Security Cover Built Around Your Construction Project

No two construction sites operate in exactly the same way. Your security requirements can change as the project moves from groundworks to fit-out and completion. Our guarding arrangements can be structured around your current site activity and security priorities.

Gatehouse & Access Control

Create a controlled point of entry for workers, contractors, visitors and deliveries. Security officers can manage authorised access, record arrivals and departures, check site requirements and direct visitors to the correct area.

A professional gatehouse presence also helps maintain an accurate record of who is on site.

Out-of-Hours Site Security

Protect your site when the workforce has left and the risk of theft, trespass or vandalism can increase. Officers can provide static guarding, scheduled or randomised patrols, perimeter checks, lock-down procedures and incident escalation.

Cover can be arranged for evenings, nights, weekends and other periods when your site is closed.

Patrols & Perimeter Protection

Maintain a visible security presence across the site rather than relying only on the main entrance. Patrols can cover site boundaries, compounds, storage areas, plant locations, access points and other agreed areas.

Patrol activity and relevant incidents can be recorded through the agreed reporting process.

Plan Site Patrols →

Fire Watch & Site Support

Provide agreed security support for fire watch and emergency procedures where required by the site's arrangements. Officers can carry out defined checks, monitor agreed areas and escalate concerns according to the site's procedures.

Fire watch duties must follow the project's specific fire safety arrangements and responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Construction Site Security Questions

What is construction site security?

Construction site security is the use of trained security personnel and agreed security procedures to help protect a building site, its people, equipment, materials and property. Services can include access control, gatehouse duties, patrols, delivery management, monitoring and out-of-hours guarding.

Why does a construction site need security?

Construction sites can have valuable plant, tools, materials and equipment, as well as multiple access points and changing contractor activity. Professional security can help control access, deter unauthorised entry and identify and report security concerns.

What does a construction site security guard do?

Duties depend on the project. They can include controlling access, checking visitors and contractors, recording deliveries, monitoring site boundaries, carrying out patrols, protecting compounds and equipment, responding to incidents and completing security reports.

Can security guards control access to a construction site?

Yes. Gatehouse or access-control officers can manage authorised entry, record visitors and contractors, monitor arrivals and departures and follow the site's agreed access procedures.

Can you provide security at night and weekends?

Yes. Out-of-hours construction security can cover evenings, nights, weekends and other periods when the site is closed. Duties may include static guarding, patrols, perimeter checks, lock-down procedures and incident escalation.

Can you protect plant, tools and building materials?

Yes. Security arrangements can include patrols and monitoring of areas where plant, tools, fuel, copper, equipment and building materials are stored. The exact duties should be agreed as part of the site security plan.

Can security guards manage deliveries and contractors?

Yes. Where required, officers can manage the site entrance, record deliveries, direct vehicles, check authorised contractors and maintain site access records in line with the project's procedures.

Do your construction site security officers have SIA licences?

Security guarding is a licensable activity in the UK when it falls within the relevant legal requirements. ATB Protect deploys appropriately licensed security personnel for licensable frontline security duties.

Can you provide fire watch security?
