Scaffold Design Services – Drawings, Calculations & Temporary Works (UK)

At Fox Scaffold Design, we provide expert scaffold design services across London, West Sussex, Surrey, Kent, and throughout the South East of the UK. Our team delivers detailed 2D and 3D AutoCAD scaffold drawings, precise structural calculations, and fully compliant temporary works designs that meet TG20:21, BS EN 12811-1, and BS 5975 standards.

Whether you require bespoke scaffold design for a complex project, CAT 3 independent checks, or urgent site surveys, our engineers ensure every design is safe, practical, and cost-effective.

Scaffold Drawings (2D & 3D CAD)

We produce clear, fully detailed scaffold design drawings tailored to your project. Using AutoCAD software, our drawings include:

Plan layouts and elevations
Tie patterns, bracing details, and loading points
Safety notes and compliance references

Designs are created with the scaffolder in mind to ensure practicality during erection. Deliverables can be supplied as digital files (PDF, DWG) or printed copies, depending on your needs.

Structural Analysis & Calculations

Every scaffold structure we design undergoes rigorous structural analysis to guarantee stability and safety. Our services include:

Scaffold design calculations for loading, wind, and stability
Frame and element analysis
Verification against BS EN 12811-1 and BS 5975 requirements

By providing detailed calculation packages, we give clients peace of mind and ensure approval from local authorities, principal contractors, and safety auditors.

Site Surveys & Emergency Call-Outs (24/7)

Our engineers are available for scaffold site surveys across the UK, offering flexible scheduling and emergency call-out support. Services include:

Pre-design site surveys for bespoke scaffoldsAs-built verification inspections
24/7 emergency call-outs for dangerous or unstable structures
Advice on remedial works to restore safety

This hands-on approach ensures your projects remain safe and compliant at all times.

Project Verification & CAT 3 Checks

When a third-party verification or independent check is required, our engineers deliver professional scaffold design verification to CAT 2 and CAT 3 levels.

This service is especially valuable for high-risk or complex projects, including Network Rail, London Underground, and large commercial developments, where compliance and safety cannot be compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common scaffold design and temporary works questions.

Do I always need a scaffold design, or is TG20:21 enough?

TG20:21 covers many standard scaffolds. A bespoke design is required for non-standard structures such as cantilevers, temporary roofs, unusual geometries, or high loads.

What’s included in your scaffold design package?

2D/3D AutoCAD drawings, detailed calculation reports, tie patterns, bracing details, loading points, and compliance notes (e.g., TG20:21 / BS EN 12811-1 / BS 5975).

How much do scaffold design drawings and calculations cost?

Pricing depends on complexity, size, and turnaround. We provide transparent, competitive quotes tailored to each project scope.

What is a CAT 3 check in scaffold design?

A CAT 3 check is an independent review for complex or high-risk projects. It validates the design against relevant standards and safety requirements.

How quickly can you deliver scaffold drawings and calculations?

We aim for fast turnaround, with urgent projects and 24/7 call-out support available when needed.

Do you cover projects outside London and the South East?

Yes. Our core areas are London, Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, and we regularly support projects across the wider South East and UK.
