The recently implemented 25% tariffs on materials from Canada and the 10% tariff on Canadian energy are already sending shockwaves through the construction and property industries. These changes mean higher costs for essential materials like steel, lumber, and aluminum, compounded by increased energy expenses. As a result, we’re seeing projects slow down, repair costs spike, and timelines stretch far beyond what was once predictable.
But there’s an even greater risk looming: unsecured, high-value materials sitting on vulnerable job sites for longer periods.
Why This Matters to Property and Construction Owners:
Extended Project Timelines = Prolonged Exposure: Delays mean valuable materials, equipment, and partially completed structures are left unprotected for longer durations.
Rising Replacement Costs: With material prices skyrocketing, theft or vandalism now carries an even steeper financial penalty.
Liability Concerns: Unmonitored sites increase the risk of accidents, unauthorized access, and potential legal headaches.
The Smart Solution: Security as a Cost-Saving Investment
While it may seem counterintuitive to add a new expense during tough times, dedicated security can actually save you money in the long run. Here’s how:
Overnight Patrol Services: Deter theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access when your site is most vulnerable. A visible security presence reduces risks significantly.
Dedicated Property Officers: Full-time security ensures continuous oversight, immediate response to incidents, and proactive threat identification.
Customizable Security Plans: Whether you need mobile patrols, on-site guards, or surveillance solutions, we tailor services to fit your specific needs and budget.
Protecting your assets is no longer optional—it’s essential. The cost of a security program is a fraction of what one major theft, vandalism incident, or liability claim could set you back in today’s volatile market.
