How much does scaffolding cost in Auckland NZ?

Scaffolding can cost anything from $60 a day to $400+ per day, depending mainly on the size of the project, the height, the length of time you need it, whether your project requires public access restriction, and ease of access on site; how quickly & efficiently we can get the frame up.

 

How do you calculate scaffolding rates?

Scaffolding is calculated in cubic meters. For example you may have a job where you need 3 areas of scaffolding.

1) Area A

Length = 6m , Width = 5m , Height =7m

Volume will become = 6x5x7=210 m3

2) Area B

Length = 4m , Width = 5m , Height =3m

Volume will become = 4x5x3=60 m3

3) Area C

Length = 8m , Width = 3m , Height =5m

Volume will become = 8x3x5=120 m3

Now add A,B,C.. 210 m3 + 60 m3 + 120 m3 = 390 m3

To give you total volume of 390 m3

NOW GET THE RATE PER CUBIC METER

Scaffolding rates vary depending on length of time required how much is required, etc, but let’s say 1 m3 scaffolding will cost = $20

Total Scaffolding cost for our project will become

= 390m3 x $20 = $7800

How much does it cost to scaffold a 2 story house?

Again, it depends on many factors including, size of project, height, and ease of access. But an average two story house in Auckland might cost anywhere between $xxx - $xxx for x weeks including delivery, installation and dismantling, then $xxx p/week for any additional weeks.

 

How long does it take to put up scaffolding?

Again, it depends on many factors including, size of project, height, and ease of access. Erecting scaffolding for a single story house in Auckland with easy access might take approximately 3 hours for a team of two scaffolders.
