North East Scaffolding

North East Scaffolding was established by the current owners in 2004 and has serviced Benalla and the surrounding area for almost 20 years. Located in Harold Street, Benalla, the premises consist of a large yard and shedding where the scaffolding is stored.

The business supply and install Kwikstage scaffolding, 2-3 plank walkway platforms and fall protection.

The Kwikstage scaffolding system is modular, which means that it is highly versatile and can be altered to fit different purposes as required. This type of system is particularly useful in situations where the façade of a building is not uniform and makes a traditional scaffolding system unviable.

2-3 Plank walkway platforms are the most efficient system used for installation on both single and double storey housing of fascia/gutter and roof trusses. This system is light and easy to erect and is adjustable for various height set-ups as well as for different sized eaves.

The business also provides fall protection. Guardrails, a personal fall arrest system, or both must protect each employee more than 10 feet (3.1 meters) above a lower level from falling.

North East Scaffolding is owned by a partnership of three, two of whom work in the business on a part time basis. The two owners perform administrative duties and other small jobs and work around 5 hours per week each from their respective homes. The business employs three subcontractors who perform the installations and all manual labour.

There is fantastic potential to grow this business significantly with a motivated and dedicated full time operator. The business is fortunate to have no main competitors within 100km of Benalla.

North East Scaffolding runs a small, specialised business, however expansion into a similar area such as temporary fencing or portable toilet hire for building sites and events is certainly an option.

North East Scaffolding performs very little advertising. A comprehensive marketing plan including dedicated business website and the use of social media across all platforms would also be beneficial for the business.
