The crew leaves at 5, but the tools, equipment, and materials stay behind. That’s when a site is most exposed. Before locking up, walk the perimeter. Make sure the fencing is intact and the gates are chained, put portable tools in a locked container, and check that the lights work around entrances and wherever the expensive equipment is parked.
Keep keys and access cards somewhere secure, not in a truck cab or on a hook by the trailer door. Take photos of your equipment and write down serial numbers, since recovery is much easier when you have records. And as the build moves along, walk the layout again. A new entrance or a temporary storage area is easy to miss, and those gaps are the first thing someone looking to steal will notice.
Whoever watches the site overnight needs a clear handoff. Tell them who is allowed on site after hours, give them current emergency contacts, and explain how to report an open gate, damage, or someone who shouldn’t be there. Depending on the site, an on-site guard or scheduled mobile patrols can cover the closing routine. Contact Iron Gate Security to talk through coverage that fits your project and schedule.
