Protecting a site that changes every week
Construction sites are open, valuable and different each month. Security has to move with the programme, from a bare plot with a fence to a near-complete building full of finished plant.
What tends to go wrong here
Drawn from the incidents we deal with most often in this environment. Your survey will confirm which of these apply to your site.
Plant, tools and materials theft
Copper, cable, fuel and small plant are quick to move and hard to identify once gone. Deliveries stored on site are most exposed.
Trespass and unsafe access
Open sites attract shortcuts, sightseers and climbers, which is a safety and liability problem as much as a security one.
No power, no infrastructure
Early phases rarely have mains power or connectivity, so conventional cameras and alarms cannot be installed yet.
A changing cast of trades
Dozens of subcontractors come and go, so a site induction and access list needs constant upkeep.
How we cover it
A starting point, not a package. Cover is scoped against your hours, layout and budget.
Cover that follows the programme
We rescope at each phase: patrols and camera towers early, gatehouse and access control once the building takes shape.
Self-powered camera towers
Solar and battery towers with detection cameras and speakers, monitored by our control room, on sites with no power.
Lock-up, unlock and key holding
Officers open and secure the site around the programme, so site managers aren't the ones driving out at night.
Gate control as the site matures
Deliveries, inductions and subcontractor access managed at the gate, with records for the principal contractor.
Services most used here
Take one, or combine them into a single plan with one report and one point of contact.
Remote CCTV monitoring
Operators watch your cameras from our control room, challenge intruders by speaker and escalate as agreed with you.
Mobile patrols and alarm response
Scheduled or random visits across several sites, plus a response unit sent when an alarm goes off.
Security technology
Design, installation and maintenance of CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and fire detection.
Manned guarding
Uniformed officers for reception, access control, patrols and door supervision, trained on your site's routines.
Questions from construction and development
What clients in this sector ask before they start.
Can you secure a site with no power supply?
Yes. Self-powered camera towers with their own connectivity cover most early-phase sites, and can be moved as the site layout changes.
How quickly can cover start after a break-in?
Post-incident requests are prioritised. We confirm how soon patrols or a camera tower can start at your location, and agree what the site needs.
Do you work with the principal contractor's induction process?
Yes. Our officers complete your induction and enforce it at the gate, including checks on cards, permits and PPE where that's part of your process.
