Project Overview

Morella Woods is a major residential scheme comprising 136 houses and apartments. The primary driver for this contract is an accelerated build programme, requiring a highly responsive scaffolding partner capable of maintaining pace across multiple active workfaces simultaneously.

High-Speed Programme Management

With site trades operating six days a week, KAS implemented a specialized logistical framework to ensure the scaffolding schedule remained ahead of the brickwork and roofing programmes:

Dynamic Resource Distribution: With plots being built in multiple locations across the site, we meticulously forward-plan the movement of materials to ensure no "down-time" for following trades.
Safety & Segregation: To manage the risks associated with a fast-paced site, KAS utilizes a dedicated site labourer specifically tasked with the setup and constant relocation of safety barriers. This ensures clear segregation between scaffolding operations and other site activities at all times.
Real-Time Communication: Our Site Supervisor operates on a dedicated radio channel, maintaining constant contact with forklift drivers. This synergy allows for the immediate movement of materials and prevents logistical bottlenecks.

Operational Excellence

The scale of Morella Woods demands more than just scaffolding expertise; it requires elite site management. By dedicating specific personnel to logistics and safety, KAS ensures that high-volume delivery never comes at the expense of site safety or quality.

Key Highlights

Volume Capability: Seamlessly managing 136 units across various build stages.
Integrated Logistics: Real-time radio coordination for efficient plant and material movement.
Safety Dedication: Dedicated personnel for site segregation and public/worker protection.
Reliability: Maintaining a 6-day-a-week operational capacity to meet Vistry’s milestones.

My first opinion of KAS Scaffolding when they arrived onsite was how professional they looked all in the same branded uniform & smart which isn’t something you see to much with other scaffold companies.

All Lorries Branded & looking smart.

KAS Health & Safety approach has been excellent, right from Senior Management to the scaffolders out onsite.
They even set up a portal which we can access for any documents needed.

The KAS way of clipping all scaffold boards to all scaffold lifts was a real help especially when we have experienced bad weather.

The most important one for me was the standard of scaffolding they produced, there operatives are a credit to KAS.

Senior Site Manager

KAS have always provided a prompt service with competitive costs. In addition, advising on savings and value engineering.

Always reassuring to have KAS within the Project Team.

An early engagement with them brings benefits of their expertise to offer the most appropriate solution to various façade finishes and a safe solution for working at height.

KAS can be relied upon during the construction phase to implement their high targets by way of attitude to Health & Safety, co-operation of the qualified work force and commitment to achieve programme dates.

Their pro-active use of web-based admin provides for timely issue & accessible documentation records.

I had KAS Scaffolding on a project that consisted of 22no Apartments and a commercial unit.

Before, during and after scaffolding works KAS were always easy to work with.

Works were undertaken smoothly and efficiently with attention to detail i.e. clipping all Scaff boards, aesthetically pleasing scaffold, labour well presented with critical dates always met.

From remote link regarding Handovers, inspections, labour skill cards etc, to directors/C.M visiting site to accommodate various issues I have found KAS to be a good sub-contractor and would always recommend.
