Building Site Security 'Cannot Be Ignored'

Construction News Image
Building Site Security cannot be ignored in today's Site Management.

Arguably, Building Site Security is important if Building Contractors have to keep up with their obligatory deadlines or mandates from Clients. Since prevention is better than occurrence, it becomes necessary that Contractors engage the Services of Private Security Companies to protect and prevent theft, vandalism, and other incidences that could disrupt, delay or even damage their building works. There have been many instances, where for example, six months work on a Building Site has been vandalised and equipments stolen at the end of a day's work at night. The untold hardship and embarrassment this could cause to a Developer or Building Contractor are enormous and cannot be over-emphasised.

The money charged for putting Security Guards on Sites are nothing in comparison to the adverse effects encountered by both Developers and Building Contractors when they ignore to take preventive measures to forestall these ugly incidences of theft, vandalism or utter destruction. Obviously, the effects of these forms of disruption could mean additional funds will be needed to complete the said projects. Of course, mention will also be made here of delays and even damage to a Contractors reputation or ability to deliver on schedule.
