Overview

What we see in this sector.

Construction sites in Metro Vancouver are one of the highest theft-loss categories in the province — and the loss curve gets worse as the build progresses. Copper, lumber, tools and skid-mounted equipment all disappear in waves between framing and drywall. Beyond direct loss, the bigger cost is downstream: a stolen wire run halts every trade on site for a day, blowing your schedule. We've built our construction security around the operational reality of an active site — gate control and visible deterrence during the day, dedicated guard presence after hours, code-compliant fire watch when systems are down, and reporting that lands cleanly in your insurer's hands when something does go wrong.
