Why does scaffolding win by default? Discover how Mastclimbers offer safer, faster, and more cost-effective solutions for construction projects.
Scaffolding remains the default choice in many construction tenders, not because it’s always the best solution, but because of habit. Traditional tendering processes choose scaffolding without proper evaluation, making alternative solutions seem unfamiliar or risky.
But true competition requires fair assessment and not automatic preference.
Mastclimbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) offer faster project timelines, better safety and bigger cost savings. At BFT Mastclimbing we help businesses transition seamlessly to more efficient access solutions, confidently helping businesses break the habit.
“We’ve always done it this way.” But is that reason enough? Sticking to outdated methods limits project potential.
New methods can feel risky, but lack of change and evolution is riskier. Companies resisting innovation fall behind in an increasingly competitive market.
With scaffolding dominating 80% of the access market, many decision-makers have never worked with MCWPs, leading to hesitation in tenders.
Long standing supplier deals and relationships create an unspoken bias in procurement. If Mastcimbers were given the same evaluation, how often would scaffolding still win?
When Mastclimbers are engaged from the early planning stages, they significantly improve operational efficiency. Traditional scaffolding, on the other hand, comes with hidden inefficiencies that slow projects down.
Scaffolding can take weeks to effect and dismantle, with high labour costs. MCWPs are operational in just a few days, requiring fewer components and a smaller workforce.
In 2023 alone:
Mastclimbing reduces manual handling risks and eliminate a need for ladders, cutting down injury rates and lost time.
Scaffolding appears to provide full access, but in reality
Mastclimbers provide flexible access, repositioning quickly without removing personnel or materials.
For successful change and adoption, leaders must create confidence around new technology. When employees and contractors feel secure, change becomes an opportunity and not a risk.
At BFT Mastclimbing, we bridge this gap for you, by offering:
Sticking with the familiar may feel safe but real industry leaders scrutinise every option to ensure they’re making the right choice not the default one.
