Ensure Your Site, Equipment and Employees Are Safe and Secure With On-Site Security Guards

SIA-Licensed Construction Site Security Guards

Perhaps one of the most sought-after solutions for security on a construction site, our security personnel are second to none. Expertly trained and experienced in handling the issues that come with the construction territory, we deliver SIA-licensed security operatives who can tackle even the most challenging projects. It’s part of the ProFM difference.

Maximise Your Construction Site Security With Mobile Patrol Vehicles and Security Officers

Mobile Officers For Large-Scale Projects

Building is rarely a self-contained affair. From new build estates to integral services like schools and hospitals, we’re well aware of how large-scale and expansive construction can be. That’s where our mobile patrolling officers come to the fore, offering a more proactive approach to securing your site and ensuring your perimeter stays disruption- and intrusion-free.

Cutting-Edge Construction Security With The VPOD

Cutting-Edge Construction Security With The VPOD

A revelation in how we approach sites without power or connectivity, the VPOD is a visually verified intruder alarm that functions entirely on solar power (with a 3-week battery backup for those cloudy days). It’s completely autonomous with a simple, one-person set-up, and offers uninterrupted connectivity to our National Operations Centre through an integrated, worldwide 2G SIM card.

Stop Trespassers and Theft On Your Construction Site With CCTV Security Services

Complete Coverage With Mobile CCTV

Ideal for longer-term projects or those that demand constant surveillance, our mobile CCTV towers for construction sites are the ideal blend of both rapid deployment and expert build quality. Offering a constant overview of key points across your site, all of our cameras connect wirelessly to our 24/7 National Operations Centre, and provide crystal clear imaging and a superb deterrent.

Trusted, Reliable and Rapid Key Holding and Alarm Response Security Officers

Building Site Alarm Response

With ProFM Group’s expert construction site alarm response service, you’ll be able to rest easy knowing your site is in safe hands. All of our response officers have extensive and specific training to ensure that your building site security is held to the highest possible level.

They’ll be able to take appropriate and rapid action to any disturbance on your construction site, with an average response time of just 30 minutes. We’re the pioneers of efficient, effective and robust construction site security solutions.

Secure Your Construction Site Entrance With Access Control Security Technology

Our Budget-Friendly Security Solutions

Of course, while security services are essential on construction sites UK-wide, it’s not always in the budget. That’s where our more affordable options come in and offer industry-leading service at a fraction of the cost. These include:

  • Key Holding & Alarm Response – We’ll securely hold a copy of your keys, using them to provide you with access when you need it, as well as respond to all alarm activations in just 30 minutes on average.
  • Lock & Unlock – Alleviate the pressure of opening up the site each morning and locking up at night by outsourcing it to our trained, SIA-licensed security professionals.

UK Construction Site Crime: Stats You Should Know

  • £800 million – the estimated overall cost of crime in construction
  • £400 million – the estimated cost of theft and vandalism in the sector
  • £98 million – the estimated cost of tool theft in the construction industry
  • 31% of construction projects are delayed due to crime
  • 91% of building sites experienced vandalism in the last year
  • A quarter (24%) of stolen goods are vehicles or expensive machinery

Construction Site Security FAQs

Ultimately, what professional construction site security offers is peace of mind. Deadlines and project timelines are incredibly tight, no matter what you’re working on, and our industry-leading security offers that reassurance of a trained, always-available presence. It’s also essential for many modern insurance premiums – a must-have for a project of any size.

Our people are the pride of ProFM, and that’s especially true of our security officers. Every single operative we provide is fully SIA-licensed and accredited, as well as having undergone a thorough 5-year vetting process. That’s all supplemented by our training platform, too, which offers site- and role-specific guidance and courses.

This often depends on what your project is, how long it’s likely to take, as well as a range of different factors. However, as a general rule, we’d advise a blend of physical security (like a mobile or static security presence, or a canine handler on more at-risk sites) and security technology (think mobile CCTV cameras, VPODs and Heras fencing).

This can change based on what kind of site you operate, and any specific requirements you may have (like Weighbridge and Banksman training). What won’t change, though, are the core duties of any security professional, which include monitoring key access points, proactively patrolling the site, and addressing any issues appropriately and effectively.

We can! Whether you’re concerned about trespassers on your scaffolding or disruption to essential civil projects like roadworks, ProFM can help. We know that time is of the essence on sites of this nature, and we’ll work alongside you to mobilise quickly, effectively and with the professionalism you’d expect from the UK’s #1.

While we’d always recommend booking your security in advance, we know that it’s not always your first thought, or that emergencies can and do happen. We’re here to help, and always aim to mobilise as soon as possible, and in time for when you need it. The first step is to enquire, and let us know what you need and when you need it.

Security technology plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of construction sites across the UK, especially those that are more remote. We’ve built a robust library of different options, which include:

  • VPODs, the visually verified intruder alarm
  • Mobile CCTV towers and cameras
  • Micro-cameras, designed to sit in the corner of scaffolding
  • Access control options (including ID badges and fobs)
  • Intruder alarms

This depends on quite a few different factors, including things out of your control like the size of your site and any existing infrastructure. However, with our mobile CCTV towers (which can operate completely on solar power), we’re able to install them quickly and with minimal impact. More permanent solutions will take longer, but we’re happy to adapt around your schedule.

We’re a nationwide business, meaning that no matter where your site is, we’re able to offer our signature blend of custom-built solutions and unparalleled professionalism. If you’re unsure or you feel you’ve got a particularly challenging location (such as an isolated energy project), speak to one of our in-house security experts today to discuss your requirements in more detail.

All of our solutions are bespoke, designed to match the unique demands that your project brings with it. While this does mean that we’re unable to offer a pricelist or estimate without specifics, it does ensure you’re getting the services you need at a competitive rate.
