CONSTRUCTION SITE SECURITY
Protecting Job Sites, Materials, and Equipment
Construction sites are magnets for theft. Copper wiring, power tools, heavy equipment, and building materials disappear overnight when sites go unguarded. In Memphis alone, construction theft costs contractors millions of dollars every year. Shield of Steel provides dedicated construction site security officers who understand the unique risks of active job sites and know how to prevent losses before they happen.
