What should be in a scaffolding subcontract scope of works?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A scaffolding subcontract scope of works should include the type of scaffolding, site access details, installation and dismantling timelines, safety requirements, and responsibilities for inspections. Also cover any specific load requirements and compliance with local regulations.
Key points
- Type of scaffolding required
- Installation and dismantling timelines
- Safety and inspection responsibilities
- Compliance with local regulations
Make sure the scope is clear on what scaffolding is needed for the job. Include timelines for when it needs to be up and down. Safety's a big deal, so outline all inspection responsibilities and any specific load ratings. Check local regs to avoid compliance issues later.
