Construction security

Construction site security that shows up when the crews go home

Most construction theft happens overnight and on weekends — exactly when the site is empty. Tectus coordinates licensed guards and patrols so it never actually is.

The problem

An unattended site is an open invitation

Copper wire, fuel, power tools, and heavy equipment walk off unsecured job sites every night, and general contractors carry the loss — in replacement cost, in schedule slip, and in insurance premiums. Fencing and cameras document theft; they don’t interrupt it.

On-site officers and scheduled patrols do. A visible guard at the gate or a marked patrol rolling the perimeter changes the math for anyone scoping the site.

Coverage patterns

How builders typically use the network

Coverage flexes with the build. Common configurations:

Overnight static post at the site entrance or laydown yard
Weekend and holiday patrols with documented rounds
Fire watch when hot work or impaired systems require it
Access control during deliveries of high-value materials
Short-term intensive coverage after an incident or attempted theft

FAQ

Construction security questions

It depends on location, hours, and whether you need a static post or patrols. Overnight unarmed posts are the most common configuration. Run your exact setup through the pricing estimator for a live number, then confirm it as a quote.

Yes. Weekend-only and holiday-only coverage is one of the most common construction requests — no long-term contract required.

Yes. When a fire marshal orders a watch — during hot work, sprinkler impairment, or before systems are commissioned — licensed fire watch coverage can be booked through the same request flow, often same-day.

They solve different problems. Cameras document; an on-site officer or patrol deters and interrupts. Many sites run both — cameras for record, coverage for the hours when theft actually happens.
