Scaffolding Area & Hire Calculator Nepal
Estimate elevation scaffolding area, number of lifts, and hire cost from façade size and monthly m² rates.
Net area
118.8 m²
Lifts
5
Hire cost
19,008 NPR
How this works
area = length × height × faces
net = area × (1+waste%)
hire = net × rate/m²/month × months
lifts = ceil(height / lift height)Worked example
12 × 9 m single face for 2 months at 80 NPR/m²/month with 10% waste → ~118.8 m² net hire area.

FAQ
How is scaffolding hire charged in Nepal?
Often by elevation area (m²) and duration (weeks/months), sometimes by set of frames. Enter your contractor’s NPR/m²/month to plan hire cost.
How do I measure scaffolding area?
Use façade length × scaffold height for each face, multiply by number of faces, and add a small access/waste factor.
What is a lift?
A vertical stage of scaffold. Dividing height by lift height gives a planning count of stages.
Does this include safety boards and nets?
Area-based hire may or may not include accessories. Confirm with the scaffold supplier.
When should scaffolding stay on hire?
Through plaster and external paint as needed. Idle months still cost — align with the phase budget.
