Unauthorized Scaffold Removal Rights

Summary

If a scaffold is erected without permission, you may have the right to remove it, depending on any existing contracts or agreements. Attempt to resolve the issue with the scaffolder in writing first. If unresolved, consider hiring another scaffolder to remove it. Keep records of all communications. Consult a local lawyer for detailed advice.

Hi Stephen!
You might have the right to remove the scaffold, but it depends on the circumstances. Here are some key points:
- Check if there's a contract or agreement.
- Contact the scaffolder in writing to resolve the issue.
- If no resolution, consider hiring another scaffolder.
- Keep evidence of all communications.
