Illustrative scaffolding; not a completed project

Glossary

Platform height

Platform height is the level of a scaffold working deck measured from an identified reference point.

Platform height is the level of a scaffold working deck measured from an identified reference point.

What does this mean for your project?

The reference point matters where surrounding ground is uneven. A height measured from street level may differ from one measured in a lower courtyard. State the basis of supplied dimensions so the provider can distinguish different measurements instead of assuming they share a common origin.

Platform height alone does not establish which façade surfaces are conveniently reachable. Activities and intended working positions are also needed. The façade contractor can explain why separate parts of the building may not be treated from one identical level throughout the project.

The online planner does not provide a final deck arrangement. Use it for the overall dimensions and describe individual levels in the message. The provider translates the request into an appropriate installation after considering the relevant conditions and work requirements.

Practical questions

One more
thing.

Is platform height the same as building height?

No. It refers to the scaffold deck level, not the highest edge of the property.

Why identify a reference point?

On sloping ground or different ground levels, the same number can mean different things. A clear reference prevents confusion.
