Construction Site Security
Building materials, machinery and tools are an easy target on an unguarded site — we make sure they stay out of reach.
Theft of copper cabling, machinery and tools, plus vandalism, cause significant damage on Austrian construction sites every year — mostly outside working hours, when the site is unsupervised. For larger projects, insurers increasingly require documented proof of security cover.
Wächtergroup secures construction sites to ÖNORM standard — from stationary overnight protection to mobile patrols covering multiple sites for a developer's portfolio.
Scope of service
What's included
- Stationary protection during nights, weekends and public holidays
- Mobile patrol rounds across multiple sites within the same developer portfolio
- Access control for subcontractors and delivery traffic during construction hours
- Checks on site fencing, containers and material storage
- Documented incident and damage reporting, usable for insurance claims
- Coordination with site management around critical construction phases (shell, fit-out)

Use cases
When this service is used
Demand is highest during the critical phase after materials and fittings are delivered, and for shell-construction projects in densely built-up Vienna districts. Developers running several parallel projects also rely on our mobile patrols.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does your construction site security meet my insurer's requirements?
We patrol to ÖNORM standard and fully document every visit — you can use these records directly for insurance requirements. Talk to us about any specific policy conditions.
Can you cover weekends and public holidays only?
Yes, that's one of the most common setups — many developers need protection precisely when no workers are on site. We build the staffing plan accordingly.
How quickly can protection start?
In urgent cases, such as after a break-in, we can typically respond quickly. For standard deployments, we recommend a lead time of a few business days for planning.
