Construction is a highly competitive industry.
With the advent of sophisticated technology within the past 25 years, a construction company must stay abreast with recent scientific advances in order to gain an edge over its competition. Taking advantage of technological advances often allows a company to do things better, quicker, and cheaper than before. Since the construction process involves so many different tasks, equipment selection for each task becomes important, especially when new, innovative equipment produces the desired result quicker, safer, and more efficiently than its predecessor. Virtually every building constructed requires workers to be elevated to a height higher than a man on the ground in order to be built. Scaffolding, therefore, becomes a vital equipment selection to the process.
