CONSTRUCTION SITE SECURITY

When your crew leaves your construction site for the day, a lot of valuable equipment and materials are left unsupervised and unattended. While setting up security cameras will help you identify a burglar, it won't stop the crime from happening. Hire a security guard with Sheepdog Security to give your job site an extra level of protection. 

Day or night, we'll keep a close eye on your  site to intervene and notify the police of any incidents or suspicious activity. 

If your construction site is in an area with lots of crime, your employees and equipment could be in danger. Having a security guard on site can:

• Make your employees feel safer and be more productive.
• Protect your equipment from damage or theft.
• Give you a professional to deal with unwanted trespassers and criminals.

Almost every construction business knows about the National Equipment Register report that reveals theft of heavy equipment costs an average of $400 million dollars every year. What’s alarming is that the data doesn’t count for the cost of lost workdays due to the need to replace the stolen equipment. The report clearly states the data comes from reported thefts they know about. Many go unreported.

• Propmodo says the most common cause of thefts on construction sites is due to “security negligence,” which means they don’t have sufficient construction site security and lighting.
• NER has also found fewer than one-quarter of stolen construction materials and equipment are ever recovered.
• In its 35 years of tracking data, the Associated General Contractors of America says the prices for construction materials have experienced the highest monthly and yearly increases. The situation is bad enough to compel AGC to issue a construction inflation alert.
• Some of the most common stolen items from construction sites are copper, other metals, lumber, heavy equipment, and tools. According to the Department of Energy, $1 billion dollars’ worth of copper is stolen every year.
• It’s no surprise that copper is sought after as CNBC reports copper prices have soared by more than 30% in 2021. Copper theft can halt a construction project.
• Power tool theft is growing as the NYU Dispatch reports it will continue to skyrocket to at least 2025. The reason for the increase in thefts is that criminals believe law enforcement won’t waste their time with lower-priced items.
