Construction site security from NorthGuard
NorthGuard provides construction site security for builders, general contractors and developers across Toronto, the GTA and Hamilton. One stolen generator, copper run or set of tools can set a project back by days, and an injured trespasser can create a liability problem you do not need.
Our construction site security guards are licensed, CPR and First Aid certified, and experienced on active jobsites. They know the difference between a sub arriving early and someone who should not be there, and they keep your site locked down when your crews go home.

View serviceConstruction site security: common questions
When does a construction site need security?
Most theft happens at night, on weekends and over holidays, and when expensive materials or equipment have just been delivered. Many builders also add day guards to control access when many trades are on site.
Is construction site security only for large projects?
No. Smaller sites and renovations are often easier targets because they have less fencing and lighting. We can cover a single night after a big delivery or provide ongoing coverage.
Can you combine guards and patrols on a jobsite?
Yes. A common setup is a static guard overnight plus mobile patrol checks on weekends. We will recommend what fits the site and the budget.
