Construction site and vacant property security
Protect equipment, materials and vacant properties from theft and trespass. Gate control, perimeter patrols and overnight watch from $32/hour, with every patrol GPS-tracked.
What’s included
- Equipment & material protection — guards positioned over tools, copper, lumber and machinery that walk off unattended sites
- Perimeter monitoring — fence-line patrols with photo checkpoints at the spots trespassers actually use
- Gate & access control — contractor and delivery verification so only authorized people enter your site
- Vacant property watch — scheduled inspections that satisfy insurers and prevent squatting and vandalism
Why book through Guardy
Construction sites lose materials at night and on weekends — copper wire, power tools, fuel and heavy equipment are all resellable within hours. Fencing and cameras record theft; a licensed guard on site prevents it. Guards booked through Guardy patrol your fence line on an unpredictable schedule, verify locks and fuel caps, and challenge trespassers before losses happen.
Vacant properties carry their own risk: many insurers require regular documented inspections to keep coverage valid on an unoccupied building. Guardy’s photo-verified, time-stamped patrol reports give you exactly that paper trail, automatically, after every visit.
Site supervisors see guard check-ins live on a map, and every incident — attempted entry, damaged fencing, unsafe conditions — lands in a report the next morning. Book overnight coverage for the build’s duration or weekend-only watch; scale down as the site progresses.
Frequently asked questions
Do insurers require security on vacant properties?
Many Ontario insurers require documented regular inspections of vacant buildings to maintain coverage. Guardy’s time-stamped, photo-verified patrol reports provide that documentation automatically.
Can guards control site access during working hours?
Yes — gate guards verify workers, subcontractors and deliveries against your list, keep a site log, and turn away unauthorized visitors. It also gives you an accurate record of who was on site and when.
What’s better for a site: cameras or a guard?
Cameras document; guards prevent and respond. Most sites combine both — cameras for coverage, plus overnight or weekend guard patrols for the windows when theft actually happens.
