UK Construction Site Theft Costs £800 Million a Year 
The UK construction industry is a multi-million pound industry – and that’s just its losses! Seriously, latest statistics from insurer Allianz Cornhill recently revealed that theft alone costs the industry £800M a year. 
 
A survey conducted by the Chartered Institute of Building revealed that 92% of respondents were directly affected by petty crime, with 21% stating that their construction sites were robbed on a weekly basis. There’s no doubt about it: theft is an on-going issue within the industry, and it continues to increase in its likelihood. 
 
Theft and Vandalism 
As such, the construction industry currently struggles significantly with lost costs through both theft and vandalism. Theft of vehicles and machinery is common, whilst construction sites are also a popular target for the theft of metals – with over 7,000 metal-related thefts recorded per month. 1 in 5 sites are targeted nationwide. 
9 in 10 tradespeople have been victims of theft, over half (55%) experienced theft of their items from a building site and 83% said they have left portable tools and equipment on site overnight. 
Tradespeople reported the main impacts of this thefts included loss of income (55%) and extra costs to replace or hire new kit (43%). 
 
Plant Theft 
Plant theft is an ever-increasing problem for the plant-hire industry. With an estimate of over £100 million of plant stolen per annum, things need to change to stop this from increasing. 
 
What can be done? 
With a proven track record we work to reduce these risks by implementing bespoke security measures to secure your assets and investment. Our security guards act as a visual deterrent with regular monitored patrols. Our CCTV records any incident to gain valuable evidence to pass onto the police and intruder detection to secure perimeters, fuel stores and valuable on site goods.
