Why Proper Scaffolding is Crucial for NYC Construction Projects

Scaffolding is more than just temporary support—it’s a critical safety measure required by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). Without DOB-compliant scaffolding, construction sites risk:
✔ Fines and violations from city inspectors
✔ Worker injuries from falls or collapses
✔ Property damage due to improper support

Our scaffolding services in NYC ensure:
✅ Full compliance with DOB & OSHA regulations
✅ Weekly inspections for structural integrity
✅ Custom designs for complex projects
✅ Safe access for workers and pedestrians
