The building industry is facing one of its toughest times and reliable suppliers are hard to come by. Direct Scaffolds are one of the few suppliers we've dealt with who were not only responsive but they have delivered on time, with great service and at a cost effective price point. This is the first build where our construction company have used them and we will certainly continue to do so for future jobs.

I had the best experience working with this company. From the production manager, installers and the operations manager, all interactions were helpful, polite and extremely professional. They understood my personal circumstances and worked with me to tailor a solution to my needs.

Direct Scaffold did a great job scaffolding our house. They got very responsible and respectful workers. The left the site very neat and they wrapped up all spare parts after they completed their work. The leader Jeff came and check the work the next day. We were very lucky to have them!

Void Protection FAQs

A void protection platform is a temporary engineered safety deck designed to cover open areas—such as stairwells, shafts, or floor openings—during construction. It prevents falls from height, enables safe working access, and is a mandatory WHS requirement on most multi-level residential and commercial builds.

Yes, we supply and install engineered stair void protection platforms that comply with AS/NZS standards. These systems allow work to continue safely around stair penetrations while protecting workers from falls during framing, sheeting, and fit-out stages.

Absolutely. All our void protection systems are engineered, load-rated, and installed to comply with Queensland WHS codes of practice and Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1170). We also supply compliance documentation and certifications for site audits or inspections.

Yes, our systems are fully modular and can be site-customised to suit varying slab dimensions, complex void shapes, or multi-storey configurations. We work closely with your project managers and certifiers to ensure a tight fit and full compliance without compromising workflow.

Void protection should be installed immediately after framing and before any work near exposed stairwells or floor voids begins. This ensures maximum safety during electrical rough-ins, plumbing, plastering, and other overhead tasks. Early planning reduces delays and ensures your site remains WHS compliant from day one.
