Scaffolding Software You Build by Describing It: Hire Periods, Strikes, Gangs and Stock

Mythex lets a scaffolding firm replace the yard whiteboard with an app that knows every scaffold's erect date, hire end date and inspection due, bills overrun hire weekly, schedules gangs, and counts tube and fittings out and back. Describe how your yard runs in chat and publish it with a real database.

The money is in the hire, and the hire is where it leaks

Scaffolders work for builders, roofers and property managers. Each job is an erect, a hire period and a strike, and the profit often sits in the weeks of hire. When the builder finishes and forgets to call, the scaffold stays up, nobody invoices the extra weeks, and the tube and boards stuck there have to be replaced for the next job. Gangs start early, inspections are due at set intervals where you work, and scaffolders' cards expire. Most firms run it all from a whiteboard and a yard book. A scaffolding company needs hire dates that trigger invoices, inspections that appear as jobs, and stock counted per site.

• Erect date, included hire period and strike date per scaffold
• Weekly hire charged from the day the included period ends
• Inspections scheduled as named jobs
• Gangs with a lead hand, vehicle and card expiry dates
• Tube, fittings and boards counted out and back per site
• Builders tagged by how quickly they pay

What you can build for scaffolding companies

Quotes with the weekly rate written in

Price by elevation, height and run, or by scaffold type for common jobs. State the included hire period and the weekly rate after it, and add loading bays, sheeting, alarms, temporary roofs or pavement licences as extras.

Build a quote app for my scaffolding company. Price by elevation with height and length, include 6 weeks hire, and show the weekly rate after that. Extras: loading bay, sheeting, alarm, temporary roof, pavement licence. Note when a design is required. Clients accept online.

Invoices that start the day hire runs over

The first invoice covers erect, strike and the included period. From the day that period ends, weekly hire invoices raise automatically until the strike, with alterations and extra inspections as separate lines and the site and PO number on every one.

Make invoicing for my scaffolding firm. First invoice: erect, strike and included hire. After the included period ends, create a weekly hire invoice every Monday until the scaffold is struck. Add alterations as separate lines and show site address and PO number.

A builder portal with a strike button

Each client sees live scaffolds with erect date, hire end date and address, downloads inspection records and handover certificates, and requests a strike, alteration or extension with a date. Most overruns end once the builder can see the date and press a button.

Create a client portal for my scaffolding company. Builders see each live scaffold with site address, erect date and hire end date, download inspection records and handover certificates, and request a strike, alteration or hire extension with a date.

Gang schedules with inspections on the calendar

Schedule gangs as teams with a lead scaffolder and a vehicle. Erects, strikes, alterations and inspections are job types with their own durations, card expiry dates are stored per scaffolder, and weather holds on exposed jobs push the week.

Build a schedule for my scaffolding gangs. Each gang has a lead hand, members and a vehicle. Job types: erect, strike, alteration, inspection, each with a duration. Store each scaffolder's card expiry and warn me 30 days before. Inspections are scheduled with a named inspector.

Tube and fittings counted per site

Track tube by length, fittings by type and boards in the yard and on each site. Material out on the erect is matched with what returns on the strike. Condemned items leave stock, and hired-in material is tracked so it goes back on time.

Make a stock app for my scaffolding yard. Track tube by length, fittings by type and boards, in the yard and per site. Record material out on each erect and back on each strike and show losses per job. Log condemned items and hired-in material with its return date.

Overdue strikes at the top

Scaffolds up with those past their hire end highlighted, inspections due this week, material on site against the yard, and hire revenue against erect and strike revenue.

Build a dashboard for my scaffolding company: scaffolds currently up, with ones past hire end date first, inspections due this week, tube and boards on site versus in the yard, and hire income versus erect income per month.

From the whiteboard to a list of live scaffolds

Day one is one list: every scaffold currently up, with client, site address, erect date and the agreed hire end date. That list alone usually finds several scaffolds past their period that nobody has invoiced. Add the weekly rate to each, turn on weekly hire invoices, then bring in inspections and stock.

• Every live scaffold with its dates
• Agreed weekly rate on each
• Next inspection due

Inspections and safety records

Inspection intervals, handover certificates and design requirements are set by the rules where you operate. The app schedules inspections, stores the records and shares them with the client; what those inspections must cover and who may carry them out is yours to follow.
