Construction sites change quickly. The security needs to keep up.
Construction sites change quickly. Access points move, contractors arrive at different hours and expensive plant and materials can be left on site overnight. The security plan needs to move with the project.
Typical security problems.
- Plant and tool theft from site overnight
- Materials stolen or moved
- Fuel theft from generators and tanks
- Trespassing outside working hours
- Vandalism to partially completed work
- Temporary access points left unsecured
- Changing perimeters as the site evolves
- Delivery gates left open or unattended
What guarding can cover.
- Gatehouse and access control during working hours
- Permanent out-of-hours presence on site
- Contractor access management and logging
- Delivery management and vehicle checks
- Plant and materials protection
Where patrols may make sense.
- Out-of-hours perimeter checks when a permanent guard isn't justified
- Randomised visits to deter organised theft
- Weekend checks when the site is closed
- Checking that fencing, gates and hoarding are secure
Keyholding relevance.
Keyholding can support construction sites where access is needed for emergency callouts, deliveries outside hours, or contractor access when the site manager isn't available.

Construction security questions.
Yes. Some sites only need cover during specific phases — when expensive plant is on site, during groundworks, or when the site is vacant between contractors. We structure the cover around the project timeline.
Yes. Daytime gatehouse and access control is a standard part of construction security. Officers can check credentials, log arrivals and manage the delivery gate.
