Our Purpose
"Engineering Value Together"
There’s so much we'd like to tell you, but let’s keep it simple.
48.3 has been built – from the ground up – to make life easier for our clients. We transform sites into safe, efficient, risk-mitigated working areas. Our aim is to help you to win more work, minimise costs and timeframes, and produce long-term competitive advantages.
A 48.3 design is not just a great drawing, but a complete solution that works as well on site as it does on paper.
We want to deliver better scaffolding solutions by "Engineering Value Together".

Working with Our Values
"What this means to us" are the summary statements and explanations given by our team (all roles, all individuals) to explain what the values mean to them and how they go about living them every day. We hold each other accountable to these values and everyone is accountable to each other.
If you can relate to the values and what they mean to us, if you like the idea of working in this way, if you'd like to try them out? Then we'll likely be a great fit and we would love to hear from you and work with you. Either way, we welcome your thoughts and feedback.
Our Ethos
We are constantly searching for the best way to do things and always enjoy learning something new. We love self-improvement and you can learn something from everyone. 48.3 want to change our industry. We want something better, where design properly considers its environment and the interfaces around it, and the tough challenges faced by scaffolders every single day working hard to erect our designs safely and efficiently.
Part 1: We believe scaffold designs are for the scaffolder - everything works from this starting point.
Part 2: We believe scaffold designs are not just a great drawing, they are a complete solution that considers the interfaces around the scaffold, any other elements of temporary works in the vicinity, and its effect on the permanent structure throughout its life cycle. This is the 48.3 definition of a 'complete solution'.
