Construction materials are easy targets for theft. Learn how perimeter patrolling and material logging can save lakhs in project costs.
Open construction sites are a thief's playground. With no walls and high-value items like steel rods lying around, 'night-time lifting' is common.
Key Insight
"The cost of one night of theft often exceeds the cost of hiring security for six months."
Effective Measures
- Secure Storage Zones: Fencing off a specific area for expensive materials.
- Night Patrolling: Guards must perform hourly beats, not just sleep at the gate.
- Vendor Management: Ensuring scrap dealers don't enter without authorization.
