Why construction clients choose our guarding
Visible security presence
A visible guard presence can help deter unauthorised access, theft and vandalism around construction sites.
Gate and perimeter focus
Guarding duties can be shaped around entry control, perimeter checks and agreed site security procedures.
Security guarding while construction work is underway
Construction sites can face risks around tools, materials, plant and unauthorised access, particularly outside working hours or during more exposed stages of a project. At OWL Guarding UK Ltd, we provide construction site security guards to maintain a visible presence, support gate control and carry out agreed checks around site access points. From our base in Sutton, we provide construction security across London, with guarding duties planned around the site's layout, working hours and security requirements. Guards can monitor agreed entry and exit points, carry out perimeter checks and log incidents in line with the site's security brief.
Cover that fits different stages of the project
Some construction sites require guarding during particular stages of work, while others need ongoing security throughout a longer project. With OWL Guarding UK Ltd, we plan construction security around the site's operating hours, access points, duties and level of risk, with hourly rates agreed according to the requirements of the role. As a project develops, the guarding brief can be reviewed to reflect changes in access, working patterns or areas of concern. Where a post carries greater responsibility or requires broader experience, personnel can be matched to the requirements of the assignment.
Frequently asked questions

Construction security duties can include gate control, monitoring agreed entry and exit points, perimeter checks, maintaining a visible security presence and incident logging. The exact brief depends on the site layout, working hours, access requirements and level of risk.
Can construction site security cover different stages of a project?
Yes. Guarding can be arranged for particular stages of construction or as an ongoing requirement. The security brief can be reviewed as access points, working hours and site requirements change during the project.
What affects the hourly rate for construction site security?
Rates are agreed per hour and depend on factors such as the site layout, working hours, number of posts, access points, duties involved and level of risk. Different site requirements may require different guarding arrangements and levels of experience.
