A live site holds plant, tools, fuel and materials, and after the gates shut it holds them unattended. NVC protects construction sites across the East Midlands with gatehouse guards, patrols, dog units, CCTV towers and keyholding, all from one supplier.
The loss on the crime report is only the start. The bigger number is usually the one on the programme: replacement lead times, idle trades and a site that has to stop while it is made safe.
Hand and power tools disappear fastest. They are easy to carry, easy to sell and expensive to replace at short notice.
Diesel, excavators and telehandlers are high-value targets, and organised crews come equipped to move them.
Cable, copper and lead vanish overnight, and the damage done getting at them often costs more than the metal.
Broken windows, damaged plant and graffiti on a part-finished build all land on your programme and your budget.
One incident can put a build back weeks. Reglazing, rewiring and re-ordering all happen on the critical path.
Policies increasingly expect documented site security. A break-in without it can turn into a dispute over the claim.
Every site is different, so the mix is different: a gatehouse during deliveries, dogs and patrols overnight, a tower watching the compound. We put together what your site actually needs, then adjust it as the build moves on.
SIA licensed officers controlling access, checking deliveries and keeping a record of who is on site.
Security guards →Marked vehicles visiting on random schedules, checking the perimeter, locks and compound.
Mobile patrols →K9 units for large or open sites where one officer on foot cannot cover the ground.
Dog handlers →Rapid-deployment and solar towers watching the compound around the clock, monitored from our control room.
CCTV towers →BS 7984 compliant keyholding with a 28-minute average alarm response, so nobody from your team attends at 3am.
Keyholding →Guards, patrols, dogs and towers combined into one plan for your site, on one invoice.
Construction site security →On a spread-out site, a solar CCTV tower watches the areas a guard walks past once an hour. Ours are monitored from a 24/7 control room, and when something moves that should not, a response vehicle is on the way, averaging 28 minutes across our coverage area.
