Custom, cost-effective security for live build sites.

Construction site security, run inside the AOG operating model.

Construction site security sits inside the same AOG account as cleaning, FM and construction support. One project manager owns the contract. One control room holds the keys, the schedules and the camera feeds. One weekly report covers every officer hour, patrol and incident.

You take the service on its own, or alongside the rest of the security division. The covenant, the compliance ledger and the point of contact stay the same either way.

Security for live build sites: hoarding integrity checks, plant compound cover, gatehouse management and out-of-hours mobile patrols. Delivered alongside AOG cleaning, welfare and logistics, and traffic marshalling so the main contractor has one point of contact.

Why AOG

What you get that you would not elsewhere.

Security, cleaning, welfare and logistics, and traffic marshalling on one AOG contract and one weekly report

CSCS card checking and contractor induction sign-in built into the gatehouse operation

Overnight plant compound cover reduces loss and insurance exposure without a separate guarding contract

Incidents folded directly into the main contractor HSE log, not held on a separate system

Familiar with CDM 2015 and principal-contractor audit requirements from day one

Can mobilise over a weekend for programme-start or shutdown coverage

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What security does a construction site normally need?

Most live sites need some combination of hoarding and perimeter checks, gatehouse and access control, plant and material protection, and out-of-hours patrols. The right mix depends on programme stage, site value at risk and access points, so we scope it against the actual site rather than a standard package.

When should a site use guards, CCTV or both?

Static guarding suits sites needing physical access control or immediate intervention, such as an active gatehouse. Monitored CCTV can be more efficient for perimeter and overnight coverage where a physical presence is not required to act. Higher-risk or high-value sites often use a hybrid of both.

How do you protect plant, materials and compounds overnight?

Overnight cover typically combines routine hoarding and fencing integrity checks, dedicated cover for plant compounds, fuel bowsers and high-value materials, and marked mobile patrols across nights, weekends and shutdowns. This is scoped to the compound layout and the value at risk.

Can AOG manage the gatehouse as well as perimeter security?

Yes. Gatehouse operation, including CSCS card checks, contractor induction sign-in and delivery management, is delivered alongside perimeter and patrol cover under the same AOG team and the same weekly report to the main contractor.

What documentation is provided before mobilisation?

You receive assignment instructions covering duties, access control, permit-to-work checks and escalation routes, aligned to the site's CDM 2015 principal-contractor requirements. Incidents are then folded into the main contractor HSE log rather than held on a separate system.

Can security levels change as the build programme changes?

Yes. Cover is reviewed against the live programme, so hours, patrol frequency and the guard-to-technology mix can flex as the site moves from groundworks through to fit-out and handover.
