Construction Site Security in Miami

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 construction site is an outdoor warehouse with no walls, tens of thousands of dollars of copper, tools and appliances, and nobody home after 5 p.m. FSO Guard provides construction site security in Miami and South Florida — overnight and weekend officers, gate and delivery control, mobile patrols with photo reports, and fire watch during hot work — for high-rise towers, residential developments, commercial build-outs and renovations.

Job sites we protect

  • High-rise residential and hotel towers in Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles and Fort Lauderdale
  • Single-family and townhome developments in Doral, Homestead, Pembroke Pines, Parkland and Boca Raton
  • Commercial build-outs — retail, restaurants, offices and medical
  • Renovations of occupied buildings and condominium concrete restoration projects
  • Infrastructure and roadway projects with equipment yards
  • Marina and waterfront construction
  • Storm-damage reconstruction after hurricanes

Construction security services

Overnight and weekend officers

An officer on site from close of work to the morning shift and through weekends and holidays — patrolling the site, checking staged materials and equipment, controlling the gate and responding to alarms and intruders.

Gate and delivery control

Daytime gate officers logging workers, subcontractors, deliveries and visitors, verifying deliveries against schedules, enforcing PPE and site rules at the entrance, and keeping unauthorized people out.

Mobile patrol

Randomized checks several times a night by a marked patrol vehicle — perimeter, gates, equipment, trailers — with time-stamped photo reports, for sites that do not need a full-time post.

Photo documentation

Time-stamped photos of the site condition, materials and equipment at the start and end of each shift — the record general contractors and insurers want when something goes missing.

Fire watch

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

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

Coverage while the site is secured before a storm, and protection of the site and materials afterward when fencing and lighting are down.

How we set up job site security

  1. Site visit with the superintendent or project manager — perimeter, gates, lighting, staged materials, equipment, schedule and phase.
  2. Post orders — patrol routes and checkpoints, gate procedure, delivery verification, alarm and intruder response, who to call.
  3. Roster — fixed officers who know the site, with relief officers pre-briefed.
  4. Reporting — daily activity reports with photos, incident reports immediately, supervisor visits; coverage adjusted as the project moves from structure to finishes to close-out.

Why contractors choose FSO Guard

  • Licensed Florida security agency (Class B), Class D and Class G officers, insurance as required by the state; certificates of insurance for GCs, owners and developers on request.
  • Officers who stay awake and walk the site — GPS-verified patrols and photo reports prove it.
  • Fast start — usually within 24 hours, same-day after an incident.
  • Flexible — from a nightly patrol to 24/7 coverage, scaled with the project phase.
  • English, Spanish and Russian speaking officers for South Florida’s construction workforce.

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 — 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.
