Construction site theft is estimated to be 1 Billion annually in the USA. Additionally history as shown that as the economy slows, crime increases. During the 2008 recession, crime increase significantly. The is a double blow to businesses and especially contractors and those in the construction industry. Economists believe we will dip into a recession during the year 2024 at the same time, rising interest rates are increasing borrowing costs for those interested in residential and commercial construction projects. This will likely lead to many projects being postponed.
As projects become more scarce and competition increases contractors must ensure the projects run smoothly and control losses due to theft, fire, and injuries. This increases the need for monitored video surveillance. Budget constraints require that businesses do more with less labor. Monitored surveillance has proven to be effective at stopping or reducing construction site theft. Sites that may have used 1 or more security guards may be protected better by using a monitored surveillance system. This can help reduce costs and control theft.
