Metal scaffolding is safer and preferred over bamboo scaffolding, despite higher costs. A new framework helps project managers select the best scaffolding by considering various factors for construction projects.

Area of Science:

  • Construction Management
  • Engineering

Background:

  • Bamboo scaffolding is economical but has a poor safety record in Asia.
  • Metal scaffolding is safer but more expensive, leading to increased usage.
  • Selecting appropriate scaffolding is a key concern for project managers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a comprehensive assessment framework for scaffolding selection.
  • To aid project managers in making informed decisions considering multiple factors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology.
  • Conducted a survey among project managers in Hong Kong.

Main Results:

  • Metal scaffolding is perceived to have better overall performance than bamboo scaffolding.
