Construction sites are regarded as an easy target for opportunistic thieves, with many contractors and vehicles entering each day as well as being completely vacated at night. Many construction sites suffer theft, yet security is often considered a ‘luxury’ (or an unnecessary evil!).

After all, theft and/or vandalism of the construction site not only results in a lot of extra costs, they also cause delays, which means that the project is delivered later than anticipated. These are all consequences that could have been prevented with the help of appropriate construction site security.

However, well-managed uniformed construction site security is effectively cost-neutral, with savings made in the prevention of lost plant, materials and frustrating downtime. It may also be an insurance requirement.

With risk of theft, vandalism and even ‘urban warriors’ looking for a new thrill, construction site managers need the certainty their guards are punctual, reliable, trustworthy and effective. Therefore, we start by vetting our officers to make sure we select the right security guards with construction site experience, of course with each being DBS checked, SIA licensed and clear communication.
