Delivering projects to the highest standards across the whole range of scaffolding requirements. 0508 SUMMIT SCAFFOLDING • Health & Safety • Commercial Scaffolding 0508 SUMMIT (786648) | summitscaffolding.co.nz - NORTHLAND | AUCKLAND | WAIKATO | TAURANGA / BOP • Propping & Shore Loading • Equipment Hire / Sales • Industrial Scaffolding • Residential Scaffolding Scaffolding without compromise Summit Scaffolding has played a key role in the delivery of Summerset Retirement Village projects across New Zealand, with its work at the St Johns development in Auckland highlighting its ability to adapt to complex requirements and challenging conditions. “Two thirds of the way through the St Johns project, the client requested a full encapsulation of the build,” explains one of Summit Scaffolding’s owners John Scott. “This involved large-span roof coverings in a high velocity wind zone, requiring precise engineering and rapid adjustment to programme. Because of the quality of our scaffolding systems and design approach, we were able to meet the challenge, enabling the client to maintain and improve its construction timeline.” The St Johns project is a multi-year contract and alongside this Summit Scaffolding is also working on Summerset projects in Cambridge and Milldale. John says the consistency of work across these sites reflects a long-standing relationship between the two organisations and a shared focus on safety and efficient programme delivery. “Summerset is a great client to work with,” says John. “We’ve enabled it to deliver to project timelines and been able to pivot to meet requirements as necessary. It’s a very collaborative approach.” Summit Scaffolding, owned by John and business partner Bruce Pickerill, has built a reputation as one of New Zealand’s leading scaffolding specialists. Its workforce includes nearly 150 direct employees and up to 200 scaffolders supported by around 20 subcontractors to meet national demand. It delivers services across residential, commercial, industrial and civil sectors, positioning itself as more than a scaffolding provider by focusing on engineered access solutions tailored to each project. The company utilises a range of advanced scaffold systems including Kwikstage, Vertemax, KGUARD and Layher, providing flexibility for complex builds. According to John these systems allow it to develop customised access solutions across projects of varying scale and complexity. What distinguishes Summit Scaffolding further is its commitment to safety and training. John says the company sets standards above industry norms, including wider working platforms of at least one metre compared with the typical 750mm requirement. Its training regime includes scaffolding qualifications, Site Safe certification, Working at Height standards, first aid, MEWP and confined space training, ensuring a highly skilled workforce across sites on a continuous basis. With a fleet of 75 vehicles and large-scale resourcing capability, John says Summit Scaffolding continues to support major developments nationwide and strengthening its long-term presence in the sector. “With a commitment to safety and excellence, Summit Scaffolding continues to set the bar high in the industry, ensuring that our clients receive the very best in quality and service.”
