The method comprises securing at least one bracket to the a building, supporting a worker support platform on a horizontal support member and retaining the worker support platform on the horizontal support member with the flexible retaining member.

An apparatus for suspended scaffolding, comprising a Z-shaped anchoring plate comprised of a first horizontally protruding element, a second opposable protruding element, and said elements continuously coupled to each other via a vertical middle element, wherein the Z-shaped plate is configured to securely cover at least portions of a top wall, inner wall of a parapet, and a roof; at least one threaded rod with torqued nut anchored through at least one of the vertical element and/or the first element of the anchoring plate and through at least one of the top wall, inner wall, and/or outer wall of the parapet; an L-shaped receiver plate secured over at least a portion of the top wall and outer wall of the parapet and rod-nut anchored to the anchoring plate, wherein the receiver plate is configured to secure a suspended scaffold for a user to engage a façade of a structure in any direction; and a counterweight securely rested on a top surface of the second element in order to counter the weight of the suspended scaffold.

A fall protection guardrail system and method used for construction of multi-story wood-framed buildings, which comprises a support bracket comprised of an attachment member and a pole support, and further comprises a pole with integrated rail supports. For a framed wall that is lying in a horizontal position, the support bracket is easily attached to a framing member of the framed wall, and the pole is inserted into the pole support. Then the framed wall is moved into the vertical position and secured to other framing. When the floor or roof is placed atop the framed wall, rails are inserted into the rail supports and secured. When the building is finished, the guardrail support system is easily removed, disassembled, and reusable. In some embodiments, a scaffolding frame may be attached to the support bracket, and the pole inserted into the scaffolding frame.

Disclosed herein is a support base for use in shuttering formwork. The support base includes an angle section member and a plurality of clamping brackets. The clamping brackets further include clamping members engageable with the clamping brackets to define a clamping portion aligned with openings on the angle section member. Also disclosed herein is a method of supporting shuttering formwork which uses the support base.

An adjustable window support device is disclosed. In embodiments, the adjustable window support device includes: a horizontal segment configured to be placed into contact with a lower surface of a bay window; a vertical segment configured to be placed against a wall and configured to extend downwardly from the lower surface of the bay window along the wall; and an adjustable segment configured to extend diagonally from a bottom end of the vertical segment to the pin at or near a front end of the horizontal segment. The adjustable segment includes a first end that is pivotally coupled to the bottom end of the vertical segment and a second end that is configured to be held in a selected position by a pin that extends laterally through at least two holes at or near the front end of the horizontal segment.

A walkway system includes brackets that are connectable to vertical frame members and supportable by horizontal frame members. Walkway support members include lips that engage with the brackets, horizontally-oriented portions that support a walkway member, and vertically-oriented portions that contact the building to stabilize the walkway member.

A wall mount bracket for HVAC Equipment such as a heat pump, AC condensing unit, and preferably the exterior condenser unit of a mini split system. The system can advantageously be used in colder climates to prevent equipment from freezing and keep equipment above the level of the snow, etc. The wall mounts herein employ an offset to space the unit away from the wall of the structure to provide clearance on the rear of the unit. The offset also allows the units to be mounted above the top of the foundation wall without disrupting the exterior siding of the structure.

An adjustable support for use in shuttering formwork comprising a base member, a shuttering contact member, and a bracing member, wherein the base member, the shuttering contact member and the bracing member are engaged hingedly with one another. The bracing member is engaged securably with the shuttering contact member and the base member. The bracing member is adjustable, such that adjustment of the bracing member causes rotation of the shuttering contact member about the base member. Also disclosed is a method for supporting shuttering comprising providing one or more adjustable supports as described above, affixing the or each base member to a substantially static object, assembling the or each bracing member and the or each shuttering contact member as described above, adjusting the or each bracing member and attaching the or each shuttering to the or each shuttering contact member.

An apparatus for supporting workers and materials above-grade on both the cave and gable ends of a structure is disclosed. The apparatus can be combined with one or more additional staging apparatuses to create a staging system for the support of persons or materials while work is being done on a structure, e.g., roofing, siding, etc. The modular design of the apparatus simplifies installation, such that it can be readily attached to a roof or other support member of a structure by a single person, and facilitates the adjustable vertical positioning of people or materials along the walls of the structure. The staging system can also include a rail member for safety support and alternative scaffolding arrangements.

A wall mounted shelf wherein a diagonal bracket can support an upper shelf, bar or beam several inches above the vertical wall bearing plate. A lower shelf, bar or beam can be hung from the upper shelf. A triangular platform comprises the diagonal bracket, the wall and a top shelf. The diagonal bracket transmits a large force vector into the vertical wall bearing plate as opposed to traditional knee braces that transmit a pivoting vector on the vertical wall bearing plate away from the wall. The result is a cost saving heavy duty shelving system using traditional lumber. An optional variable length diagonal bracket is disclosed. Another embodiment uses the same diagonal pair of brackets to store tires or other objects against the wall and eliminates the shelves and provides a chin up bar. Another embodiment replaces the lower shelf with a chin up bar between two diagonal brackets. Other embodiments include a tire storage mode, a lower bar used for hanging storage which replaces the lower shelf, and a (partially) removed lower shelf for hanging storage such as a bike rack.
