You should choose a scaffolding supplier as follows:

1. Find all possible suppliers,
2. Determine their qualifications,
3. Choose the right ones.

1. Find

Find as many scaffolding suppliers as possible. Some of them are very well-known and can inflate prices using their name alone, while others are just starting to work on the market and are little known, but can sell cheaper.

Search for a potential scaffolding supplier:

On the advice of colleagues

Ask your acquaintances "in the shop" from whom they bought scaffolding.

On the Internet

The Internet is a huge source of information where you can learn about scaffolding suppliers, including.

At exhibitions

Exhibitions allow many industry manufacturers and sellers to gather in one place, and are also a good place to search. The downside is that exhibitions are quite rare.

2. Qualifications

Determine the qualifications of the scaffolding suppliers based on your own project requirements.

Find out the following about the scaffolding suppliers:

• Are they well-known scaffolding sellers or a young company just starting out?
• Does the scaffolding supplier have overseas customers or does it only sell in one country?
• What insurance options does the scaffolding supplier offer?
• Has the company supplied scaffolding for a project similar to yours?

Save the profiles of all suppliers to a file, perhaps this will be useful to you in the future.

3. Selecting a scaffolding supplier

It is best to contact each scaffolding supplier to discuss the project and ask questions. Choosing from afar may not provide the information you need. Specific questions will help you get specific answers. The decision should not be made alone, but after consulting with your team interested in creating the project.
