Please note 3D models and scheduled Chimney Scaffolds and temporary roof scaffolds are only available in tube and fitting. For system scaffolds, please refer to the system scaffolding section by clicking here for more information.
In the scaffolds view, you can schedule an attached chimney scaffold by selecting it from the second page of the menu of scaffold types. This will only allow for the throw-in walkway and access to the chimney. If required you can add a Tied tower from the scaffold menu to estimate for this element.
If required you can add a Tied tower from the scaffold menu to estimate for this element. You can also add a Chimney Stack with a Tied Tower attached to it using Model IT, for further information please refer to the Adding a Chimney Stack documentation. (Coming Soon)
Upon adding an Attached Chimney Scaffold, an additional menu is available for editing the dimensions and details. This differs from the other scaffold types which are edited in the main table.
If you wish to access the chimney scaffold’s dimension menu after it has been closed down, click on your chimney scaffold row in the table to highlight it. This will open the chimney scaffold’s dimension menu.
After opening the chimney scaffold’s dimension menu, you can edit the following dimensions and details:
| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| Length | The length of the chimney span |
| Height | The height of the building’s chimney from the roof. |
| Width | The width of the chimney. |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Chimney access | The number of sides of the chimney access is required for. |
| Walkway length | Distance from the eaves to the nearest chimney face. |
| Gable height | The height of the gable from the eaves supporting the chimney stack. |
| Access Direction | Choose between accessing the scaffold walkway from the gable or from the eaves. |
| No. boards | Width of the chimney stack scaffold in boards. |
| Cladding | Tick to add cladding and then select one of the options to add either sheeting or debris netting. |
| Fully brickguarded | Select this option to add brick guards. |
You can schedule a mono pitch Temporary roof by selecting the Temporary roof scaffold on the second page of the menu of scaffold types in scaffolds view. This will only allow for a single pitched temporary roof span of beams and cladding. You will need to estimate the supporting scaffold requirements separately using the Independent scaffold type.
Upon adding an Attached Chimney Scaffold, an additional menu is available for editing the dimensions and details. This differs from the other scaffold types which are edited in the main table.
If you wish to access the temporary roof’s dimension menu after it has been closed down, click on your Temporary roof scaffolds row in the table to highlight it, this will open the dimension menu for the temporary roof.
After opening the temporary roof’s dimension menu, you can edit the following dimensions and details:
| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| Length | The length of the roof span. |
| Width | The width of the roof span. |
| Pitch | The angle of the roof span, e.g. 15 degrees. |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Base height | The height of the lowest side of the roof from the ground. |
| Maximum beam spacing | Your preferred limit on beam spacing. |
| Plan bracing frequency | How often plan bracing is repeated through the temporary roof bays. |
| Maximum Span length | Distance between the beam connections along the beam span. |
| Roof covering | Choose between Sheeting or Corrugated sheets. |
In SMART Estimator, it is not possible to add automated models or schedule items for Temporary Roof scaffolds and Chimney scaffolds for System scaffolds, such as Layher or Cuplok. For system scaffold users, we offer a manual option for both Chimney scaffolds and Temporary roof scaffolds.
On the Scaffold view screen, you can add these manual scaffolds types from the second page of the Scaffold menu (only after selecting a system scaffold configuration for the item).
Length, Height, and Width can be entered manually. However, no 3D model or material list will be generated.
Instead, material requirements must be manually entered using the Add extra materials option, pricing can be added in the cost analysis view, and quotation descriptions must be entered manually by hand.
For more information, please refer to adding manual scaffolds and items (coming soon) documentation.
