Construction
Every day of protection costs less than one day of delay caused by stolen materials.
Copper cabling, construction machinery and tools are a favourite target for theft on unguarded sites — and every stolen item means not just the material cost, but a delay to the build schedule. Vandalism on shell structures adds further costs that are rarely fully covered by insurance.
Wächtergroup protects construction sites to ÖNORM standard — from overnight protection of a single phase to mobile patrols covering an entire developer's project portfolio.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
At what construction phase does protection pay off?
Risk is highest after building materials and fittings are delivered, and during shell construction in densely built-up areas. Many developers specifically protect exactly these phases.
Is weekend cover enough, or do I need round-the-clock protection?
That depends on the risk and location of the site. We advise you based on a short risk assessment on whether weekend/overnight cover is enough or continuous presence makes more sense.
Does your protection meet insurance requirements?
We patrol to ÖNORM standard with complete documentation — these records can usually be used directly to satisfy insurance requirements.
