With building owners desperate to stand out in the crowded market, especially in city environments, more are opting for a building facade to make their premise instantly identifiable.

With so many facades and unique artistic pieces popping up on buildings around the country, high-rise external lifting equipment is in high demand. This demand is only set to grow exponentially in the coming years as the modernisation of cities focuses more on adding personality to buildings to create a more distinguishable skyline.

Though this is great for facade installation companies and construction companies which specialise in this niche field, these installations can be time-consuming if the incorrect equipment is used. In effect, though more jobs will be available on the market, companies may not be able to keep up with this growth in demand, therefore letting competitors increase their market share.

Fortunately, Standard Access provides monorail systems and mast climbing equipment, which can take the guesswork out of facade installation. This state-of-the-art equipment has already proven to be successful across the industry and has helped many businesses see long-term success. They accomplish this by:

Less downtime on sites

Construction companies often have limited knowledge of what equipment they can install on their sites, especially with new, innovative equipment on the market. Mast climbers and monorails are the best solution, as they can be installed from the ground up almost instantaneously and without using a crane. Mast climbers and monorails can also save construction companies large amounts of money on what would otherwise be spent coordinating heavy equipment.

If there may be a concern with the function of the mast climber or monorail systems, construction companies are also encouraged to contact the Standard Access technicians. They will be happy to assist and provide maintenance and servicing where required to reduce the risk of downtime and keep the site operating to full capacity.

Cost Savings on the building facade

Without the use of Standard Access’ innovative equipment, construction companies would need to source multiple types of machinery to complete various aspects of their job. These call-out and contractor fees quickly stack up and can impede business profitability, particularly for bigger jobs.

As Standard Access considers all of the job requirements, the high access solutions will allow the whole job to be completed without needing other equipment. This means that one installation will be enough to complete the entire job and that company owners can take home more profit to reinvest into their business.

Increased efficiency

The Standard Access team will work directly with your worksite targets to customise access solutions that meet your demands. In fact, the installation carried out by Standard Access is the most advanced in the industry and can guarantee that all areas of your facade works can be accessed simultaneously, regardless of how expansive the design may be.

With multiple contractors working simultaneously, this then significantly reduces lead times on site. For example, in the past, when using heavy machinery, facade installation teams may have only had the capacity to work on one side of a building at once, meaning the work could take months to complete. With access across all workable areas of the building, mast climb systems can ensure your job is completed as quickly as possible, so you can take on more work, increase market share and assist more clients in their facade installations.

Reducing injury on site

Operating high-rise construction sites can be a large risk for companies and facade installation teams. With the threat of falls and injury, many companies may lose significant profits in work compensation if they don’t provide a safe environment for their contractors.

The mast climbing platforms and monorail systems provided by the Standard Access team are incredibly safe to operate and have been tested against the strictest OH&S standards. Though they are easy to operate, all those working on the mast climbing platforms will also receive training from the Standard Access team to ensure they use the equipment safely and efficiently. This training program is short but covers all of the basics, meaning staff will be well educated without sacrificing significant work time and profits. All facilitated training will come with the appropriate documentation to show that construction companies adhered to their due diligence requirements.
