About Us
Our Story
What Drives Us
South Coast Scaffolding was built from the ground up with a clear goal — to deliver affordable high-quality scaffolding services across Otago. What started as a small crew in Dunedin quickly earned a name for reliability and hard mahi. Our team is made up of experienced scaffolders who understand what local builders and homeowners need — quick response times strong safety standards and jobs done right the first time.
We believe that great service goes beyond just putting up steel. It’s about honest communication showing up when we say we will and supporting other local trades along the way. That’s why we’re open every day and available for urgent jobs even over the holidays. We’re here to help your project succeed — rain or shine.

What Our Clients Say
5-Star Reviews
"Extremely Helpful"
We worked with Shannon and his team when we renovated our home last year. Shannon was extremely helpful, always approachable and available. He also went out of his way and offered his services to personally help us lift windows into place outside of working hours. All staff were diligent and Shannon was very well priced. Thank you for a great experience Shannon.
