🛖 TEMPORARY ROOF SYSTEMS
A simple way to showcase your roof
Pulpet roof
Create supporting scaffold structure
Counter-weights
Send it to our engineering department
...
Bridging Tool
Bridge over garages, doorways, or driveways in seconds. Beam setups follow supplier manuals for Layher, HAKI, MJ-Gerüst, Scafom-rux & co.
⚡ Result: Go from “Can you send me a quote?” to “When can you start?” in minutes.
💭 PROJECT PLANNING — Clarity on site, precision in design
Horisontal diagonals
Industrial projects
Color-coded bays for faster assembly
Give your crew instant visual clarity. Change colors globally or per project — so everyone builds the same way.
Build fall protection on roofs
See new components in green before locking them in. Works for ledgers, beams, couplers — everything.
Opacity on buildings — create windows
Use the Hoist tool to place your vertical transport exactly where you want it.
From our super-users
This feature has been moved and you can find it in your projects view.
🎓 ENGINEERING
FEM (structural) calculations are being tested on large sites right now.
It’s taking longer than planned — because we’re making it bulletproof.
We’re opening 10 spots for scaffold engineers to join the beta.
Want in? Fill out the form below and tell us why you should be picked.
💬 Result: Engineering-grade safety and precision, right inside Scaffcalc.
🇺🇸 World of Concrete — Las Vegas
We met Swedish legends, laughed too loud, and had a beer or nine.
Big thanks to everyone who stopped by. You made it unforgettable.

🎨 Artwork of the Week
The future of scaffolding? Perhaps a robot or two. Or why not a whole scaffolding city?
❤️ Thank you.
We’re building Scaffcalc with and for you, our brilliant scaffolders and project leads.
Let us know what you think, and keep pushing the limits of what’s possible.
