What are the prices (unit costs) and duration of temporary scaffolding work?
Unit costs, types of scaffolding, and how to choose a contractor

Temporary scaffolding is essentially necessary equipment when carrying out work on exterior walls or roofs, and when requesting renovations or repairs, scaffolding costs will also be incurred. Knowing how much the scaffolding installation will cost can help avoid troubles and allow you to confidently entrust the work to a contractor.

This article will explain the price range and unit costs of temporary scaffolding work, the necessity of installing scaffolding, and how to choose a scaffolding contractor. This is important information for those planning home renovations or considering modifications, so please read to the end.

Prices and unit costs of temporary scaffolding work

First, let’s take a look at the price range for temporary scaffolding work. The price and unit cost of temporary scaffolding vary depending on the installation area and the contractor you choose, but the average amount for a typical two-story house is as follows.

The construction cost is calculated by adding labor costs and construction costs for assembly and disassembly to the amount calculated based on the unit cost and scaffolding area.

If the shape of the house is complex or if it is a building with three or more stories, the costs may exceed the average range.

For a vike scaffolding, the unit cost is 550-950 yen/㎡, so it would be good to refer to this when looking at estimates from contractors.

Reasons why unit costs for temporary scaffolding differ among contractors
The unit cost of temporary scaffolding can vary slightly depending on how the scaffolding is procured by the contracting company.

There are mainly four cases to consider.

1. Using scaffolding owned by exterior contractors

2. Exterior contractors renting scaffolding

3. Using scaffolding owned by scaffolding contractors

4. The scaffolding contractor rents scaffolding

 

The case where the remodeling or repair contractor already owns a complete set of temporary scaffolding materials is the cheapest among the above options. On the other hand, the most expensive scenario is likely when a scaffolding contractor, known for their precision and speed in assembly, rents scaffolding.

However, purchasing temporary scaffolding materials incurs enormous costs and requires time for maintenance, so many contractors choose to rent to reduce costs. In any case, whether the costs align with the previously introduced market prices for temporary scaffolding work is a key tip for requesting services at an appropriate price.

Necessity of Temporary Scaffolding

When repairing or remodeling exterior walls, roofs, or rain gutters, it is essential to install temporary scaffolding.

The main reasons include the following points.

・Ensuring safety during work

・Careful and accurate construction

・Consideration for neighbors

When performing work on exterior walls or roofs, especially at heights of two stories or more, temporary scaffolding is necessary not only because it is out of reach but also to ensure safety during the work. Safety is the top priority for any work at heights, so temporary scaffolding is generally installed to cover the necessary areas.

Additionally, having scaffolding stabilizes the worker’s footing and posture, allowing for careful and accurate work. Particularly in painting, if the worker is unstable, it can lead to uneven finishes and a sloppy appearance.

Furthermore, by installing a debris prevention net (mesh sheet) around the scaffolding, the impact on neighboring houses and passersby on the street can be prevented. As mentioned above, installing temporary scaffolding can eliminate various concerns that may arise during construction.

Duration of Temporary Scaffolding Work

Temporary scaffolding is generally installed just before the construction begins and remains in place until the work is completed. In the case of single-family homes, for new construction, it takes about 3 to 4 months from the framing of the building until the exterior work, including the roof, walls, and rain gutters, is finished. For remodeling work, the installation period varies depending on the scope and height of the work, ranging from about 3 days to 1.5 months.

The installation and dismantling of scaffolding itself are completed within one day each, but the time for each task is as follows:

Note that depending on the scale of the scaffolding and the duration of use, it may be necessary to notify the relevant labor standards inspection office about the installation, relocation, or major structural changes of the scaffolding.

Types of Temporary Scaffolding Work

Here, we will introduce the types of temporary scaffolding. The main types of temporary scaffolding used in single-family home construction are as follows:

Points for Choosing a Temporary Scaffolding Contractor

Temporary scaffolding is often arranged by the contractor you hire for residential construction or renovation work. When selecting a temporary scaffolding contractor on your own, it is advisable to pay attention to the following points:

Contractors with ample experience and a solid track record are highly reliable, allowing you to confidently entrust them with temporary scaffolding work. Even professional craftsmen should be checked for liability insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Most scaffolding contractors and construction companies should be thorough in this regard, but it’s worth confirming just in case. In addition to the above, the installation and dismantling of scaffolding over 5 meters in height must be conducted under the supervision of a person with the national qualification of “Scaffolding Assembly Supervisor,” so if applicable, pay attention to that point as well.
