During the past year, the economy has gone through a lot of change.  While some industries have scaled back, many other industries have continued to remain strong and grow.  Both commercial and residential construction are two examples of industries who have continued regular operations.  Commercial buildings and projects have not slowed down, while residential building projects have grown to new heights.  Not since March of 2006 have Americans bought new homes at such a high pace.  Homebuilders are buying new land and new communities are sprouting up across the nation. 

While the demand for building new commercial developments, buildings, and residential homes continues to rise, the demand for the material to build has also increased.  For example, one of the most commonly used items when building a home is a piece of plywood lumber.  In March of 2020, the price of one sheet of plywood nearly tripled in just one year.  In addition to lumber, there has also been an increased demand and cost for drywall, copper, steel, and other common materials while supply chains are strained.  New home builders and construction sites all over are just now starting to pay attention to their sites and inventory.

Construction sites are often overlooked in terms of having a value-added security systems in place such as roving security patrols, remote monitoring, and monitoring the traffic at a construction site 24/7.  Construction sites are seeing a rise in thefts and crime due to their ease of access, little to no security, and the opportune time for theft after hours and on weekends.  Not only are raw materials at risk from theft, but so are tools, heavy machinery, and other equipment on site. By having the right security solution in place, É«Ç鱦±´ can help mitigate risk and reduce liability by providing you with a job site assessment to provide the best approach to safety around areas such as downtown businesses districts, high-rise residential and office buildings, hospital additions, university campuses, retail centers, and more.

Having Security Professionals on your site during and after business hours can help prevent theft and deter crime while potentially saving your company thousands of dollars in lost material and delayed production due to limited supplies.  Another option to help monitor your construction sites is to install security cameras that can be monitored and operated remotely.  A common reason companies don’t install cameras at construction sites is due to the limited areas cameras can be mounted with power and connectivity.  However, with today’s technology, that can be handled easily with solar power, and cellular connections with motion-activated alerts to notify a 24/7 operated monitoring center who can assist you in notifying the proper authorities if needed.
