Construction Site Security in Seattle
A jobsite changes every week. Security that was correct at excavation is rarely correct at framing, and the coverage has to move with the schedule.
Service overview
Construction Site Security in Seattle
Construction sites concentrate high-value, portable property in locations that are open by day and empty by night. Copper, tools, fuel, appliances, lumber and equipment all leave easily, and a single loss can cost more than a season of coverage — before counting the schedule impact of waiting on a replacement.
Defensive Strike builds jobsite coverage for Seattle-area projects around the current phase of work: perimeter integrity, gate and access management, material storage areas, equipment staging and the hours between the last trade leaving and the first arriving.
Coverage typically combines methods. Cameras hold the perimeter continuously, patrol provides physical checks at intervals, and stationed personnel are added during high-exposure phases or when deliveries and access require someone at the gate.
Designed for
- Ground-up commercial construction
- Multifamily and residential development
- Tenant improvement and renovation projects
- Infrastructure and site work
- Equipment and material laydown yards
- Contractor storage facilities
- Projects with phased occupancy
- Sites with prior theft or trespass history
What it addresses
Problems this service helps solve
The situations that most often prompt a property to bring in this kind of coverage.
Equipment and tool loss
Portable equipment disappears overnight from sites that appear unattended, often repeatedly once a site is identified as easy.
Material theft
Copper, wire, appliances and lumber are targeted specifically. Storage placement and coverage of those areas matters more than general site coverage.
Unauthorized site entry
Trespassing on an active site is both a loss risk and a liability exposure. Perimeter checks and access management reduce it.
Access nobody is tracking
Multiple trades, deliveries and subcontractors move through a site daily. Gate coverage creates accountability for who came and went.
Coverage options
Available coverage
Coverage is assembled from these components in the combination your property needs.
Overnight and weekend staffing
Stationed coverage during the hours the site is closed, when nearly all jobsite loss occurs.
Gate and access coverage
Personnel at the entry point during active hours to manage deliveries, trades and visitor access.
Mobile patrol checks
Scheduled vehicle visits with perimeter and interior checks for sites that do not require continuous staffing.
Perimeter inspection
Fencing, gates, barriers and lighting checked for damage, gaps and signs of attempted entry.
Jobsite camera systems
Camera coverage of gates, laydown areas and equipment staging, with recording for review after an incident.
Phase-based adjustment
Coverage that changes as the project moves from site work through framing, finishes and turnover.
Our approach
How Defensive Strike approaches it
- 1
We start with the schedule. What is on site now, what arrives next month and when the highest-value material is exposed all shape the plan.
- 2
Perimeter and access come first. Most jobsite loss traces back to a gap in the fence line or an unmanaged gate.
- 3
Reporting goes to the people who need it — superintendents and project managers should see overnight activity without chasing it.
- 4
Coverage scales down as risk drops. There is no reason to pay for framing-phase coverage during closeout.
Technology integration
Where technology fits
Temporary camera systems are particularly effective on jobsites, covering the perimeter continuously between patrol visits. Where a site office or trailer needs controlled entry, access control can be added for the duration of the project.
Planning process
How coverage gets set up
The same clear four-step process for every property we work with.
