Scaffold Marlborough Ltd took out the prize for the Commercial Job of The Year $0-50k at the 2025 SARNZ awards.

We take a lot of pride in getting the job done right, and it is truely humbling to be recognised by our peers in the New Zealand scaffolding community for achieving such a high standard.

This project had a little bit of everything, cranes, barges, emersion in water, working in an active port environment, limited access and difficult building conditions.

Working with our in-house design team, our fully qualified and experienced staff, our client, and the team at Layher NZ we were able to come up with an “outside the box” solution for a difficult and challenging build.

With good planning and preparation, everything worked out perfectly, and we were able to provide a solution to our client that exceeded expectations.

Big thanks to the judges, and congratulations to our team and all those who helped make this happen.

👷🏽‍♂️🏗️🛠️🚢💪👏🏆🥇

Following the government's announcement on Monday this week regarding looking into scaffolding regulations and the cost of scaffolding to the building and construction sector in NZ, it is worth examining what we have achieved in this sector over recent years.

Below is a link to an article by Chris Alderson (CEO, Construction Health and Safety New Zealand) on how we compare to the UK and Australia in terms of height safety.

Considering that NZ ranks behind both the UK and Australia in terms of overall workplace harm, this article makes interesting reading for those interested in keeping themselves and their workers safe, particularly when working at height.

In Loving Memory – David Spice

It is with immense sadness that we share the passing of one of our founding members, Life Member, and absolute industry legend, David Spice.

David wasn’t just part of the scaffolding industry. He helped build it. As one of the founding members of SARNZ, he laid the groundwork for what has become a thriving national community, committed to safety, standards, and support. He gave decades of his life to this industry, not for recognition, but because he believed in doing things the right way, and lifting others up along the way. Over the decades, David would have personally trained and supported hundreds of scaffolders through their tickets. His impact is felt in every corner of the industry, in the yards, on the sites, and in the confidence of those he helped guide through their careers. He was deeply respected, quietly humble, and fiercely committed to doing things the right way. He set a standard not just in scaffolding, but in leadership and integrity.

Our love and thoughts are with his children, Laurie, Vadim, Kirk, Vaughn, Clete and Taryn, and the entire Spice whānau. The strength of David’s character lives on in them, and in the legacy he leaves behind across the industry.

Arrangements are currently being made, with the funeral on 25th July in Christchurch. More details to come for time and venue. We encourage everyone who knew David to join us in farewelling a true legend of our industry. A formal tribute will also take place at this year’s SARNZ Conference, following kōrero with his whānau.

Haere rā, David. Your legacy will forever remain part of our foundations.
