Construction Site Security
Protect equipment, materials and perimeters on active and dormant job sites, with GPS-verified patrols and a logged record of access.
Construction site security for equipment, materials and access
Active and dormant job sites are soft targets: copper and cabling, fuel, tools and heavy equipment sit in the open, and a single overnight theft can stall a schedule for weeks. On-site officers and marked patrols turn an open site into a controlled one, with a logged record of everyone who came and went.
What our construction officers cover
- Perimeter patrols — scheduled and random rounds across the full site footprint.
- Equipment & materials protection — watch on laydown yards, fuel and copper.
- Access control & logging — gatehouse checks and a record of vehicles and visitors.
- Theft & trespass deterrence — a visible presence overnight and on weekends.
- Fire watch — hot-work and impaired-system fire watch where required.
- Incident reporting — documented rounds with GPS tour checkpoints.
Where the risk sits
- Overnight and weekend windows when the site is unmanned.
- Laydown yards, fuel stores and anything containing copper.
- Unfenced or partially fenced perimeters during early phases.
- Multiple subcontractors and deliveries with no single access log.
The Coverage Planner turns your hours and days into total guard-hours and a shift grid; the estimator prices it. Scope both, then request a quote.
How Fast Guards staffs a construction post
We scope the site’s phase, footprint and access points, then set a patrol pattern — fixed gatehouse, roving patrol, or both — with GPS checkpoints so you can see the rounds were walked. Officers are briefed on the specific assets at risk on your site.
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide fire watch on construction sites?
Where your jurisdiction and insurer require it, we can staff fire watch for hot-work and impaired fire-protection systems, with documented patrol logs.
Roving patrol or a fixed post — which do I need?
It depends on site size, value at risk and access points. Use the Guards-Needed Calculator for a starting point, then a supervisor confirms it on the survey.
