Words: Dan Kamys

The Mason Contractors Association of America’s Strategic Partner Program has welcomed back leading scaffold and masonry distributor, Southwest Scaffolding. Southwest Scaffolding is again a part of the $28 billion masonry industry’s largest promotional effort. 

“It’s always great when a Strategic Partner like Southwest Scaffolding returns to further build the relationship with our members and extended audience. We look forward to collaborating in the new year,” said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development. 

Southwest Scaffolding was previously a strategic partner in 2018 and 2019, and has advertised heavily through MCAA and MASONRY Media channels. 

About Southwest Scaffolding: At SWS, we have a construction pedigree. We began as a commercial masonry contractor in the early 1990s and over the course of the next 20 years, completed many multi-million-dollar projects. During the Great Recession, we shifted our focus from construction to selling and renting scaffolding. Unlike most of our competitors, we’ve used the scaffolding we sell to you, and like you, we’ve had to rely on it to make a living. We know how it performs in the field, how it holds up over time and how it can affect your bottom line. We understand as well as anyone the labor costs associated with erecting scaffolding and how setting up the right kind of scaffolding with the right strategic approach can make your project far more profitable. Like you, we are experts in construction, OSHA regulations and in scaffolding. Because of this, we only sell products we would use ourselves. We have spent a great amount of effort finding the highest quality products at the most reasonable prices and we want to pass this benefit on to you and give you an advantage over the competition. We can work with you on your projects to make sure you are buying what you and your crews need (and only what you need) to best complete a project, stay OSHA compliant, and keep your labor costs as low as possible. Why buy scaffolding from someone who knows less about how to use it than you do? For more information, please visit: scaffoldingrentalandsales.com.
