Every build, renovation, or maintenance project in Wellington that involves work at height needs scaffolding that is safe, well-positioned, and ready on time. At Erect It Scaffolding, we deliver all three — every single job.
Safety Is the Foundation of Everything
Our SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certification is the highest safety accreditation in the New Zealand scaffolding industry. It means our crew, our equipment, and our processes are independently assessed and verified to meet the highest standards.
Every scaffolding we erect is:
- Inspected before handover
- Compliant with WorkSafe NZ's Working at Height regulations
- Equipped with proper handrails, kick boards, and access ladders
- Tied to the structure at the required intervals
If WorkSafe arrives on your site, you have nothing to worry about.
Efficiency: On Time, Every Time
A scaffolding that isn't ready when your tradesperson arrives costs money. We understand this. Our commitment is to erect your scaffolding on the agreed day, so your project doesn't lose a single day to access issues.
For most Wellington residential jobs, we can have scaffolding up within 1–2 working days of booking confirmation.
