Benefits of Elevated Scaffolding Article featured in First Issue of Masonry ENews

“When the block stops, the money stops.” Thatʼs the way one mason contractor put it, and he hit the nail right on the head. On the flip side, if your men work faster than you estimated, you spend less money on labor (and still get paid the bid price), and the leftover labor money is yours to keep. Just a little extra production returns a whole lot of extra profit. Only about one in 20 mason contractors really understands how much profit, and understanding it explains how a person can keep taking jobs below his competitor’s cost and stay in business.

New Scaffold Available For Masonry Contractors

Non-Stop Scaffolding’s new patent-pending Light Bulb Scaffold System can be used to change light bulbs, perform A/V/L work, and perform other maintenance chores in an auditorium almost as easily as setting up a scaffold in a wide-open gymnasium. The Light Bulb Scaffold system uses a light-weight Spanner Kit that adapts to virtually any floor layout. The spacing of the four legs is designed to step around rows of seats, desks, etc. The legs telescope up and down as much as five feet to provide a solid, level base on stepped or sloping floors, or above stadium seating, like choir lofts. It only takes about five minutes to assemble the base, without tools. The entire scaffold can be built in less than 30 minutes.
