London's Specialist Scaffold Design Consultancy
Node Group is based in Walthamstow, East London. Our team of 10 engineers has delivered over 5,000 scaffold designs across the capital — from heritage buildings in Kensington to high-rise commercial towers in Canary Wharf. We design for scaffold contractors, main contractors and developers who need more than a generic drawing.
Every project receives a full 3D model as standard. Not as an optional extra, not as an upsell — as part of the core deliverable. Our engineers build the scaffold digitally before it goes on site, catching clashes, confirming clearances and giving the erection team a complete visual reference alongside the 2D construction drawings and structural calculations.
You speak directly to the engineer designing your scaffold. No sales desk, no project manager relay, no call centre. The person who takes your brief is the person who produces your design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does scaffold design cost in London?+
It varies by complexity. A straightforward tube and fitting access scaffold is a different proposition to a complex heritage design or full temporary roof. We quote on a per-project basis after reviewing the brief. Every design includes full structural calculations and a 3D model as standard — there are no hidden extras.
Do you provide scaffold design for listed buildings?+
Yes. Heritage scaffold design is a core part of our work. We have designed scaffold for Grade I listed buildings including the Royal Albert Hall and LSO St Luke's, and Grade II* buildings including Woolwich Town Hall. Where ties into historic fabric are not permitted, we design freestanding scaffold solutions with engineered stability systems.
What areas of London do you cover?+
All of London. We are based in Walthamstow, East London, and our project portfolio covers the full spread of the capital — from Westminster to Canary Wharf, Vauxhall to Old Street, Kensington to Woolwich. We also cover the wider South East of England.
How quickly can you turn around a scaffold design?+
It depends on the project. Our Royal Albert Hall design went from brief to handover in 2 weeks. Simpler access scaffolds can be faster; complex heritage or temporary roof projects take longer. We are upfront about timescales from the first conversation.
