Estimating the materials for scaffolding and staging is somewhat difficult considering the volume and various parts involved. The computation requires time and wider imagination in counting the different parts of the structure such as the vertical and horizontal support, the diagonal braces plus the blocks and wedges which are not shown even on a detailed plan of the building.
The usual practice of most estimator is to make an estimate by either the quantity of the materials or by lump sum amount in the bill of materials for forms and staging.
