We know construction companies around New Zealand are battling with the rising costs of materials and labour! You’ve got enough on your plate already, so why risk opening yourself up to a security breach too?
5 Reasons Why Hiring a Construction Security Company in NZ Is Essential
With the cost of construction these days, savvy Kiwi companies in the construction industry would do well to think, not just about where they can reduce their expenditure, but also how they can prevent added expenses from stolen or vandalised materials and lost time as the result of a security mishap!
It’s easy to think that you could put off hiring a security company until you have less going on, more money coming, etc. but there’s no time like the present and it really is essential for you to keep your company secure. Who better to do that than a professional security company?
If you’d like to avoid a security breach, you don’t just want any old security set up, you want great security. And if you want great security, then you need to talk to us at Frontline Security. We specialise in supporting businesses on their security frontline, with an individualised approach to suit your unique needs.
Since we started in 2015, we’ve grown to be one of the most trusted security companies in New Zealand – if you’re considering hiring a professional security company, we’ve got the experience and the passion to keep your construction business secure.
Here’s how hiring a security company like Frontline Security will help to protect your business and give you peace of mind:
1. Protect your assets
When it comes to security, we always say that the first step is creating security awareness within your company. But, if you want to truly protect your assets, then you need a security company that will be there, even when your team isn’t.
If you’re in the construction business, you’re probably looking to secure your work sites. Construction sites typically house valuable equipment, machinery, and materials, so you’d be mad not to want to protect your assets!
Most construction site assets are vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access. A construction security company can provide onsite guards or employ technological solutions like surveillance cameras and access control systems to protect your assets. This ensures that your construction project remains on schedule and within budget by preventing losses and damages.
2. Avoid those extra costs
Sure, you’ve got good insurance. But if you fall victim to a breach, you’ll still likely have to pay an excess, spend hours on the phone or sending emails, and depending on what kind of security breach you experience, your site may be down until you can get your claim sorted and it may not be possible to recover everything that was lost.
Let’s face it, no one wants to deal with that! The best way to keep things running smoothly is to ensure you’ve taken every measure to protect your company’s security.
3. Fill your customers with confidence
Of course, you have to maintain a secure site to be compliant with local councils and to maintain your insurance, but security is also about your reputation.
Your customers trust you to turn their dreams into a reality. While construction may be your bread and butter, to your customer, their project may be everything they’ve ever worked towards. You want to ensure your customers trust you completely, and having top-notch security certainly helps!
While on some jobs you may be contractually obliged to have a minimum level of security in place, it’s always nice from a customer’s point of view, to see their construction partner going above and beyond. So, the real question is, do you want to be known as the construction company that goes the extra mile to protect your customers’ best interests? Yeah, we thought so! We want you to be known for that too, so let us help you make it happen.
4. Prevent criminal activity
Quite simply, visible security measures act as a deterrent to potential criminals. Construction sites are often targeted by thieves looking to steal equipment or materials so, to protect your investment, you want to send a clear message that the site is actively monitored and protected.
In terms of deterring thieves and vandals, a monitored alarm system and lots of signage can help, but the best option to keep things secure is to have static guards on your site. Take a proactive approach to your security, maintain the integrity of your site, and avoid costly repairs and delays; our highly-trained security guards can be ready to spring into action if there is an emergency outside of your usual work hours, when your site would usually be unmanned.
You won’t have to worry about prying eyes, malicious intentions, or even fires; with a guard onsite, you’ll have someone trained for the job, ready to raise the alarm if something seems off.
5. Keep your people secure!
Your most valuable asset will always be your people! Without them, you simply wouldn’t be able to do what you do. So, it makes sense that they should be your top priority when it comes to hiring a construction security company in NZ.
We all know that construction sites can be hazardous environments with heavy machinery and the potential for accidents. Security personnel can help enforce health and safety protocols while your team are at work to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, and they can also ensure that only authorised personnel enter restricted areas. In the event of an incident, our security guards are first-aid trained and prepared for emergency situations, so you know your people will be in safe hands.
So, have we convinced you to take action with your construction business’s security?
With our security guards, patrol services, alarm monitoring, and security systems, whether you’re in Auckland, Wellington, or Hamilton, we’re ready to help you keep your construction company safe from a security breach. Just give us a call and we’ll take care of the rest!
