Construction Site Security in Miami

Overnight and weekend officers, gate and delivery control, mobile patrols, photo documentation for general contractors and insurers, and fire watch during hot work and system shutdowns, for high-rise, residential and commercial job sites across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

A building site changes as work progresses. Open gates, staged materials and temporary lighting can leave gaps after crews depart. FSO Guard provides construction security in Miami and South Florida, from periodic patrols to fixed overnight posts and daytime gate control.

Construction security services

Overnight and weekend officers

An overnight officer checks gates, equipment and stored materials between shifts. Weekend and holiday coverage can follow the same plan. Alarm and incident steps are written into the post orders.

Gate and delivery control

Daytime officers log workers, visitors and deliveries. They compare arrivals with the schedule and apply entrance rules set by site management.

Mobile patrol

For sites that need visits rather than a fixed post, a marked patrol vehicle checks gates, equipment and trailers. Visit times vary, with time-stamped photo reports.

Photo documentation

Start- and end-of-shift photos record visible site conditions. They can help the contractor review a loss or change discovered later.

Fire watch

Fire watch officers can support hot work or temporary fire-system outages under the site’s watch plan.

Equipment and trailer tracking

Lawful GPS tracking of your own generators, trailers and equipment.

Theft investigations

Licensed investigators for repeated losses, subcontractor collusion and recovery of stolen equipment.

Hurricane preparation and recovery

Storm coverage can support pre-storm closure and post-storm access control. The plan accounts for damaged fencing, lighting and stored materials.

How we set up job site security

  1. Walk the site. Review gates, lighting, equipment, materials and the construction schedule with the project manager.
  2. Set post orders. Define patrol routes, delivery checks, alarm steps and who to call.
  3. Brief the roster. Regular and relief officers learn the current layout and site rules.
  4. Review reports. Photos and daily logs document the work. Supervisors adjust coverage as the site moves from structure to finishes and close-out.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What gets stolen from construction sites in Miami?

Copper wire and pipe, tools and power equipment, appliances and fixtures staged for install, fuel from equipment, lumber, AC units and generators. Losses spike on Friday and Saturday nights and in the weeks before a project closes when finished materials are on site.

Do we need a full-time guard or a patrol?

Large sites with staged materials, tower cranes or active night work usually need an officer on site overnight and on weekends. Smaller sites often do well with mobile patrol, with several randomized checks per night with photo reports. We recommend after seeing the site.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance to the general contractor?

Yes. FSO Guard is a licensed Florida security agency and carries the insurance the state requires; certificates naming the GC, owner or developer are issued on request.

Do you provide fire watch during hot work?

Yes. Fire watch officers for welding, cutting and torching operations, and during temporary shutdowns of alarm or sprinkler systems in partially occupied buildings under renovation.

How fast can you start?

Usually within 24 hours; same-day coverage is often possible after a theft or incident. Long-term sites get a site visit, post orders and a fixed roster.
