Construction sites are like living, breathing organisms, evolving and literally changing the landscape over the course of a project. During construction, multiple contractors are constantly entering and exiting the site, various raw materials and supplies are delivered, generators, large tools, and earth-moving machines are left outside overnight, and visibility to key areas becomes obstructed as walls rise. When it comes to construction site security, these things combine to present unique challenges to construction firms.
Construction sites are often unsupervised overnight, and with an abundance of valuable materials, they make ripe targets to thieves and other criminals.
According to The National Equipment Register (NER), construction site theft costs the industry up to $1 billion each year. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB/CEG) reports, nearly one thousand pieces of commercial equipment are reported stolen each month. According to the NER/NICB report, only 21% of the stolen equipment was recovered in 2016.
