Photos lose their meaning
A camera roll shows the building but not always the elevation, risk or measurement the image was meant to explain.
Scaffolding site survey app
Leave site with the whole picture—not another memory job.
Capture access, dimensions, elevations and media in one structured survey while the building is still in front of you.
Scaffold Boss gives surveyors a phone-friendly record that the office can use for quotations and planning without calling back for the missing piece.

Where survey value leaks away
A fast site visit can create a long trail of questions.
The surveyor may know exactly what they saw, but that understanding becomes fragile when measurements, access constraints and photographs are stored in different places.
Notes need translating
Handwriting, abbreviations and voice messages often need another conversation before the office can use them confidently.
Missing detail triggers revisits
An overlooked access point or unclear dimension can interrupt quoting and gang planning after the surveyor has moved on.
A usable record from site
Capture once, with enough structure for the next decision.
A good digital survey does more than replace paper. It turns what the surveyor sees into a shared record that supports a quote, a plan and the eventual site brief.
Prompt the important checks
Record access, property context, elevations and dimensions in a consistent flow without flattening every job into the same shape.
Explain with media
Attach photos, video and voice notes to the survey so the office can see and hear the context behind short written notes.
Make the record actionable
Carry the captured site information into quotation and job planning instead of leaving it in an isolated form.
How it moves
A site walk that becomes a working record.
The capture flow follows how surveyors look at a job: establish the place, inspect the elevations, record constraints and support it with evidence.
- 01Establish the site
Address, contact and access
Confirm where the work is, who is involved and how gangs, materials and vehicles can reach it.
- 02Describe the structure
Elevations and dimensions
Record the measurable job detail needed to discuss scope and prepare a reliable quotation.
- 03Show the constraints
Photos, video and voice
Add media while its relevance is obvious, including obstacles, surfaces and details that are easier shown than typed.
- 04Hand it over
Ready for office review
Make one structured survey available for quotation and planning as soon as the site visit is complete.

The connected system
This workflow is stronger because it does not end here.
The next team can use the same customer, site and job context rather than asking the business to create a parallel record.

Questions about site surveys.
What can be recorded in a scaffolding site survey?
The workflow covers customer and site details, access, property context, elevations, dimensions, written notes and supporting photos, video and voice notes.
Is the survey app designed for a phone?
Yes. The capture experience is designed around practical use on a phone, with direct actions and touch-friendly controls, while the same record can be reviewed in more detail from the office.
Can office staff see a survey after the visit?
The survey is part of the shared job record, so authorised office users can review the captured detail when preparing a quotation or planning the work.
Does the survey automatically calculate every scaffold design?
No. Scaffold Boss helps capture and organise job information; it does not replace competent design, engineering judgement or any project-specific legal and safety duties.
Does the app work fully offline?
Full offline operation is not currently part of the public promise. We will only claim offline capability when the complete workflow has been implemented and verified.
