Construction site security in Metro Vancouver

We guard and patrol construction sites for builders and general contractors across the Lower Mainland. We provide on-site guards, gate and access control during working hours, and patrols when the site is closed, to protect tools, copper, fuel and materials.

Construction excavation, Mount Pleasant, Vancouver

After the last trade leaves

On-site guards for any shift, including nights and weekends, or patrol visits for smaller sites. They check the gates, the containers and the hoarding, and walk the floors that are closed in.

Gate control during the day

The guard checks trades and delivery drivers against your list, signs them in and out, and keeps people without the right gear off the site.

Reports for the site super

Reporting for the super is agreed at the start. It typically covers the rounds, gates found open, and anything missing or damaged, with photos where appropriate.

What size of site do you cover?

Projects of any size, from a single house build to a high-rise tower.

Can your guards control the gate and sign in trades?

Yes. The guard verifies each person against your list, signs them in and out, and logs deliveries.

What happens after a break-in?

The guard notifies the people on your contact list, and the police where your plan requires it. The damage is photographed and documented in an incident report that you can provide to police and your insurer.

How long do construction contracts run?

For the duration of the project. Coverage can be adjusted as the project moves from excavation through framing to finishing.
