Bespoke Scaffolding Management System for B-MAT Scaffolding

B-MAT Scaffolding was founded in 2014 by a team of highly experienced scaffolding professionals. With more than a decade of industry expertise among its founding members, B-MAT quickly grew into a well-respected scaffolding provider operating across London, Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. As the company expanded, managing projects through spreadsheets, WhatsApp and multiple off-the-shelf tools became inefficient, time-consuming and prone to duplicated data.

To support continued growth and improve operational control, B-MAT asked New Media Aid to build a fully bespoke .NET web application to centralise the entire workflow — and later, to modernise their public website as a .NET Core Razor Pages application integrated with the job management system.

The Solution

New Media Aid delivered a purpose-built scaffolding management platform covering every stage of the workflow — from initial quote through to installation, inspection, handover and invoicing — with portals for scaffolders and inspectors and a real-time management dashboard.

Quoting & Job Creation

• Create and manage detailed scaffolding quotes
• Convert approved quotes directly into live jobs
• Track labour, materials and project stages from one place

Job & Project Management

• Full breakdown of installation steps and job status
• Assign teams, vehicle requirements and materials
• Upload and store project documentation and photos

Drag-and-Drop Scheduling

• Scheduling calendar for installation jobs
• Scheduling calendar for routine inspections
• Visual management of workload, resources and availability

Inspection Management

• Create customised inspection questionnaires
• Set mandatory questions and allowed response types
• Complete inspection reports online (including photos) via the inspector portal
• Track missed, late or upcoming inspections across all live sites

Billing, Payments & Credits

• Create and send invoices
• Manage payments, credit notes and outstanding balances
• Track chargeable call-outs and extra hire fees

Scaffolder Portal

• Daily job list for scaffolders
• Update job status in real time from site
• Upload photos and notes directly to the job record

Inspector Portal

• Daily inspection list
• Complete digital inspection reports on mobile
• Add photos, signatures and observations
• Sync instantly to the main system

Management Dashboard

A comprehensive dashboard gives real-time visibility across the business, including:

• Projects ready for scheduling (awaiting install)
• Live projects missing inspections
• Completed installations awaiting handover certificates
• Live jobs not fully invoiced
• Struck jobs not fully invoiced
• Awaiting inspection invoices
• Chargeable call-outs/repairs with no invoice
• Unscheduled strikes
• Extra hire charges awaiting invoicing
• Quotes sent but awaiting acceptance or decline

This dashboard enables B-MAT to make decisions quickly, reduce admin time, prevent revenue leakage, and maintain compliance with industry and safety requirements.

Modern .NET Core website integrated with live job data

After the back-office platform was established, New Media Aid also took over the B-MAT public website and rebuilt it as a modern .NET Core Razor Pages web application — tightly integrated with the job management system.

• Real-time case studies: completed jobs can be published to the website with structured content pulled from the live system
• SEO-ready location and service pages: designed around how customers actually search across London, Essex and Hertfordshire
• AI-friendly content structure: clear headings, concise summaries and consistent internal linking to help search engines and AI overviews understand the services
• Fast, maintainable architecture: a modern Razor Pages codebase aligned with long-term support and future enhancements

The result is a joined-up system: operational data flows into marketing content without duplication, the website stays fresh with real work, and prospective customers can discover relevant projects and services through organic search and AI-generated summaries — all backed by a single source of truth inside the business.
