Scaffolding quantified bay by bay
A grid of 2.5 m bays and 2 m lifts is fitted to the elevation. The module derives the full bill of materials, the erection progress and a half-day schedule.

Decks, ledgers, toe boards, guardrails, standards, transoms, base plates, hatches, ladders: the full list.
The erection schedule is computed in half-days for a crew of 2, 3 or 4.
Enter what you already have in the yard and the module shows what is left to hire.

Counting scaffolding by hand means counting twice
Scaffolding material is not counted per square meter: it is counted per bay and per lift, with a different rule at the ends, four feet per interval, and a hatch that swaps two decks for a ladder. The spreadsheet doing that maths exists in every firm, and nobody dares touch it.
FloorScan takes that same logic but starts from the elevation itself. You calibrate a scale on the background, draw the area to scaffold, the grid is generated and the bill of materials follows. Click a cell to mark it erected: progress and schedule update.
What the scaffolding module produces
Grid generated from the drawing
Draw the area on a calibrated elevation: bays and lifts are cut automatically, the last bay taking the remainder.
Full bill of materials
Quantities per item and per size, with the end-bay rule and the four feet per interval applied automatically.
Hatches and ladders
Flag a cell as a hatch: two decks leave the count, a hatch and a ladder join it.
Erection progress
Every erected cell is ticked on the grid: the job reads at a glance, with no separate tracking sheet.
Schedule by crew size
2, 3 or 4 erectors: the number of half-days and the finish date recompute instantly.
Calibrated background
A photo or drawing acts as the background, two points give the scale, and the grid overlays the building.
Scaffolding takeoff questions
What bay and lift dimensions are used?
By default a 2.5 m bay and a 2 m lift, the standard values for common equipment. The split leaves the remainder in the last bay, and you can adjust any width by hand when the elevation calls for a different module.
Does the calculation account for my own stock?
Yes, every line of the bill of materials accepts an available quantity. The module then shows required, available and missing, which is exactly the hire order to place.
Is this a compliance calculation?
No, it is a quantity and scheduling tool. Structural design, ties and the calculation note remain the responsibility of the erector and the equipment manufacturer.

I already have an accountFor roof upstands, a flat roof waterproofing detail takes a few minutes to draw. Missing a section for the package? A construction detail drawing can be drawn to scale, as vectors. Quantities then come from our AI takeoff software, which counts walls, openings and areas. Those quantities feed straight into a quote from a floor plan, line by line. Before choosing, compare FloorScan pricing: the Essential trial is free for 14 days.
