👋 Hey there, scaffold heroes — full throttle ahead.
No summer breaks here. While others slowed down, we kept the throttle open, and Scaffcalc is now trusted by new customers across the UK (Essential Scaffolding), Greece (Alfix Manousakis), Australia (Scaffold Design Australia), Belgium (Demscaf Échafaudages), and the Netherlands (a whole crew of new users).
It’s proof that speed, precision, and control matter everywhere, from Athens to Adelaide, from Manchester to Maastricht.
And we’re just getting started.
Here’s what’s new 👇

🔧 Fresh features
Component by component
Semi-new but growing fast, we’re updating it every week, adding components across suppliers.
Drawing tool
Export clean A4 and A3 drawings. Color-coded boxes make dimensions visible at a glance, no need to squint at numbers.
Quotation tool
Build and send quotes directly from Scaffcalc. Simple, professional, fast.
📁 Custom component folders
Create your own folder structure for components. Perfect for organizing sections and project stages. Group parts of your scaffold into folders (try naming them ‘Stage X’). One click on the eye, and the whole stage disappears, or reappears.
🎓 Learn & get inspired
Colorize your scene:
Under a bridge in Smögen, Viktor went wild with colors.
From our user Chriztoffer Marcusson (Xervon): his weekend project, complete with shark fins in the water.
As you can see, the possibilities are endless.
🇺🇸 On the road
We visited the SAIA Annual Convention and had a blast with our American scaffolders. Met legends, ate more brisket than humanly possible, and drove a truck so big it felt like a royal ship.

💅🏻 Smaller fixes that makes life easier
✅ Stair tool upgrades → You can now add diagonals and anchors.
✅ Passage updates → add clothing to passage tools.
✅ Auto language detection → Scaffcalc now picks the right language automatically. No more guessing menus in German.
✅ Measurement tool → You can now change the colors on your measurements. Just click and adjust in the right hand menu.
✅ Quotations → Cleaner UI, faster pagination, status lists, and better filters. Basically: less fiddling, more quoting.
✅ Drawing tool → Updates every week. This is a new tool, so make sure to give us feedback.
✅ Project page navigation → Breadcrumbs are now clickable. A small fix, but it saves you from getting lost like Hansel & Gretel.
✅ Standard regeneration → You can now update standards on top of basecollars with one click.
