Our Values
Safety Leads Every Decision
Work at height is unforgiving. We double-check anchors, tie patterns, and access points so your teams stay protected. Every scaffold installation includes a thorough safety inspection and documented handover to ensure compliance with WorkSafe New Zealand standards.
Practical Solutions First
There is always a smarter way to stage a project. We engineer scaffold installations so other trades can move freely and finish faster. Our team works closely with builders and project managers to design access solutions that support efficient workflows.
Transparent Communication
Clear scopes, photo sign-offs, and proactive updates keep builders, quantity surveyors, and homeowners aligned. We believe in honest communication about timelines, costs, and any challenges that may arise during a project.

Why Choose Aktis Scaffolding
When you choose Aktis Scaffolding, you get a team that genuinely cares about the success of your project. We understand that scaffolding is not just about providing access - it's about enabling your builders, painters, and tradespeople to work safely and efficiently.
Our scaffolds are designed for Wellington conditions, taking into account coastal winds, steep terrain, and tight urban sites. Our supervisors walk every site, confirm load paths, and brief crews before installation begins. The result is scaffold installations that look as professional as they perform.

Our Approach to Scaffolding Projects
Every scaffolding project begins with a thorough site assessment. Our supervisors visit your property to understand the access requirements, identify potential hazards, and design the most appropriate scaffold configuration for your specific needs.
We take the time to understand your project timeline, the trades that will be using the scaffold, and any special requirements you may have. This attention to detail ensures the scaffold we install supports your project goals and enables efficient work at height.
After installation, we provide comprehensive handover documentation including safety inspection certificates, load capacity information, and guidelines for scaffold use. Our team remains available throughout the hire period for modifications, inspections, and any support you need.
Residential Scaffolding Experience
Our residential scaffolding experience spans thousands of projects across Wellington suburbs. We have installed scaffolds on heritage villas in Thorndon, hillside homes in Kelburn and Karori, townhouses in Newtown and Island Bay, and modern builds across the Hutt Valley and Kapiti Coast.
Residential projects require a careful balance of providing safe access while minimising disruption to homeowners and neighbours. Our experienced team handles challenging site conditions including steep driveways, limited access, and close proximity to neighbouring properties.
For residential clients, we offer flexible scheduling, weekend installations when required, and clear communication throughout the project. We treat your property with respect and leave sites clean after installation and removal.
Commercial Scaffolding Experience
Our commercial scaffolding experience includes projects for construction companies, property developers, facility managers, and government agencies. We have provided scaffolding for office buildings in Wellington CBD, retail developments in Porirua, apartment complexes in Lower Hutt, and industrial facilities across the region.
Commercial clients appreciate our professional approach to project coordination, detailed safety documentation, and ability to meet demanding construction schedules. We work closely with site managers to coordinate scaffold installations around other trades and activities.
For commercial projects, we provide full compliance documentation, regular safety inspections, and responsive service for modifications and extensions throughout the project duration.
Our Equipment and Systems
Aktis Scaffolding uses modern INTAKS scaffolding systems designed for versatility, safety, and efficiency. Our equipment is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure all components meet the highest safety standards.
The INTAKS system allows for rapid assembly and reconfiguration, reducing installation times and minimising disruption to your project. The modular design accommodates complex building geometries, multi-level requirements, and challenging site conditions.
We maintain a comprehensive inventory of scaffolding components, edge protection systems, propping equipment, and temporary roofing materials. This ensures we can respond quickly to your requirements and have the right equipment available for every project.
Team Development and Training
Our scaffolders are our greatest asset. We invest in ongoing training and development to ensure every team member maintains current certifications and stays up to date with best practices in scaffolding installation and safety procedures.
All Aktis scaffolders hold INTAKS certification and receive regular training in the specific systems and techniques we use. Our supervisors have extensive industry experience and lead by example in maintaining the highest safety and quality standards.
We also train our team in customer service and communication, ensuring you receive professional, courteous service at every interaction from initial enquiry to final scaffold removal.
Community Involvement in Wellington
As a Wellington-based business, we are committed to supporting our local community. We provide scaffolding services to community organisations, schools, and charitable projects when possible, and support local initiatives that benefit Wellington residents.
We source equipment and supplies from local suppliers where available, supporting other Wellington businesses. Our team members live and work in the communities we serve, giving us a personal stake in the success of projects throughout the region.
