Intuitive

A progression of simple steps that walk you through defining, counting, and drawing your scaffold projects.

1. Define the Structure

You begin by defining the structure that you want to provide access to. Pictures guide you through the dimensions needed.

2. Choose Materials

Frame and brace materials catalogs are pre-defined. All you need to do is select a manufacturer to see the available parts and lengths. The scaffold is automatically fit to the properties you define.

3. Configure Platform Levels

Configuring your platform levels is a snap. Our intuitive, learnable user interface allows you to focus on the scaffold you need.

4. Check Leg Load

FrameWall unlocks the mystery behind leg load calculations and allows you to define and view loads previously limited to engineers.

Draw and Count

Part numbers and quantities for the manufacturer you selected are determined in a snap. To create a drawing is easy and accomplished by clicking on the "Draw in Visio" button. If all you need is the materials list then click on the BidMaker button.
