Construction security

Protect the site as it changes.

From open compounds to completed floors, a construction project needs security that adapts to the works underway.

Construction security

A live site is never static.

People, deliveries, materials and access points change as the project progresses.

Construction security needs to account for exposed plant, tools and fuel, temporary fencing, out-of-hours access and areas without permanent power or data. We review the current phase with the site team before agreeing people, patrols and technology.

A considered approach

Protection needs to follow the programme.

A plan that worked at groundwork stage may not suit a near-complete building. Review points should track new compounds, valuable materials, shift patterns and changing access routes.

  • Map the current siteIdentify entrances, compounds and vulnerable areas.
  • Review phasesUpdate posts or patrol routes as works move.
  • Record exceptionsCapture observations, incidents and required changes.

Good questions

Answers before we talk.

We will look at your situation in detail, but these answers are a useful starting point.

Can guarding and CCTV work together?

Yes. A site-specific plan can assign physical checks alongside camera coverage and alerts. The Renaker case study evidences Lansafe's CCTV and monitoring work on a construction site, not guard staffing.

Can the scope change during the build?

It should be reviewed when access points, compounds, working hours or risks change. Any variation needs to be agreed with the site team.

Let’s talk
