Client Scenario
Multi-Phase Residential Build — Hamilton
A general contractor breaking ground on a 280-unit condo tower experienced overnight copper theft within the first two weeks. DW Security deployed two overnight guards with GPS-logged patrols covering the laydown yard and underground entrance. We installed a check-in protocol for sub-trades arriving before 6 AM and coordinated directly with the site superintendent on daily handover reports.
Result: Zero theft incidents over the remaining 14-month build. The contractor extended coverage to two additional project sites in the GTA.
Risk coverage
Common risks we address
- Theft of copper wiring, tools, and materials from unsecured sites
- Vandalism and graffiti on unfinished structures
- Unauthorized trespassing by non-workers after hours
- Safety hazards from unmonitored access during active construction
- Contractor and vendor access management during shift changes

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you provide overnight-only coverage?
Yes. Many construction clients need guards only from site close to site open. We staff overnight shifts, weekend blocks, or 24-hour coverage depending on your project phase.
How quickly can you deploy guards to a new project?
Typically within 24 to 48 hours of a confirmed service order, depending on location and shift requirements.
Do your guards enforce PPE and visitor sign-in rules?
Yes. Our guards follow your site’s health and safety protocols, including verifying PPE compliance at access points and maintaining visitor sign-in logs.
What types of construction projects do you cover?
High-rise residential, ICI (industrial, commercial, institutional), infrastructure, subdivisions, civil works, and demolition sites across Ontario.
Large construction projects often benefit from layered security. Our GPS-tracked mobile patrol services supplement static guards with vehicle rounds across expansive sites. For laydown yards and material staging areas, our dedicated yard security program provides perimeter oversight, and our temporary security staffing covers specific build phases without long-term contracts.
