One of the best scaffold companies I’ve worked with. As always it was an absolute pleasure dealing with your crew. It worked great as usual with the ALTA boys. We had heaps of trades there today and your boys worked in with them so well.

The setup was perfect, the price excellent and all the staff have been friendly and professional, in particular Josh’s communication throughout the process has been second to none. Would highly recommend

Scaffolding considerations for the Newcastle area

The heart of Newcastle has many heritage-listed buildings and Victorian terraces that reflect the steel city’s unique narrative and blue collar values. Newcastle is also rich with Edwardian architecture on King and Hunter Streets, and examples of art deco, Georgian and baroque style buildings can be found in town. Heritage listings tend to be more fragile and require further care and effort to maintain the rich history and culture of these buildings.

The thriving greater Newcastle area comprises a myriad of residences and commercial buildings, from mid century homes and offices, to modern office buildings, civic buildings, shopping centres and high-rises.

The Newcastle earthquake in 1989 was a serious natural disaster that made national headlines, and caused 13 tragic deaths. The quake was a catalyst for rebuilding, with more than 50,000 buildings repaired in the aftermath, including 40,000 homes. Only 400 of the buildings were demolished. As a local family business, we keep the memory of that day in our minds and it’s one of the many reasons we strictly adhere to our PROTECT safety system.
