Our company is headed by a director with over 15 years’ experience, having been working in the industry since 2005. Having previously worked for large independent firms, he decided to become freelance in 2019, forming JM Scaffold Design. Since then, we have produced designs for all manner of projects, from confined, small-scale works to large-scale bespoke temporary roof design and façade restraints.
From our experience, we know temporary works design to be costly with a long timescale. This is largely why we set up our own company; to provide a fast, professional and affordable service.
Other reasons to choose us for bespoke scaffolding design and Cat 3 checks in London, Manchester and the wider UK include:

Scaffold design is a crucial part of any construction project with temporary works. Scaffolding is one of the first things a site requires and needs to be designed to ensure safe and secure access to the site. We assess the site and work to complete and create bespoke designs for projects in Manchester and London.
Cat 2 checks are for more developed scaffolding designs and are checked in-house but require an independent review from an individual not involved in the design. Cat 3 checks provide the highest level of scrutiny, and the design is checked by a separate company that didn't create the design.
The process of planning and designing temporary scaffolding structures used to support permanent structures is called temporary works design. These designs are vital to the success of construction projects.
There are many materials available for temporary roof design projects. Our company uses corrugated steel and aluminium, flexible plastics and plastic panels. We will advise on the best material based on your project and individual requirements.
