Instead of Avontus Quantify
Stop renting Avontus Quantify. Own your scaffolding system.
We build your version around your hire terms, your inspection routine and your yard, bring your Quantify scaffolds across and run it for you. You keep the database and decide how it works.
Quantify Small Business is US$349 every 28 days plus a US$1,495 startup fee, for a single branch on Windows. Enterprise and Industrial, where the customer portal and mobile inspections live, are quoted privately.

What the bill covers
One licence per branch, then the editions and the extras
Avontus publishes a price for its smallest licence only. Grow past one branch, or want the features site teams use, and the edition is quoted. Design and site tagging are separate subscriptions again.
A licence per branch
The published Small Business licence covers basic inventory, logistics and rental for a single-branch company. A second yard means a different edition.
Quoted editions
Enterprise and Industrial carry no public price, so you cannot compare your bill with anyone else before you sign.
Inspections on a phone
Inspecting scaffolds on a mobile device and the scaffold register sit in the Industrial edition, the top of the range.
Invoice and estimate history
Tracking the history of invoices and estimates is listed for Enterprise and Industrial only.
Design seats
Designer is its own subscription, from US$199 every 28 days for Kwikstage-style scaffold up to US$299 for every system, each with a startup fee.
Tags on top
Many contractors add a tagging app for site handovers and inspections, such as Scafflinq at A$1.50 per active tag per week.
Your yard, your rules
The jobs your office and inspectors do by hand today
Tags and inspections
Know which scaffold is unsafe before anyone climbs it
Every tag worked out from the records, not from memory: handed over, inspected, altered or hit.
- check A tag turns red the day an inspection is overdue, and after any alteration or incident
- check No scaffold is handed over or passed by someone not recorded as a competent person
- check Inspections due this week, grouped by site so one inspector does a site in one visit
- check Handover certificates and a site inspection register printed in your brand
Crews and licences
Book the right people on the high work
Crew booked by the day on each scaffold, checked against their licence as you book.
- check Refuse an unlicensed or lapsed scaffolder on a scaffold over 4 m
- check In New Zealand, no erect at 5 m or more until WorkSafe has 24 hours notice
- check See every licence that lapses before the next booked day
- check Compare the labour price with crew hours to find the jobs priced too low
Hire
Bill hire on time, and never twice
Hire runs from handover and bills every cycle, with minimum hire on a quick strike.
- check One run bills every scaffold due, once for each stretch of days
- check Final hire stops on the strike date, with your minimum hire applied
- check Erects handed over, dismantles done and alterations finished but not invoiced
- check Hold an alteration agreed only by phone until the price is in writing
The yard
Know where every standard and plank is
Delivery and return dockets for every component, so the yard count is always right.
- check Stock owned, on hire and in the yard, with the share of each item out on hire
- check Refuse a return docket for more than the site holds, so a typo is caught on the day
- check Find gear still on sites where every scaffold is already down
- check Bill what never came back at replacement cost and write it off the stock

Ten questions your business can answer today
These run on a fictional contractor’s records. Avontus Quantify has its own reports. The difference here is that the owner asks their own questions and changes the rules themselves.
Switching
How to switch from Avontus Quantify
The move is less about copying a register and more about testing the records, mapping the history you need, and checking both systems before you switch.
- 1
Export your register
Export your job or scaffold register from Avontus Quantify. Quantify exports reports to Excel, and its job or scaffold register is the starting point for the move. Save the register as CSV if that is the export available to you. Include builders, sites and scaffolds, along with tags, heights, prices, hire dates and the last inspection. Check with Avontus Quantify if you are unsure which report contains those fields.
- 2
Run a test import
Load the register into Scaffolding for Claude Code with a test run first. This lets you see how the records will come across before the import is applied. The register can bring over builders, sites and scaffolds with their tags, heights, prices, hire dates and last inspection, so the inspection clock starts from the real date. Fix any source data or field mapping issues before loading the records for use.
- 3
Review the test results
Check what the test run flags and compare a sample of the imported records with Avontus Quantify. Confirm that builders, sites, tags, heights, prices, hire dates and inspection dates match your records. Resolve anything that is missing or mapped incorrectly before continuing. Stock on each site, docket history and invoices are not in the register report, so make a plan to bring that history across as part of the switch.
- 4
Run both systems briefly
Keep Avontus Quantify available while you use the new system for a short period. Check that your team can find the records they need and that current scaffolds, tags and inspection dates agree between the two. Use this period to identify any gaps in the history you chose to bring across, including stock on sites, dockets and invoices, and resolve them before relying on the new system alone.
- 5
Switch off Avontus Quantify
When the records and day to day work have been checked, make Scaffolding for Claude Code the system your team uses going forward. Keep any records you still need from Avontus Quantify according to your own business requirements, then end or stop using the old system when you are satisfied the move is complete. Your records in the new system sit in a database you hold.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding which history to bring across. The register covers key scaffold details, but stock on each site, docket history and invoices need separate attention as part of the switch. If you have Enterprise DNA run it, they handle this mapping and history work for you.

Questions
Instead of Avontus Quantify, answered
Quantify is built for scaffolders. Why would we change? expand_more
If it does everything you need at a price you are happy with, you may not. The reason to own your version is control: your hire terms and inspection routine enforced the way you run them, your records in a database you hold, and answers to your own questions without waiting on a report. We start with the jobs your office still does on a spreadsheet.
Can our inspectors still tag and inspect on site? expand_more
The free version is run from the office: the inspector’s result is recorded the same day and the tag changes from the records. Enterprise DNA builds a phone app that scans the tag, records the inspection with photos and works without signal into your custom version, writing back to the same records.
What about scaffold design and drawings? expand_more
Keep designing in the tool you use now. This system takes the quantities that go to site, the dockets that bring them back and the hire that runs in between. Enterprise DNA can load a bill of materials from your design tool into the delivery docket as part of your version.
Can we bring our Quantify records across? expand_more
Yes. Quantify exports its reports to Excel, and the free version imports a job or scaffold register after a test run: builders, sites, tags, heights, prices, hire dates and the last inspection, so the inspection clock starts from the real date. Stock on each site, docket history and invoices are not in that report, so we bring those across as part of your switch.
Is the inspection and licence checking legal advice? expand_more
No. It checks your records against the intervals and heights you set, starting from the Australian model work health and safety rules and the New Zealand notification rule, and refuses an action that would break one unless someone gives a reason. The rules are settings, so they match your state, New Zealand and your principal contractors.
