Liability Protection
Document site conditions, accidents, and unauthorized access for insurance and legal protection.
Construction Site Security Research & Best Practices
What construction theft looks like and what actually reduces it
Industry Theft Statistics
Annual Construction Theft Impact
National Equipment Register reports $1 billion in annual theft losses, with only 21% of stolen equipment recovered.
Most Targeted Items
Copper wire, power tools, heavy equipment, and building materials are the usual targets.
Peak Theft Times
Weekends are a common window for construction theft, from Friday evening to Monday morning when sites are unattended.
Prevention Effectiveness
Visible surveillance does most of its work before anything happens: crews see the mast and pick another site.
Security Best Practices Guide
✓ Layer Your Security
Use physical barriers, surveillance, and lighting together rather than relying on any one of them.
✓ Document Everything
Video evidence gives insurers and police something concrete to work with when you file a claim or report.
✓ Visible Deterrence
Prominent security measures discourage a lot of opportunistic theft before it happens.
✓ Adapt to Project Phases
Adjust security coverage as valuable materials arrive and high-risk phases begin.
✓ Engage Local Law Enforcement
Register your site and after-hours contacts with local police so officers have context when an incident is reported.

Construction Site Security FAQs
How quickly can you deploy to an active construction site?
Same-day deployment is available for urgent construction security needs within our service area - call (253) 683-2288 to check availability. Standard deployment is within 24-48 hours.
Do the trailers work on sites without power?
Yes. Our trailers run on their own solar panels and backup generators, so they work on new construction sites that don't have utilities yet.
Can we move the trailer as our project progresses?
Yes. The trailers are built to be relocated, so as your project moves along we can reposition the trailer within your jobsite for optimal coverage. Ask about relocation when you request a quote.
What happens if equipment is stolen despite surveillance?
Visible surveillance deters a lot of theft, and if an incident does occur we provide HD video evidence for police reports and insurance claims if an incident occurs.
Do you offer multi-site discounts for large contractors?
Yes, we offer volume discounts for contractors securing multiple sites or long-term projects. Contact us for a custom quote.
