Independent eyes on your scaffold — before it costs you.
30+ years in scaffolding, on the contractor side and now independent. I help clients plan properly, catch technical and commercial risk early, and avoid the mistakes that get expensive on site.
30 years on the contractor side. Now working for you.
DK Scaffolding Advisory is an independent scaffolding and temporary works consultancy serving clients across Ireland. With over 30 years' industry experience, I help clients plan scaffolding properly from the start, spot technical and commercial risk early, and avoid costly mistakes.
Most recently, in a senior commercial role with a leading Irish scaffolding contractor, I was involved in tendering projects worth over €30 million, contributing to around €4–5 million in successful awards. My focus now is giving clients clear, practical advice — so the scaffold is safe, buildable, and properly priced.
Industries supported include pharma, healthcare, commercial construction, power generation, data centres, industrial maintenance, and public sector projects.
As a member of the CIF and NASC, I stay current with the latest industry standards, technical guidance, and regulatory developments.
