Every construction site has its own set of challenges, but what remains important is the value of protecting expensive machinery, materials, and overall project timelines. At Select Solutions, we specialise in construction site security solutions that meet the demands of all types of projects, whether temporary or long-term.
With machinery and equipment theft on the rise— affecting 92% of UK site owners —it’s more important than ever to have robust security measures in place. In fact, construction site theft led to £800 million in losses in 2020 alone, causing not only financial damage but costly project delays. Construction sites, often located in remote areas, become prime targets for criminal activity, highlighting the need for professional construction site security.
Here at Select Solutions, we offer everything your construction site security needs, including mobile CCTV towers, SIA-licensed security guards, and access control systems to ensure your site remains secure 24/7. With our in-depth construction site risk assessment, and robust security measures, we tailor our security strategies to your specific needs, helping you prevent threats before they happen.
When you partner with Select Solutions, you’re choosing a company with a proven track record of delivering top-tier construction site security that keeps your site—and your bottom line—protected.
Effective construction site security is about identifying threats and putting security systems in place to eliminate them, and when you choose Select Solutions, you will be working with a company with a fantastic track record of doing just that.
One of the most prevalent threats is theft, with a 2022 report by The Chartered Institute of Building revealing that 92% of construction projects experiencing theft on-site weekly. Thieves often target valuable equipment, tools, and materials, which can easily be resold, leading to losses that can amount to millions of pounds annually. In addition to theft, sites are vulnerable to vandalism, which can delay projects and increase costs through damage to machinery or incomplete work.
Arson is also a notable risk, with the UK Fire Statistics Data showing that around 40% of all fires on construction sites are started deliberately. These acts of arson don’t just cause extensive damage but can also pose serious health and safety threats to workers and nearby communities.
To combat these risks, construction companies must implement comprehensive security strategies. This can involve physical measures like barriers, surveillance systems, and regular patrols, as well as remote monitoring solutions that provide 24/7 site oversight. By employing a tailored approach, companies like ourselves at Select Solutions ensure that building sites in the UK remain secure, protecting your investments and keeping projects on track.
When you contact us, a highly trained security professional will attend your site as soon as possible. They will use their extensive knowledge and experience to identify threats based on the location of your building site and the nature of the project. We will then suggest the site security options bespoke to you.
If you are happy to proceed, we will put this site security strategy into action after consultation on key details such as the route of mobile patrols and the nature of your construction site access control.
Protecting a construction site requires a multi-layered approach, combining physical deterrents, surveillance systems, and proper access control. Here are some effective security measures you can implement to safeguard your site:
Each of our security personnel hold a current Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence and are highly trained to deal with a variety of construction industry specific threats, and their presence alone is enough to put off unauthorised entry to a construction site.
Depending on the needs of your site, our manned guarding services can be tailored to include mobile patrols, static guarding, or even dog-handling units. Larger construction sites may require 24-hour manned guarding to maintain continuous protection, while smaller sites might benefit from periodic patrols or dog security. These services can be seamlessly integrated with other site security measures, such as CCTV surveillance, to provide a comprehensive security solution. By monitoring live CCTV feeds, guards can take immediate, informed action to address any breaches.
Collaboration with construction site managers and workers is crucial to ensure that all security protocols are followed effectively. It’s important that everyone involved is familiar with the systems in place and takes responsibility for adhering to them.
If you manage a construction site and have security concerns, our team is here to help. We offer free consultations and customized solutions, from perimeter protection to 24-hour surveillance, to ensure your schedules, staff, and assets remain protected.

These towers offer a highly cost effective security solution for sites that are not active or where 24/7 manned guarding is not a possibility. These CCTV towers are particularly useful for inactive sites or locations without mains electricity, offering flexibility and ease of use in a variety of environments.
CCTV towers are one of the best forms of construction site security due to the fact they can be moved and installed with ease. They also don’t need access to mains electricity, making them the perfect construction site CCTV solution. With 360-degree coverage and crystal-clear HD video recording, these towers ensure comprehensive monitoring of large areas, capturing every detail of the surroundings.
Our cameras are also equipped with smart AI intrusion detection technology and features like virtual tripwires can be added to protect your site in certain areas. Remote access capabilities allow site managers to control access and view live imagery from anywhere in the world via mobile devices, thanks to secure 5G transmission. This enables real-time management and rapid response to any incidents, even when the site is unattended.
We offer remote monitoring services with every CCTV tower, which means our trained security guards continuously check for alarm activations and can take immediate action. Whether it’s alerting emergency services, deploying a security team, or initiating pre-agreed security protocols, we ensure your site is protected no matter what.
For construction sites looking for comprehensive, adaptable security measures, CCTV towers provide an unmatched level of protection and peace of mind.
We are proud to say that our services are second to none when it comes to protecting your site from theft vandalism, arson, and more, all at an extremely reasonable price.
