5 things to check before you hire a scaffolding company in Auckland

• Safety record and prequalification. Look for SiteWise, Tōtika and Site Safe credentials. Tana NZ holds SiteWise Gold with a 100% score and is Tōtika CAT 3 prequalified.

• In-house design. Engineered designs mean fewer surprises on site and faster quotes.

• Inspection and tagging. Every scaffold should be inspected and tagged before use, with records you can see.

• Reliability. Will crews turn up when promised and adapt quickly when your programme changes?

• Insurance. Check their liability cover. Tana NZ carries $20M broadform liability and $10M commercial motor cover.

What affects the cost of scaffolding in Auckland?

Every quote depends on the job, but the main factors are the height and size of the building, site access and ground conditions, how long the scaffold is needed, extras like encapsulation, temporary roofs, hoists or stair towers, and any alterations needed as the build progresses. The best way to get an accurate price is to send your plans and programme, so the quote reflects your actual job.
