Site compliance
• Compliance: every scaffold that's up, checked for an inspection in the last 7 days, a tie test, a TG20 sheet or design, RAMS signed by everyone, a signed handover and before-work photos. A score for the firm, what to sort first and the button that sorts it. On the office website and on each job.
• RAMS signed on site: the lead briefs the squad, they scan a QR code, tap their name and sign on their own phones, or on the lead's. See who's signed and when, and remind the lead. The RAMS PDF shows each signature with its time.
• Before-work photos: at On site, the lead photographs the site as found, stamped with the date, time and address, with any damage already there circled. A PDF on the job and in the client portal, sent to the client in one tap.
• Engineering designs: upload the engineer's drawings and calculations to the job, with revisions kept. The lead always has the current one, and the client can see it in the portal.
Team and planning
• Leave in one tap: holiday, sick or other for any scaffolder, today or booked ahead, with Back early. If they're on bookings while they're off, you're told which.
• Gangs: loading a gang leaves out anyone on leave that day, stars the usual chargehand and brings the usual vans and lorries. See who's already on another job that day. Each gang has its own colour on the schedule.
• Vans and lorries on each booking, with their usual drivers, on the day view, the day sheet and the lead's job.
• Timesheets fill themselves from the week's bookings.
• Office website: plan the week by gang and drag bookings between days and gangs.
Weather
• High winds and Met Office warnings: tap the alert for what to do before and after the wind and which of your scaffolds are in its path, and send it to the team.

What's new in 4.6
CLIENT REQUESTS IN THE PORTAL
Your clients can now ask you to remove or alter their scaffold, or report a problem, straight from their client portal. They pick a preferred date, add access notes and photos, and you get a push notification. Nothing is booked until you confirm the date.
VARIATIONS APPROVED ONLINE
Price an alteration, or tap Send variation on any job. Your client approves it in their portal with their name, gets a PDF record, and you add it to the invoice in one tap.
BEAM WORK YOUR WAY
Put beams at any lift, not just the first. Switch the intermediate support legs off when there's nowhere to land them. Both beam ends now sit on doubled standards on every drawing.
GABLE LIFTS
Add a hop-up of 1 to 3 lifts over part of any elevation to reach a gable or chimney. It's drawn boarded, guarded, tied and braced on both drawings, and added to your load list.
Plus fixes and improvements to notifications and the client portal.
TG20 PRO drawings – open any scaffold drawing and tap TG20 PRO drawing for a full A3 working drawing: plan, every elevation, section A-A, sole board and tie details, and your logo in the title block, with the TG20:21 compliance sheet as page 2. Drawings outside TG20:21 limits are clearly marked as needing a bespoke design.
3D designer – set a different scaffold length on each side, give every lift its own height (e.g. 2.0, 1.0, 0.8 m) and choose which lifts are boarded. Ladders go straight past unboarded lifts.
7.5 tonne PCN appeals – in Documents → Company / HR, photograph a weight-limit PCN, pick the delivery job and your appeal letter is ready to copy.
Holidays at a glance – see who is off now and in the next 2 weeks in Scaffolders, with a warning if you book someone who is away.
Fixes – marking invoices paid now saves (please re-mark any paid invoices); no more duplicate invoices or skipped invoice numbers; editing a job keeps its inspection dates and DO NOT USE status; no duplicate schedule bookings; beam work now shows on drawing PDFs; Home loads offline.

What's New in ScaffDocs 4.3.0
Client Portal — invite clients to view their compliance documents online with a single secure link. They can see inspections, RAMS, handovers, invoices and more, any time, with no password needed. Manage access, update shared document types or revoke at any time from the job screen.
Multi-scaffold sites — one portal link now covers all scaffolds at the same address. Clients can tap into each scaffold and see its own documents separately — front elevation, rear elevation, tower and so on.
Schedule by scaffold — the schedule job picker now shows each scaffold by name on multi-scaffold sites, so you can book visits individually.
Various improvements and fixes
4.3 Sep 22
- Scaffold Tag History: every tag you generate is now tracked for good, even if the job is later deleted. Recover an old scaffold in one tap from Job Register → Tag history, and see active, dismantled and orphaned tags at a glance.
- Job Register quick actions: new pill row for Clients, Scan tag, Tag history and Share — right above the search bar instead of tucked away in unlabelled icons.
- Scheduled jobs now read properly: a job booked for a future date used to show negative days and "Erected" before it existed. Now it reads "Scheduled for" / "Starts in N days" across the register, the job screen and the PDF pack.
- Safer deletes: deleting a job with a scaffold tag now warns you first and points to Tag History for recovery — an accidental delete no longer means a re-print or a site visit.
4.2 Sep 17
- A3 drawing sheet: turn any scaffold drawing into a proper layout drawing with title block, general notes, revisions table and client block. Great for licence submissions.
- Revisions on drawings: track every change with a letter, date and detail. Auto-picks Rev A on first save, then B, C…
- L-shape corner fix: rewrote how L, U and 4-sided scaffolds set out at corners so the plan and elevation always agree. Choose Equal bays or Full bays.
- Add to Job Register from the 3D Designer: from your saved designs, the three-dot menu now carries site, client, description, notes and quote ref straight into a new job.
- Cleaner compliance page on both the A4 pack and the new A3 sheet, and a fix for the header banner that was clipping on the right edge.
4.1 Sep 14

SHARED 3D DESIGNS HISTORY
Every 3D design you send to a client is now tracked. See who received the link, how many times they viewed it, and when. Revoke old links so unwon quotes stop working — protects your designs when you don't get the job. Filter by active or revoked, search by site name, and delete old ones you don't need.
DAY VIEW IMPROVEMENTS
Booking cards on the day view now show the site address full-width so long addresses never truncate. Status pills and work type sit cleanly on the row below. New "Copy confirmation link" button on each card.
