For those with two storey houses, how much did you spend/budget for scaffolding? We are building a brick veneer two storey house with roof tiles. I've heard it can cost 10s of thousands of dollars
How much did it/is it going to cost you?

I got quotes ranging from $8800 for 4 weeks, $450 per week afterwards to $4500 for 4 weeks and $250 after. This was all up for two town houses. I ended using it for at least 2 months but the guy didn't charge me any extra, offered to pay him cash instead lol. Also a few tips that should save you some time and money. - make sure you have all your trades available as 4 weeks is not alot of time (Roof, gutter, chippy(eaves) and bricky) - get your fasia/gutter and roofers up there at the same time, saves you getting the roof scaffold. Talk to them to make sure they are ok with using the main scaffold, these days they build it with additional fall protection so it should be ok. - if you have eaves, get up there and paint them. I used exterior paint(solarguard type) so when the brick cleaner came the paint didn't wash off with the acid - if you are doing bricks, get a brick cleaner up there to clean the second storey with the scaffold (Cheaper and easier for him) Good luck. Ask for some kickplate to be added and also for tradies to be requested to use lanyards on tools on that side of the building.
