We're a rope access company, and this is a photo of one of our technicians in a boom lift.
Rope is the cheapest way onto most walls: no scaffold, no road closure, two technicians and a roof. But a glass atrium with no anchors above it and a clear floor below is a lift job, and a two storey podium is a pole job from the ground. Pretending otherwise costs the client money.
So the question we ask on every quote isn't how do we rope this, it's what's the safest, quickest way to reach every square metre. Usually that's rope. Sometimes it's a pole. Occasionally it's a lift for one section and rope for the rest, on the same day, same crew.
One contractor who can do all three means you don't pay for the wrong method.
