NEW: Site documents rebuilt
Every site document has been checked against the regulations and given a cleaner screen and PDF.

• RAMS: Short or Full, with document control, emergency arrangements and a risk assessment that's always included
• POWRA, Safe Start, accident and near miss (with a RIDDOR guide), LOLER register, timesheets with a weekly payroll summary, toolbox talks, defects, harness checks and licence drawings
NEW: Getting paid

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.

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.

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.
