Times in Half and Maximizing ROI
Mark Corkery, CEO of Scaffold Studio, saw an opportunity to revolutionize scaffolding. By integrating 3D scanning into their workflow, his team didn’t just improve efficiency—they redefined what’s possible in scaffolding design.
💰 50% reduction in installation time—6 weeks down to just 3
🚀 Eliminated costly rework—precision planning means no surprises
📏 100% accuracy—millimetre-perfect digital twins replace outdated blueprints
📈 8:1 ROI—clients see immediate returns with optimized project execution
"Before, we were working off outdated drawings, making best guesses, and hoping for the best. Now, we create millimetre-perfect digital twins that eliminate uncertainty before scaffolding even begins." For years, the industry standard relied on aging PDF plans and rough estimates. The problem? No building is ever exactly as drawn. The result? Wasted time, material miscalculations, and frustrating delays.
"Every time we relied on 2D plans alone, we were gambling. Now, we have absolute certainty—and that changes everything."
Revolutionizing Scaffolding with 3D Scanning
By leveraging the Trimble X7 3D scanner, Scaffold Studio transformed their approach. Instead of working with outdated data, they now scan entire structures, capturing every contour and dimension with pinpoint accuracy. This shift has:
✔ Cut scaffolding installation time in half—projects move twice as fast
✔ Eliminated design inconsistencies before they become costly mistakes
✔ Empowered scaffolders with interactive 3D models on-site for real-time precision
"Now, scaffolders can pull up a live 3D model on their phone, zoom in, measure exact distances, and execute flawlessly. It’s a total game-changer."
8:1 ROI—The Results Speak for Themselves
🔹 Faster, more efficient scaffolding installations—zero guesswork, zero wasted time
🔹 Scaffolders empowered with data-driven precision, not just instinct
🔹 Clients winning more projects thanks to superior planning and execution
"This project had been stuck in limbo for over three years due to stakeholder concerns. Two meetings with our 3D model, and we had full approval to proceed."
Looking Ahead: The Future of Smarter Scaffolding
Scaffold Studio is leading the charge into the future of scaffolding, proving that technology-driven solutions deliver unmatched results.
"We saved our client an 8-to-1 return on investment. The old way is officially obsolete."
