The construction, reconstruction and repair of buildings with two or more floors requires responsibility, reliability and safety on the part of the builders. The demands are often increased by the magnitude of the infrastructure and the complexity of the work.

Those responsible for an architectural or engineering project must provide all the necessary elements to ensure both the completion of the work and the protection of the workforce.

In this context, scaffolding is one of the most useful and versatile tools on sites exceeding two stories. Project managers must evaluate the number of parts, the type of scaffolding chosen and the protections for the personnel who will move along them.

You have probably seen more than one scaffold in your life, but knowing the definition of the concept will help you begin to understand the dimensions and uses of this piece.

A scaffold is a structure that is temporarily mounted on the outside or inside of a building to facilitate work at height. It can be attached to the walls of a construction site or hung from the ceiling to guarantee its stability, or it can be a mobile frame if it has wheels or is foldable. The materials of the skeleton, the design sought and the model of the parts to assemble the casing vary considerably depending on the type of project. There is a wide variety of products and materials to build frames.
