# Property and Construction Site Security: Why Prevention Costs Less Than Any Loss

Stolen machinery, damaged materials, unauthorised access: discover how to significantly reduce risks on construction sites and at vacant properties.

Construction sites and vacant properties are frequent targets. Stolen machinery, damaged building materials and unauthorised access cause millions in losses every year, not to mention delays to construction schedules.

Visibility Makes a Difference A visible, regular security patrol is the most effective deterrent. Anyone who sees that a property is being monitored will generally look for an easier target. Our patrols take place at varying times to avoid establishing a predictable pattern.

Controlled Site Access On construction sites in particular, security starts at the entrance: controlling who enters the premises helps prevent theft at the gate. We organise access controls, supplier lists and visitor procedures tailored to your construction schedule.

Documentation Matters Every patrol is documented, including the time, findings and photographs of any irregularities. This not only provides you with a clear record, but also offers valuable supporting evidence for insurers should an incident occur.

Technology and People Alarm systems and video surveillance are valuable tools, but they cannot replace an on-site presence. Combining both delivers the best results: technology alerts, people act.

Do you have a construction site or a vacant property in Berlin? We will prepare a security plan for you free of charge.
