Construction site security

Build sites are easy targets between knock-off and first light. Tools walk, copper gets stripped, generator fuel disappears in weekly amounts. Savvy provides the cover layer that keeps your project secure outside working hours, with licensed static guards on the gate, mobile patrols sweeping multiple sites overnight, and CCTV monitoring backing both up. We work the way construction works, signing into your inductions, integrating with site H&S, and reporting in the format your principal contractor uses.

What is at risk

Valuable Site Assets Requiring Protection

High-cost tools, stock and machinery move on and off the site every day, and access points change as the build progresses. That makes a site an easy target for theft, trespass and damage.

Exposure is highest overnight and at weekends, when the site is unmanned and no one is on the ground to notice.

  • Tools and equipmentdrills, saws, hand tools in lockboxes
  • Building materialstimber, plasterboard, fittings on pallets
  • Plant and machinerydiggers, scissor lifts, generators on hire
  • Copper and metalswiring, plumbing offcuts, rebar
  • Site officeslaptops, plans, petty cash, swipe cards

Each one is what our static guards, mobile patrols, and CCTV monitoring keep eyes on overnight.

What we provide

Security built for construction sites

01
Static guards
A licensed officer posted on site to control access and keep watch through your cover hours. Standard for shutdowns, after big pours, or when valuable plant is parked overnight.
02
Mobile patrol checks
Marked vehicle patrols that visit the site on a schedule to check the perimeter and access points. Typically two to four visits per night, with random timing so the pattern isn't predictable.
03
Alarm response
An officer dispatched to your site when an alarm is triggered, to verify and act on the cause. Urban Auckland response is 15 to 30 minutes, with a written incident log the same shift.
04
Access control
Managed entry and exit for workers, subcontractors and visitors, with sign-in at the gate. Inductions checked at the gate so unqualified visitors don't reach the build.
05
CCTV tower cameras and monitoring
Relocatable camera towers covering the site, monitored so activity is seen as it happens. Tower positions shift as the site changes, covering whichever zones are exposed that week.
06
Guardhouse real-time reporting
Patrols, incidents and site checks logged and reported back to you as they occur. Daily summaries delivered in the format your principal contractor uses for the site diary.

Tower cameras

Relocatable CCTV tower cameras

Visible, proactive cover for the whole site, day and night. The towers run on solar and battery, so they work without mains power, and they move with the build as your exposed areas change. Hired for short or long projects.
