Not all scaffolding is created equal. The requirements for a home renovation project differ greatly from those on a multi-storey commercial build. Choosing the right type of scaffold hire saves money, keeps workers safe, and ensures compliance. At Alulite Scaffolding, based in Malaga, WA, we provide both residential and commercial scaffold hire across Perth, helping clients complete projects safely and efficiently.
What Is Residential Scaffold Hire?
Residential scaffold hire is ideal for smaller projects such as roof repairs, painting, extensions, or maintenance work. These systems are:
- Lightweight and easy to set up
- Flexible to fit around homes, fences, and garages
- Available for short-term hire, often days or weeks
- Cost-effective for tradies and homeowners
At Alulite Scaffolding, we regularly supply residential scaffolding to homeowners and builders across Perth who need safe access without overspending.
What Is Commercial Scaffold Hire?
Commercial scaffolding is designed for larger, more complex projects such as office towers, shopping centres, and industrial facilities. These systems are:
- Heavy-duty to carry large loads
- Engineered for unique project requirements
- Installed and dismantled by licensed scaffolders
- Hired for long-term projects lasting months
- Backed by rigorous inspections and safety checks
Alulite Scaffolding’s commercial scaffold hire team works closely with builders, engineers, and project managers to deliver tailored solutions that keep large-scale projects running smoothly.
Key Differences Between Residential and Commercial Scaffold Hire
- Scale and Load Capacity – Residential systems handle lighter loads; commercial scaffolds support multiple workers, tools, and heavy materials.
- Design and Customisation – Commercial scaffolding often requires engineered solutions, while residential systems are simpler.
- Safety Requirements – Commercial sites demand stricter compliance and regular inspections.
- Hire Duration and Cost – Residential hire is shorter and more affordable, while commercial projects need long-term, heavy-duty systems.
