The £10,000 Mistake Scaffolding Contractors Make | The Brace Yourself Podcast
Too often, scaffolding is treated as a commodity instead of one of the biggest drivers of safety, programme and cost.
In this episode, Ben and Simon are joined by temporary works specialist Francis Kwateng, who brings over 25 years of civil engineering experience from both contractor and client-side leadership.
They explore why so many scaffolding projects go wrong before a single standard is erected, why early engagement changes everything, and whether the industry should finally move beyond the endless debate of system scaffold vs tube & fitting.
If you're involved in scaffolding, temporary works, construction management or civil engineering, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply on your next project.
