Our Process

1. Site Assessment

We review the construction site, access points, boundaries, working hours and areas that may require additional protection.

2. Security Planning

We recommend suitable site security systems based on the site's layout, project requirements and identified security risks.

3. Security Deployment

The agreed construction security system is installed or deployed, which may include security personnel, CCTV, alarms, access control or other suitable measures.

4. Monitoring and Protection

The site is monitored according to the agreed security plan, with guards, surveillance systems or response services helping to identify and manage security incidents.

5. Ongoing Review

Security arrangements can be reviewed and adjusted as the construction project develops, site boundaries change or new areas require protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does construction site security cost?

The cost depends on the size and location of the site, the level of security required, operating hours and the combination of services used. Contact us for a quotation based on your construction project and security requirements.

What security systems can be used on a construction site?

Construction site security systems can include CCTV, remote monitoring, intruder alarms, access control, perimeter protection, security guards and mobile patrols. The most suitable combination depends on the layout and risks of the individual site.

Do you provide temporary construction site security?

Yes. Temporary construction site security can be arranged for short-term developments, changing construction environments and projects where permanent security infrastructure is not suitable.

Can you provide construction site security monitoring?

Yes. Construction site security monitoring can be used alongside CCTV and other detection systems to provide additional protection, including during periods when the site is closed or has fewer workers present.

Why is security important on construction sites?

Construction sites may contain valuable machinery, tools and building materials while also having multiple access points and changing boundaries. Suitable security measures help deter theft, vandalism, trespassing and unauthorised access.

What is the best construction security system for a building site?

There is no single system suitable for every construction site. The right solution depends on the site's size, access points, operating hours, assets and level of risk. A site assessment can help determine whether CCTV, guarding, access control, alarms, patrols or a combination of these measures is most appropriate.

Do you provide security for building sites across the UK?

Yes. Securak provides security for construction sites and building projects across the UK, with solutions planned around the individual requirements of each location.
