Abstract
Processes on construction sites for buildings rely on temporary works such as scaffolding, centring and lifting equipment. All these auxiliary works are dependent on each other. They are strongly determined by the issues of transport of labour and material on site. The type of crane available has direct consequences on the type of scaffold to be employed, and vice versa. Another important influence is the type of material used. Movement of single largesize blocks requires different auxiliary structures from those used for the transport of large quantities of small materials. The present contribution highlights the interdependencies between scaffolding, cranes, and materials and
structures, and attempts to sketch an outline of the history of auxiliary construction site works from Early Medieval to Early Industrial times.
