Preconstruction
Plan ahead. Build better.
Avoid surprises, delays, and costly redesigns by involving KAS early. Our pre-construction support lays the groundwork for a safer, faster and more efficient build.
Helping you get it right before the scaffold goes up. We support your project from day one.
With clear thinking, expert design input, and smart planning that keeps everything on track, getting your access strategy right at the start can save weeks of wasted time later on. We work with you, your design team and contractors to make sure scaffold requirements are thought through, costed properly, and fully integrated into your programme.
What we do during pre-construction:
- Attend design meetings and site visits
- Advise on scaffold types, tie locations and sequencing
- Provide scaffold feasibility guidance and early-stage design input
- Flag potential access risks before they become real problems
- Deliver indicative costs to help with accurate budgeting
We’re here to support project managers, quantity surveyors, main contractors and developers who want to get it right first time. Whether it’s a high-rise, a tight site, or a phased build, early involvement means we can tailor a scaffold strategy that works.
Design matters
KAS offers both in-house scaffold design and works with trusted external engineering partners. This means we can support you at every level – from TG20 compliance to full bespoke drawings and calculations.
You’ll benefit from: -
- Accurate loadings and clear specifications
- Better integration with structural and architectural plans
- Faster sign-off and approval
Our team understands the balance between safety, buildability and cost. We know how to plan scaffolding that protects trades, supports logistics, and doesn’t get in the way.
Why involve us early?
Because reactive scaffolding is expensive scaffolding. Poor access planning leads to delays, rework, and all the usual finger-pointing.
With early input from KAS, you can: -
- Design smarter scaffold layouts
- Avoid clashes with M&E, cranes or cladding
- Schedule smarter with access sequencing built in
- Make informed decisions on temporary works
Who this is for
- Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors
- Developers and housebuilders
- Architects and planning consultants
- Cost consultants and QS teams
Whether it’s a one-off job or a long-term framework, our pre-construction service adds value before a single tube is lifted. We help you plan with confidence, price realistically, and keep the build moving.
Want fewer surprises on site? Bring us in early.
