From the first look at a terrace re-roof through the handover to the week the last standard goes back on the wagon.

No serious tube-and-fitting job gets priced off a photograph. Put the site visit on your page and price it once you have seen the ties.

A scaffold is two visits with weeks of hire between them. Book both when you quote and the strike stops being something you hope somebody remembers.

Scaffolding runs out of kit before it runs out of hours. When the yard is empty the page says so, and takes the enquiry regardless.
A scaffold stands for weeks, so the dismantle is a date you set while you are quoting rather than something you hope somebody remembers in March.
Three ways to price it: a bare access scaffold to the rear, the same full height with a temporary roof, or that plus debris netting and a loading bay.
Bays, lifts, sheeting and hire weeks are separate lines, so when the figure gets queried you can point at the part it came from.
Add the temporary roof or another month of hire and the total follows. No arithmetic on the van bonnet and nothing to walk back.
The quote goes out while you are still parked outside, which is generally before anybody else has returned the call.
Pro: put the extras on as priced options. Monoflex sheeting, an alarm, a ladder access tower, another four weeks on hire. The quoted figure moves as the contractor picks, so nothing gets re-typed.
Where it is, what is going up, what it costs and when it comes down, all attached to the job before the truck is loaded.
Every site you have wrapped for them, what you charged and what is still standing, on one card instead of in last year's notebook.
A scaffold quote sits with three others on a builder's phone. See what has been read and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.
Built for your trade
Independent scaffold with a loading bay for the slates, quoted with a hire period the roofer signs up to before the first standard goes in.
A sheeted roof over a strip-and-reslate so the work carries on through the weather, priced as its own line rather than buried in the scaffold.
The small awkward one on a pitched roof, quoted after a look at the ties because no photograph has ever shown the state of the parapet.
A working deck across a nave or a hall floor, priced on the area, usually erected in a window when the building is not in use.
Access over a footway on a shop front, where the council conversation runs alongside the quote and both belong on the same job.
Lifts following the brickwork up, each raise booked as its own visit rather than left to whoever answered the phone that morning.
Full elevations for external wall insulation, with the standoff the render needs priced in rather than argued about on the first morning.
Monoflex or debris netting sold as an option on top of the base scaffold, so the price moves the moment the contractor says yes.
The programme slips and the scaffold stays up. The weeks go on the open job and get invoiced from it rather than forgotten.
The dismantle booked as its own visit with its own squad, because the lads who erected it are three jobs away by then.
Two payments on every job, and chasing either is time nobody bills for. Record what lands for nothing, or take cards on Pro.
Mark it paid when the transfer arrives. That costs nothing on any plan and is not going to change.
Send a card link for the erect, and another for the weeks the programme overran by.
Part on handover, the rest on strike. Staged requests come with Pro, and they go out after the job is booked.
A load of kit has a sensible radius, and past it the job quietly stops paying. Set the postcodes you cover and the page holds it.
Draw the patch around the yard. Anything outside it hears so at once, rather than after a week of silence.
Kit out of two yards means two areas, and the job lands with the yard that can actually service it.
The rate is the rate anywhere in your area. Nothing is quietly added for the far end of it.

One app for the whole job
Yes. Each scaffolder on your team keeps their own record, so you can note the CISRS card they hold and when it runs out. Bookables neither checks nor issues cards, and putting the right card on the right job remains yours to judge.
No. Bookables is not an inspection register and it signs nothing off. It holds the job instead: the address, the handover date, when it is due to come down, your notes and your photographs, in one place you can find in six months.
The job stays open while the scaffold stands. Add the extra weeks to it when the main contractor rings, and invoice them from the same record, so billed hire and standing hire never drift apart.
It does not, and a system that offered to would be worth ignoring. You price the bays, the lifts, the sheeting and the hire. Bookables keeps that quote attached to the dates and the money rather than in a separate spreadsheet.
There is. Quoting, the diary, the booking page, your customer list and the inbox cost nothing, with a monthly allowance most two-squad firms never trouble. Card payments and the automatic parts sit on Pro.
No. Pro is charged per booking rather than per seat, so putting the yard manager and a second squad leader on the account does not add anything to the bill.
