How scaffolding contractors use SiteLens

Quote access before the job kicks off

A granted extension, loft or re-roof needs scaffolding within weeks. Set a Decision updates alert and SiteLens emails you when a scheme is approved, so you can get a quote in before the homeowner or builder rings around.

Cover a whole region from one map

Scaffolding is a volume, radius-driven business. Set a radius around your yard and see every relevant application on the map each morning, filtered by type and scale.

Catch the bigger, longer hires

Commercial refurbishments and new-build blocks mean long scaffold hires. Filter to major and commercial schemes to find the contracts worth chasing, and approach the main contractor early.

What you get from day one

Map-first search

Every application in your region, on one map. Filter by category, value band and proximity, or just type what you want in plain English and SiteLens builds the filter for you.

Classified for your trade

Works tags name the trades every scheme implies, with category, estimated value and a plain-English project brief. Know what it’s worth before you open it.

Daily email alerts

Set your criteria once. New matching applications arrive in your inbox each morning, each with its project brief and why it matched.

Who to contact

Each scheme shows the developer, agent and main contractor behind it, with their matched Companies House record. Pro adds the contact details published by the council or firm, plus nearby public contracts and awards, so you know who to approach and when.
