The Real Math

One Hit Costs More Than a Season of Coverage

Industry estimates from the National Equipment Register and NICB put U.S. equipment theft between $300 million and $1 billion a year, with fewer than one in four stolen machines ever recovered. And the machine is only part of the loss.

The deductible, the rental to replace the machine, the crew standing around Monday morning, the deliveries you can't accept: that's the real invoice for an unguarded site. See our full NJ rate guide or call (856) 528-8885 for a firm quote.

Standing the Watch

What a Firewatch Officer Does On Your Site

Not a warm body in a truck. A trained officer working a post: patrols on a set schedule, eyes on every access point, and a written record of all of it.

01

Scheduled Patrols

Rounds through equipment staging, laydown areas, structures, and the perimeter, all night, every night of coverage.

02

Gate & Fence Line Checks

Access points verified secure on every round. An open gate at 2am gets found at 2am, not at Monday roll call.

03

Visible Deterrence

A marked, professional presence that tells anyone casing the site to pick a different target.

04

Written Patrol Logs

Every round timestamped with areas covered and anything observed. Documentation you can hand to your PM, owner, or carrier.

05

Immediate Escalation

Trespasser, cut fence, tampered machine: you and the police hear about it in the moment, not the morning.

06

Flexible Coverage

One overnight, weekends only, a shutdown stretch, or the life of the project. Coverage matches the exposure.

Jobsite Security FAQs

Jobsite Security Questions We Hear Every Week

Quick answers to the questions security buyers ask most.

01What does overnight construction site security cost?
Unarmed security officers run $20 to 25 per hour with Semper Secure, so a 12-hour overnight shift lands between $240 and $300 a night. A full weekend of coverage, Friday evening through Monday morning, runs roughly $1,200 to $1,500. Armed officers run $25 to 30 per hour. You get a firm written quote before anything is booked.
02Do security guards actually stop equipment theft?
A visible, professional officer on site changes the math for anyone casing the property. Most jobsite theft is opportunistic: an open gate, a dark site, nobody around. An officer patrolling on a set schedule, checking gates and fence lines, and logging everything takes the easy target off the table, and when someone tries anyway, the officer is there to escalate to police immediately instead of you finding an empty pad Monday morning.
03Armed or unarmed for a construction site?
Most jobsites run unarmed coverage. Sites with a history of break-ins, high-value equipment, or repeated after-hours activity sometimes step up to armed officers. Tell us about the site and we will recommend the right level, including when unarmed is the better fit.
04How fast can an officer be on my site?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours, often faster when a site has just been hit. Coverage can start as a single overnight shift and run as long as the exposure lasts.
05Can you cover just weekends or a shutdown period?
Yes. Weekends, holiday shutdowns, the stretch between phases when the site sits idle, or every night for the life of the project. You pay for the hours coverage actually runs.
06What does the officer do all night?
Patrols the site on a set schedule, watches gates, fences, and access points, checks equipment staging and material laydown areas, identifies anyone who should not be there, keeps a written timestamped log of every round, and calls you and the police the moment something is wrong. Standing a post is the job, and our officers are trained for it.
07Will hiring site security help with my insurance?
Ask your carrier. Some offer credits for sites with documented professional security, and our written patrol logs give you the documentation. What we can promise is the record: every round logged, every incident reported in writing.
