SCAFFOLDING
An experienced crew can move 100 feet to the next wall in about 1.5 hours.
Elevating scaffolding also has brought labor savings to the scaffold-erection and dismantling side of the equation. It is built once, and then moved from wall to wall with a forklift. Moving elevating scaffolding is, typically, four times faster than frames (at one-quarter of the cost). An experienced crew can move 100 feet to the next wall in about 1.5 hours. It also requires about one-third as many planks as frames.
