Milton Keynes Scaffolders Launch Digital Tool for On-Site Checks

A scaffolding company in Milton Keynes has developed its own digital tool to streamline inspections, reduce paperwork, and improve health and safety compliance.

Milton Keynes Scaffolding Specialists, a regional scaffolding contractor, developed ScaffApp as an internal solution to streamline on-site checks and minimise reliance on paper forms. The company says the app has become central to its operations, enabling digital management of daily inspections, handover certificates, harness checks, and equipment tracking.

The app, currently used only by the company’s teams, enables all records to be completed, stored, and accessed digitally. This has helped reduce administrative tasks, minimise errors, and provide management with better oversight of multiple projects.

The firm also claims the shift to digital processes has contributed to reducing paper waste and improving environmental sustainability.

“ScaffApp has been built by scaffolders, for scaffolders,” a company spokesperson said. “It’s tailored specifically to the tasks and challenges faced on site, rather than adapting off-the-shelf software.”

Milton Keynes Scaffolding Specialists is now planning to add new features, including a custom Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) builder and QR code-enabled scafftags.

These additions are designed to simplify compliance processes and further reduce administrative workload.

The company said it is considering offering ScaffApp to other scaffolding businesses on a subscription basis. The proposed service would target smaller firms often overlooked by larger software providers.

“Digital tools don’t have to be complicated,” the spokesperson added. “Our aim is to keep ScaffApp affordable and practical, especially for businesses that might not have access to other solutions.”

ScaffApp remains in-house for now, but the company hopes its eventual wider release will help other firms in the sector modernise their operations without significant cost or disruption.
