The “All-Out Package” – One Company, Seven Services, Zero Headaches

When it comes to construction, roofing, remediation, façade replacement, insurance repairs, or major residential renovations, there is one thing almost every project has in common: You need multiple temporary works and access solutions working together at the same time.

At Stronghold Hire, we often have clients using three or four of our services on a single project. Some use scaffold and edge protection. Others combine shrink wrap encapsulation with temporary stairs and rubbish chutes. Some insurance projects need almost everything. But amazingly we are still waiting for the first client to go completely “all out” and request all seven services at once:

1. Steel Scaffold
2. Lightweight Aluminium Scaffold
3. Rubbish Chutes
4. Shrink Wrap Encapsulation
5. Temporary Stair Access
6. Anchor Point Installation
7. Temporary Edge Protection

The funny thing is — many projects genuinely could benefit from all seven. And when they are all supplied by one contractor, the advantages are massive.

One Point of Contact = Less Stress

Construction projects already involve builders, roofers, painters, engineers, certifiers, trades, suppliers, councils, neighbours and clients. The last thing anyone needs is:

• One company handling scaffold
• Another company doing edge protection
• Another company installing anchor points
• Another company supplying stairs
• Another company delivering rubbish chutes

Before long, you are coordinating five different suppliers, five different delivery schedules, five different invoices, and five different sets of paperwork. With Stronghold Hire, everything can be organised through one single point of contact. One phone call. One quote. One install schedule. One inspection process. One team.

That means:

• Less administration
• Faster communication
• Fewer delays
• Less confusion onsite
• Less chance of trades blaming each other
• Less chance of scheduling errors

And most importantly, a much smoother project overall.

Why It Is Always Cheaper Using One Contractor

Many people assume using multiple specialist companies may somehow save money. In reality, the opposite is normally true. When one contractor supplies multiple services, there are major efficiencies that reduce costs across the board.

Shared Labour
If our team is already onsite installing scaffold, it is far more efficient to:

• install edge protection at the same time,
• fit rubbish chutes during erection,
• install temporary stairs simultaneously,
• prepare anchor points while access is available.

Instead of paying multiple companies to mobilise separately, the labour overlaps.

Shared Transport Costs
Every separate contractor means:

• additional trucks,
• additional fuel,
• additional loading/unloading,
• additional travel time,
• additional traffic management in some cases.

When everything comes from Stronghold Hire, transport is consolidated into fewer deliveries and collections. That saves real money.

Shared Engineering & Planning
These services are heavily intertwined. For example:

• Shrink wrap encapsulation directly affects scaffold engineering due to wind loading.
• Temporary stairs often integrate into the scaffold design.
• Edge protection frequently connects into scaffold structures.
• Anchor points may rely on scaffold access for installation.
• Rubbish chutes are often mounted directly from scaffold.
• Aluminium scaffold may be needed internally while steel scaffold is used externally.

When all systems are planned together from day one, the project becomes: safer, cleaner,more efficient and more cost-effective.

These Services Are All Connected

One of the biggest misconceptions in construction is thinking these services are separate. In reality, they constantly rely on one another.

Scaffold + Shrink Wrap: Shrink wrap encapsulation is only possible because of scaffold. The scaffold supports the wrap, while the wrap dramatically changes the wind loads acting on the scaffold. That means both systems must work together.
Scaffold + Temporary Stairs: Large projects often require safe access between levels for workers and emergency egress. Temporary stair systems are commonly built directly into the scaffold structure.
Scaffold + Rubbish Chutes: Demolition and roofing projects regularly require rubbish chutes connected directly to scaffold systems for stability and access. Without the scaffold, the chute often cannot function safely or efficiently.
Edge Protection + Anchor Points Temporary edge protection and anchor points both form part of a project’s fall protection strategy.
Aluminium Scaffold + Steel Scaffold: Many projects use both. Steel scaffold is often ideal externally for heavy-duty access and loading requirements, while lightweight aluminium scaffold may be perfect internally where: access is tight, floor loading matters or fast relocation is required. Having both available through one supplier makes life much easier.

Sometimes one system backs up the other. Sometimes one system is installed using access provided by the other. Again — they are heavily connected.

One Monthly Inspection Instead of Multiple

This is one of the most underrated advantages. When several companies supply temporary works onsite, you can end up with separate inspection schedules, separate paperwork,separate compliance systems, separate inspection tags and separate reports. That becomes messy quickly.

With Stronghold Hire supplying multiple systems, inspections can often be streamlined into:

• one coordinated 30-day inspection
• one inspection schedule
• one set of documentation
• one organised compliance process

That means less disruption onsite and far less admin for builders and site managers.

Faster Problem Solving

Construction rarely goes exactly to plan. Designs change. Trades run late. Weather hits. Programs shift. When multiple contractors are involved, even small changes can turn into:

• endless phone calls
• rescheduling
• arguments over responsibility
• costly delays

When Stronghold Hire supplies the full package, solutions happen much faster because our systems are designed to work together from the beginning. One call and it gets handled.
