Common construction-site loss vectors
- Copper theft — wiring, plumbing, HVAC components stripped for scrap value (currently roughly $4/lb); most acute during MEP rough-in phase
- Equipment theft — skid steers, mini-excavators, generators, compressors, manlifts; high-value and highly portable
- Tool theft — power tools, hand tools from gang boxes and trailers; frequent and difficult to recover
- Material theft — lumber, plywood, drywall, appliances, fixtures; high-volume from residential subdivision builds
- Vehicle and trailer theft — work trucks, equipment trailers parked overnight
- Vandalism — graffiti, broken windows in finished units, damage to formwork
- Arson — particularly during framing phase when exposed timber is vulnerable
- Trespass and squatting — homeless encampments, after-hours partying, unauthorized photography
Coverage approach by build phase
- Site prep and grading — exterior perimeter patrol focused on equipment overnight
- Foundation phase — copper rebar and underground utility protection during staging
- Framing phase — high lumber-theft and arson risk; armed coverage often warranted for residential framing
- MEP rough-in — copper plumbing and electrical wire highest theft risk; primary period for tight coverage
- Finishes and appliance phase — appliance and fixture installation period; theft risk shifts to installed assets
- Post-completion / pre-occupancy — vacant building with installed assets; vandalism and squatter risk
- Active occupied building TI — coordinated coverage with building security; concierge-style officer at TI access
