Construction site security you can evidence
Perimeters, compounds, plant and cabins — patrolled on a schedule, scanned at each point, and reported to the site manager without anyone typing it up.
Construction sites are the classic case for a guard tour system. The site is large, poorly lit and half-built; the value on it is enormous; and the client — a site manager who is on site every day — will notice immediately if the patrols are not real.
Plant, copper, fuel and materials walk off sites that are not visibly watched. The point of checkpoint scanning here is not bureaucracy: it is that a patrol that actually happens, on an irregular schedule, at the points that matter, is what stops the loss.
What SMS-Patrol handles for you
The specific jobs that come up in construction sites work.
Perimeter and compound checks
Fix weatherproof NFC tags at gates, fence corners and the compound; drop GPS points along open boundaries.
Irregular patrol timing
Set a required number of tours per night rather than a fixed clock, so patrols do not become predictable to anyone watching.
Damage and trespass reports
Photos, GPS and time captured at the fence line, in the officer's hand, not written up at 6am.
Plant and fuel checks
Individual checkpoints on excavators, generators and fuel bowsers so high-value items are confirmed each round.
Reporting to the site manager
A scheduled morning report showing every tour, every checkpoint and anything found overnight.
Officers alone on a dark site
SOS and check-in timers, with position, for the one guard on a twelve-hour night.

Construction sites — common questions
Outdoor-rated NFC tags are sealed and weatherproof and cope fine with rain, mud and cold. Use those for external points rather than paper QR labels, which need laminating and eventually get destroyed.
The app queues scans, photos and reports on the device and uploads them automatically when signal returns. The original event times are preserved.
Yes. Schedule a report to email your client every morning, or give them a copy of the nightly patrol summary as a PDF. Most customers set this up on day one because it removes the daily phone call.
Under an hour typically — add the site, drop the checkpoints, fix the tags on your next visit. Temporary and short-duration sites can run on GPS checkpoints alone.
