Seem to do a reasonable job. Cost was approx $10k for a two story house for five weeks. Re: Scaffolding Recommendations - Sydney 3Apr 16, 2011 12:00 am Hi, I used ??? scaffolding (cant find the business cards they left). I had approx 70 lineal metres at 6m high. Was significantly less than 10k. Call Freddie on 0410606971. If I find the card i will post the business name as Freddie can be hard to catch on the phone. Tell him Shane from lithgow referred you.

Remember as an owner builder you are the principal contractor so are liable if there are any stuff ups so make sure they are reputable.

Scav tags and white cards from a reputable company so all good from my end. I had a quote that was 40% higher than what i paid. i suspect most of the time it is an ebb and tide thing with how much work (and therefore scaffold) they have. Remember too that i am 2hrs from Sydney. So mine included travel. And included three or four level changes. BTW I am aware of my obligations as an OB, and operate a safe site. Re: Scaffolding Recommendations - Sydney 6Apr 18, 2011 12:10 pm Ummm... bit late guys - but thanks anyway! I got 4 quotes & we ended up going with Trojan - They are very professional & really worked to get us a good quote. Very variable quotes though - up to $14,000 (our quote is much lower - judging by your feedback we got a good price, so that is reassuring ).
