System (1) for positioning a functional platform (5) at an elevated position relative to external walls of a building (2), such as to allow surveying or maintaining the building (2). The system (1) includes an elongate, flexible element (10), a carriage (4) mountable to the flexible element (10) and operable to move along the flexible element (10), the carriage (4) configured to suspend the functional platform (5) operatively below the carriage (4), and a pair of support assemblies (6). Each support assembly (6) includes a mount (14) configured to be fixed to the building (2) to define a position axis (7), and an elongate support member (13) configured to connect to the mount (14) to be rotatable about the position axis, the support member (13) defining a free end (11) configured to support the flexible element (10). The system (1) also includes a retraction mechanism engageable with the flexible element (10) and operable to retract and tension the flexible element (10) between the support members (13). -12
