Construction site Theft and Vandalism cost Australian builders over $1 Billion a year. This is expected to rise as thieves take advantage of empty construction sites during covid and the upcoming holiday seasons.<\/p>
High-cost machinery theft costs $650 million annually in Australia. Meanwhile, about $140 million of plant equipment is stolen from construction sites each year.<\/p>
Good construction site security and supervision are essential during residential & commercial construction projects when expensive materials and equipment are present on the construction site.<\/p>
Theft and\/or vandalism not only results in a lot of extra costs, but they also cause delays. Which ultimately means that your projects will be delivered later than anticipated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Every construction site is different and would require a different response. SecurT helps analyse security risks from the type of construction project, the construction location, the number of people that have access to the construction site and the amount of support needed for those present on the site. It is important to identify potential risks and plan accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Preventing theft and vandalism is a combination of three different factors: people, process, and technology.

Every phase of the construction project is different and as such, every phase requires a different kind of security. While fencing can be employed during the foundation phase, the final phase when expensive materials are used may require more extensive security measures. Strategies include anti-lift security or access gates with extra security.<\/span><\/p> You can determine for yourself the number of security measures that you must utilise by asking yourself a few questions<\/span><\/p> Having a physical presence prevents trespassers, thieves and vandals from accessing your construction site and maintaining high visibility across all your assets.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Regular patrols provide a visible deterrent against crime.
