I have to price to scaffold to the top of a clock tower on my town hall. It is going to be 14 lifts up with the top 2 lifts boarded.

The clock tower measures 14 feet on all 4 sides.

If anyone could give me a second opinion on the timescale regarding labour man hours I would be eternally grateful.

Cheers

Martin
 
Are the workmen getting out of an opening at the clockface or do you need to ladder the whole thing? Sheeted?

depending on your lads speed etc id say around 2 weeks possibly upto 3, but then again it does depend how intricate the detail is, speed of your lads, men on job? design? listed building?

not much help am i? sorry
 
Normal 6ft 6 lifts with ladder access from the ground so need landing platforms all the way up.
 
does it have fans usually job that size would have a fan and a catchers fan and does it have extra standards an base out and is it netted another couple of days if it does
 
Impresuming the clock tower is attached to the hall? Is it 3 sides so far up with beams over the hall roof? How many lifts above the beams are there and will they have to be craned in?

Some other things to consider

also ,how are ya gonna tie in,a building like that if it has preservation order on it are they gonna let you,have you to build a huge butress,are ya gonna build loading bays to land your material,give the right specs of the job and mayb then you will get the right anwsers ,also what are ya gonna build it with,cup lock,layer,yellow jelly,tube fitting/?
 
i think he was just looking for a rough idea, ive worked with more estimators.supervisors/ managers than i care to remember and a good scaff will nearly always ask for a second opinion, even though they know the job inside out. FFS even doctors get second opinions

ps have a look at the sizes? would you tie it in?

just my opinion

me and my squad 15 year ago 3 days:nuts:
now 3 month:D
