job sheet app for scaffolders

Scaffolders and access

Erect, alteration, hire periods and dismantle — each one a chargeable event with its own record.

How does Day Worksheet work for scaffolders and access?

Day Worksheet is a job sheet app for scaffolding and access firms. Each erect, alteration, extended hire period and dismantle is recorded as its own job with the gang's hours, materials on site, photos of the completed structure and a signature, then invoiced from the same record.

Scaffolders erecting a scaffold on a terraced house while a colleague records details on a phone

What usually goes wrong

  • Alterations requested on site are done and never charged
  • Hire overruns past the agreed period with nothing to evidence the dates
  • The gang's hours are recovered from memory at the end of the week
  • Nobody can prove the condition of the structure when it was handed over

What you end up with

  • Erect, alter and dismantle as separate chargeable records
  • Gang hours per operative with their own rate
  • Photos of the completed structure at handover
  • Hire dates recorded as events happen
  • Signature from the site contact at each stage

On site, step by step

1

Record the erect

Site, gang, hours and the structure handed over, with photos.

2

Log every alteration

A separate record each time the scaffold is changed at someone's request.

3

Track the hire period

Dates recorded so an overrun is visible rather than argued about.

4

Record the dismantle

Hours and date off hire, photographed and signed.

Questions

Can I record an alteration as its own job?

Yes. Each attendance is a separate job sheet, so alterations are charged rather than absorbed.

Can I put a whole gang on one sheet?

Yes. Multiple operatives with their own trades, hours and rates go on a single job.

Does it track hire periods automatically?

No. It records the dates and details you enter on each job; it is not a hire management system.

Can the site contact sign for handover?

Yes. Electronic signatures are captured on the phone at the end of each attendance.
