Bristol Construction Site Security Company
Plus Security Ltd are the leading construction site security company in Bristol and the surrounding areas. We understand the security issues and potential outcomes from not having adequate construction site security in place right from the start. The theft of valuable plant, tools and machinery is distracting enough, but the actual replacement time of these essential items can wreak havoc with production deadlines. A team of construction workers unable to progress due to the unavailability of a key piece of machinery can be horrendously expensive. One single penalty clause can easily outweigh the costs of comprehensive construction site security. It makes sense to have security protocols in place right at the commencement of the project.
Construction Sites in Bristol – Easy Targets?
Construction sites are deemed relatively easy targets for theft of plant and machinery. Last year, theft in the UK construction industry cost over £800 million.
One staggering statistic is that just under 10% of stolen plant machinery in the UK is ever recovered, compared to an almost 60% recovery rate for motor vehicles. In simplistic terms, construction sites are easy targets for criminals. Add into the mix that security fencing is generally woefully inadequate, as are access controls and there is no wonder that construction project insurance premiums are rising year on year, with some insurance companies now flatly refusing insurance cover.
Construction Site Insurance Premiums Increasing Year on Year
Insurance companies are now becoming frustrated with the excessive claims made by constructions sites as a result of vandalism and theft and are ensuring that premiums are being charged at realistic rates for the risk involved. This also covers interruption to construction progress, when replacement plant and machinery is being waited for and work cannot commence. So the increasing costs of insurance claims means that security has to be taken more seriously than ever before.
