Construction site security in Sydney, costs and licensed providers

Construction site security protects a site outside working hours, when tools, materials, fuel and copper are most likely to walk. The usual options are a static guard on the gate overnight, mobile patrols checking the perimeter several times a night, or patrols with alarm response as backup. Which fits depends on stage and value: a fit-out stage full of fixtures justifies a guard, early civil works often only need patrols. Price drivers are the coverage model, the hours (overnight loadings apply), site induction requirements, and duration, week-to-week cover through a build prices differently to one week over Christmas shutdown. Many builders are also satisfying an insurance or head contract condition, so keep the paperwork, providers supply shift reports on request.
