Welcome to Non-Stop Scaffolding.

Non-Stop is a third-generation masonry-scaffolding manufacturing company based in Shreveport, LA. Our founder, Justin Breithaupt, Sr., was the son of a masonry contractor, and a successful masonry contractor in his own right.

Justin realized that on good production days, when his bricklayers laid more material, his profit was a lot higher. After a little studying, he discovered that bricklayers naturally work at a fast, easy, consistent pace when the wall happens to be waist-high. It’s so fast that if a man could lay brick on an infinitely long waist-high wall for 8 hours, his daily counts would be 50% higher compared to the counts he was getting when his men work on frame scaffolding! That lit a fire under him to keep his bricklayers waist-high because the numbers said that only a 20% increase in production would double his profit!

Of course, that was theoretical. But it made him start looking for reasons why his bricklayers, who normally worked at a fast pace, slowed down during the day. It didn’t take long to find out what the production killers are:

• Laying brick and block around their ankles. Very slow work and strenuous. A lot of bending and standing, up and down. About half-speed.

• Laying brick and block around their shoulders. Wears a man out. About half-speed.

• Any time they have to stop laying units: they’ve run a wall scaffold-high and must move (20 – 30 minutes downtime), or it’s time to hop the boards and materials because the wall is too high to reach (10 – 30 minutes downtime). And these things happened three to four times (or more) per day!! On a good day he was only getting 6½ hours of production.

So, in the early 70s, working with an engineer friend of his, Justin created his own scaffolding system to eliminate all the production killers he could think of, and, it worked! Production went up about 28% overall with no additional incentives. His profit more than doubled. Some masonry contractor friends of his wanted to buy some of his new scaffolding and Non-Stop Scaffolding was born in 1976.

He did put some additional incentives in place, like “put in more units and get more money every week” that further increased profits. Read more about his bonus system here. Read more about his journey that lead him to form Non-Stop here.
