Renovating a church requires a lot of scaffolds since most big churches such as catholic churches have very high ceilings. You need to secure your workers when they work – thus you need a lot of scaffolds.
Some workers are comfortable with metal scaffolds while most workers especially those coming from the rural areas prefer bamboo.
In this example project we set in Cordova parish, you can observe the combination use of metal and bamboo scaffolds – this is not because of workers preference but a matter of choice since there is an abundance of stock bamboo from from the previous renovation lying around.
As you can read from our previous article regarding bamboo scaffolds, bamboo is relatively stronger than steel with the additional benefit of it being flexible, and the abaca string or even the nylon string used to secure the bamboo – normally don’t easily slide through, compared to metal fasteners – thus workers are generally more comfortable with the bamboo scaffolds. Metal scaffolds are only popular in city areas since bamboo is hard to find in the city.
When contracting church projects, one has to give the best pricing – very minimal profit – even sometimes, if you can, remove the profit, and give the church a purely service oriented contract since the church is the house of God thus you can consider a church project as your own giving back to God. Churches rely on donations from parishioners thus you can notice if there is ongoing project in the church – the priest has to sometimes even beg during mass for more donations to finish such project.
