Construction Site Guarding

Equipment theft is a major source of loss to all contractors. While insurance may offset some of the financial costs of this loss, many uninsured costs are paid by all contractors (general and subcontractors). These costs include insurance deductibles, replacing depreciated items with new equipment, and production delays, paperwork and time in reporting and replacing stolen equipment.

The bottom line is that equipment theft costs contractors money and impairs their ability to offer competitive pricing for various construction projects. More importantly, some contractors’ equipment is worth tens of thousands of rands. Large contractors can have equipment worth hundreds of thousands of rands. Secure equipment means secure business.
