A big chunk of the cost is likely to be access (scaffolding, cherry
picker?).Â* Work out how you're going to do that first of all.

With scaffolding being on a daily rate, it may be cheaper to get a
pro who
can do it quickly, rather than learning as you go with the meter
running.

Scaffolding costs are primarily in the erection and dismantling. When
I last had some done, it was priced per month and the cost of keeping
it up longer, had I needed it, would have been minimal. Indeed, the
main problem seems to be in getting them to come to take it down if
they don't have another job they need it on.


Cheaper to leave it up than to dismantle to then have to take it to the
yard for storage

Especially if they rely on temporary Labour on a day rate, in which case
they might prefer to remove scaffolding and re-erect at the next site
on the same day by the same people.
