Why Construction Security Is Critical in Canada

Construction theft is one of the most expensive – and most underreported – issues in the industry. Tools, copper wiring, HVAC units, lumber, diesel fuel, generators, and even heavy machinery are targeted across Canadian job sites.

Without professional security, you’re exposed to:

  • After-hours theft and trespassing

  • Material shrinkage and equipment loss

  • Fire risks from exposed wiring or flammable materials

  • Site damage or vandalism

  • Injuries to unauthorized visitors

  • Delays due to insurance claims and investigations

Visible, licensed guards stationed at entry points or patrolling the perimeter, enforcing access control, checking credentials, and securing equipment zones.
