saw an ad yesterday here about a new design company, cannot find the thread again, anyone know where to find it?
BTW - I have had no hands on experience of erecting scaffold (apart form the two weeks I was sent out with a gang in my early days, but that is another story)
Having said that, I always ask opinions of scaffolders / chargehands / supervisors when producing designs, as I want us all to be 'singing from the same hymn sheet' when it comes to the finished preoduct
My feckin God, A Designer wi a brain, who would a thought we'd see the day, LOL. Only kidding Jon, just most designers don't give a feck about our thoughts
:toung:
I know what you are saying, guys who I meet for the first time have a kinda 'stand off' attitude' toward me - what I design is not the 'be all & end all' to building a scaffold - YOU build it all day & every day, you know quicker, cheaper, safer methods perhaps & IMO I would be stupid not to ask questions & listen to input before trying to 'prove' a scaffold that you guys are happy to build
The scaffolders I work with have got to know me & we have a good working relationship where 'everybody' is happy with what is going on
Yeah but we have to remember that you know more about the load bearing capabilities of components than we could dream of knowing as well m8, its a 2 way street
