  The £10,000 Mistake Scaffolding Contractors Make | The Brace Yourself Podcast

  Jul 8, 202650 minS1

  Too often, scaffolding is treated as a commodity instead of one of the biggest drivers of safety, programme and cost. In this episode, Ben and Simon are joined by temporary works specialist Francis Kwateng , who brings over 25 years of civil engineering experience from both contractor and client-side leadership. They explore why so many scaffolding projects go wrong before a single standard is erected, why early engagement changes everything, and whether the industry should finally move beyond the endless debate of system scaffold vs tube & fitting . If you're involved in scaffolding, temporary works, construction management or civil engineering, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply on your next project.
