How Mobile CCTV Systems Secure Home Build Sites
18 Oct 2022
Home build construction sites are often a magnet for security issues such as trespass, theft, vandalism and even arson.
While there are many ways to secure a sight, selecting the right mobile CCTV system can help to significantly reduce such issues.
The systems are often invaluable when consideration is given to the cost and time impact of replacing lost equipment, vehicles, and appliances, and the knock-on effect these have in terms of project delays.
Having supplied mobile CCTV systems to construction companies for over 20 years, WCCTV below explains how these systems help eradicate crime.
Security Threats at Home Build Construction Sites
Building Materials
Recent reports suggest an easing of shortages across most building materials, but the cost price of almost every material is still significantly up from pre-pandemic levels.
Coming out of the pandemic, new challenges have emerged, with both the war in Ukraine and rising inflation having a serious impact on home building costs.
Core items such as bricks, roof tiles, paint, coating, steel and electrical items are all subject to longer lead times and increased costs according to the Construction Leadership Council.
This, along with increased demand, has created a thriving black market for these items - with thieves targeting sites with weak security measures in place.
Loss of Sales
Poor security measures at a home build site opens the door to vandals who can damage the site, making it look rundown before it even opens.
This can have a detrimental impact when prospective house buyers are visiting show houses. If they sense that the area has an issue with crime and anti-social behaviour it may put them off making a purchase.
