Construction Site Security in British Columbia
Construction Site Security in British Columbia
Protecting BC's Building Boom — 24/7 Construction Site Security.
British Columbia's construction industry is one of the most active in Canada. From major residential towers in Metro Vancouver to infrastructure projects across the Okanagan and Northern BC, billions of dollars in equipment, materials, and partially-built structures sit exposed across thousands of sites every night.
Without professional security, those sites are targets — for equipment theft, copper wire stripping, vandalism, unauthorized entry, and liability incidents involving trespassers.
Hundal Protection Services provides licensed construction site security guards across BC, protecting active and inactive sites 24/7 with trained, professional security personnel.
The Construction Crime Problem in BC
Construction site theft and vandalism is a serious and growing problem across British Columbia:
- Equipment theft costs BC contractors millions annually — generators, compressors, tools, and heavy machinery are prime targets
- Copper and material theft — electrical wire, plumbing, and structural materials stripped from incomplete buildings
- Vandalism — spray paint, broken glass, and deliberate structural damage
- Trespasser liability — unauthorized individuals injured on-site create serious legal exposure for project owners
- Fire risk — unsecured sites are targets for arson
A single theft incident can cost a BC construction project $50,000–$500,000 in equipment replacement, project delays, and insurance complications.
Our BC Construction Site Security Services
On-Site Static Guards
Uniformed security guards stationed at your construction site — controlling access, monitoring the perimeter, deterring theft and vandalism, and responding immediately to incidents. Available for day shifts, night shifts, and 24/7 continuous coverage.
Mobile Patrol
For sites where a full-time static guard isn't required, our GPS-tracked mobile patrol vehicles conduct regular, randomized visits — providing a deterrent presence at a fraction of the cost.
Access Control & Gate Security
Managing who enters and exits your construction site — checking credentials, logging contractors and deliveries, and preventing unauthorized access during active construction hours.
CCTV Monitoring Integration
We work alongside your CCTV systems, providing human oversight and rapid response when cameras detect suspicious activity.
Fire Watch Security
BC's wildfire-prone environment creates fire watch requirements on many construction projects. Our guards provide fire watch coverage in compliance with WorkSafeBC and municipal requirements.
After-Hours & Weekend Security
Most construction site thefts happen nights and weekends. Our guards provide the coverage your crew can't.
