Job Site Protection Services – In-Person Security
Do you know how much an unguarded job site really costs? Most contractors focus on timelines and budgets, but unsecured locations quietly bleed profits through theft, vandalism, and liability risks. Each year, one billion dollars slips away from American sites because of avoidable security holes. What differentiates a target-rich job site from an impenetrable one?
With expertise in security in construction, Divine Protection Services neutralizes risks via custom round-the-clock surveillance. Their skilled teams do more than walk the site—they deploy multi-tiered protection plans. This includes physical patrols, real-time surveillance, and access control. At the first sign of unauthorized access to costly assets, quick-reaction squads neutralize the threat.
A single stolen excavator can delay projects for weeks while insurance claims process. According to reports, a guarded site suffers 63% fewer breaches than an unguarded one. By deterring unauthorized entry and documenting every activity, these systems transform chaotic workspaces into controlled environments. In these environments, productivity thrives.
Key Takeaways
- 24/7 monitoring prevents theft of equipment worth thousands per incident
- On-site guards cut property damage chances by more than 60%
- Immediate response protocols minimize downtime from intrusions
- Entry records shield you in post-incident inquiries

Why Construction Site Security Services Are Essential
Annually, unauthorised breaches cost sites millions in stolen goods and damage. Sites store pricey machinery, building supplies, and skeletal structures—all tempting to thieves. Without professional security, projects risk delays, budget overruns, and legal complications.
“Theft of materials, vandalism, and liability reduction are key reasons to hire guards.”
Industry Safety Bulletin
In a Houston skyscraper build, DPS saw thefts plummet by 63% once guards were on-site. Their team used:
- 24/7 patrols to deter trespassers
- Digital access logs for all personnel
- Instant event notifications
Unprotected sites face three major risks:
| Risk Type | Average Cost | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Material Theft | $15,000 per incident | 1× per week (unsecured sites) |
| Vandalism Repairs | $8,200 per case | 2× monthly |
| Liability Claims | $42,000 avg. settlement | 12% of projects annually |
Construction security companies like Divine Protection Services cut these risks through visible patrols and strict entry protocols. One Florida builder reclaimed 19 weeks by stationing DPS at tool yards.
Access control matters: most break-ins happen when sites are unattended. Expert guard squads check IDs, monitor guests, and secure critical areas. Plus, it earns insurance discounts by showing you manage threats.
