As such, it can be difficult to determine at what stage of the scaffolding process design drawings should be completed.

Scaffolding is an integral requirement in most construction projects. For scaffolding to be safe and useful, its design should be practical and must pass safety inspections for approval. Advances in AI-assisted 3D modelling have yielded numerous inexpensive scaffolding design software applications, which are changing scaffolding design methods in numerous ways.
Mistakes happen. They’re natural, but when it comes to scaffold designs, mistakes can be dangerous.
Cat I, Cat II & Cat III are categories to check these designs and make sure that this doesn't happen.
The different formats and structural components of scaffolding can make a significant difference to site safety, but also to the flow of work that they support.
