Construction Site Security in San Diego.
Stop Theft Before It Costs You the Job.
Construction sites in San Diego lose copper, tools, and equipment every night. One theft can set your job back a week. Our guards stop it cold — overnight patrols, sign-in logs, fire watch, and same-day emergency deployment.
What Goes Wrong Without It
🔌 Copper wire gets stripped overnight
Copper theft hits SD sites weekly. Once cables are gone, you lose days to reorder and rewire — plus the cost of the materials. One guard prevents most of it.
🛠️ Tools and equipment disappear
Saws, drills, compressors, and generators walk off sites. Insurance covers part. Your schedule and reputation cover the rest.
🚛 Heavy equipment gets stolen
Bobcats, skid steers, and even full excavators get driven off SD sites every year. Without a guard, your GPS tracker is the only line of defense.
📋 OSHA fines for poor access control
Without a sign-in log, you cannot prove who was on-site during an incident. That is an OSHA citation and a lawsuit waiting to happen.
🏚️ Trailers and offices get broken into
Site trailers hold the laptops, plans, keys, and small tools. They are also unattended at night — easy pickings without security.
🔥 Fire risk from squatters or vandals
Vacant lots and night-time sites attract squatters who light fires for warmth. One fire and your whole job is on the news.
What You Get From Us
Overnight Patrol
Marked vehicle patrols every 30 to 60 minutes, plus on-foot checks of staging areas and trailers. We are the reason thieves move on to the next site.
Sign-In Logs
Every person and vehicle is logged in and out. Perfect for OSHA audits, incident investigations, and your GC's records.
Gate Access Control
We staff the main gate or manage automated access. Only approved workers and vendors get in. Everyone else gets turned away or documented.
Camera Watch
Many sites have cameras. We watch them live during shifts and review footage after incidents — way cheaper than a 3rd-party monitoring service.
Dedicated Fire Watch
Hot work like welding or torching requires fire watch under OSHA rules. We provide dedicated fire watch guards who meet CAL/OSHA standards.
Same-Day Emergency Response
Got hit last night? We can have a guard on-site today. We have done many emergency starts after a break-in or theft.
FAQ
How much does construction site security cost in San Diego?
Construction site security runs $3,500 to $12,000 per month depending on hours and site size. Overnight-only coverage starts around $3,500. 24/7 coverage with armed guards runs up to $12,000.
Why do I need a guard at my construction site?
Construction sites lose $1 billion a year to theft nationwide. Copper, tools, equipment, and lumber all get stolen overnight. A single guard pays for itself in a week by stopping one theft.
Do you watch sites overnight and on weekends?
Yes. Most jobs need 6 PM to 6 AM coverage Monday through Friday plus 24-hour weekends and holidays. That is when crews are gone and thieves move in.
Can you protect copper wire and metal from theft?
Yes. Copper theft is the #1 problem on SD construction sites. Our guards walk perimeters, watch staging areas, and document any suspicious activity.
Do you log who comes and goes?
Yes. We keep a sign-in log of every worker, vendor, and visitor — with time in, time out, vehicle plate, and reason for visit. Great for safety audits and OSHA records.
Will you watch the site office and trailer?
Yes. Office trailers are a top theft target — plans, laptops, tools, even the trailer itself can disappear overnight. We make them a priority on every patrol.
Do you carry the right insurance for job sites?
Yes. CA BSIS PPO licensed. Full general liability plus workers' comp. We send a Certificate of Insurance to your GC or your insurance carrier on request.
Can your guards stop theft in progress?
Yes. Trained guards approach, identify themselves, call police, and document everything. We are not vigilantes. We use presence and reporting to stop most theft before it starts.
Do you support OSHA and safety compliance?
Yes. Our guards check that workers wear PPE on entry, log visitors, and watch fire watch zones during hot work. We can do dedicated fire watch shifts too.
How fast can you start?
Most sites can have a guard on-site within 24 to 48 hours. Emergency starts (after a theft or break-in) can be same-day in many areas.
