On a job site, security is a schedule problem before it is a safety problem. Copper walks on a Friday night, the replacement takes eleven days to arrive, and now the electrical rough-in has moved the whole sequence. The theft was the cheap part.
A job site is not equally worth stealing from for its whole duration. There is a window, usually from when mechanical, electrical and plumbing material lands through to lock-up, when the most portable value is sitting on site with the least protection around it. Wire, tools, fuel, appliances and copper are what leave.
Blanket coverage for the life of the project is the expensive way to handle that. Tell us the schedule and we will build coverage around the phases that matter, scale it up when the valuable material is on site and stop when the building is secure. That is a conversation about your timeline, not a fixed monthly number.
Welding, cutting and torch work require a fire watch during the work and after it stops. OSHA's standard sets at least a half hour afterward, NFPA 51B sets 60 minutes, and plenty of insurers and owners write the longer figure into their own requirements. The watch has to cover adjacent areas too, including the floor below.
This is the requirement that gets discovered at 4 p.m. when everyone wants to go home. If you know hot work is coming, it can be scheduled into the job. If a fire system is out of service in an occupied building you are working in, that is a different and more urgent requirement, and our fire watch guide covers what your fire marshal will be looking for.
Most general contractors are running more than one job at a time, in different phases, in different suburbs. Setting up a new vendor per site is friction nobody needs.
We would rather hold one relationship across your projects: one point of contact, consistent reporting, coverage that starts and stops as each site needs it. Flexible terms matter more here than almost anywhere else, because a project timeline is a moving target and a twelve-month contract on a seven-month job is somebody else's problem becoming yours.
When material does go missing, the questions come fast: when was it last seen, who had access, was the gate secured, what does the log show. A written record with times is what turns that from an argument into a claim.
Every shift produces a report. If there is an incident it gets its own report the same shift, written to be handed to your insurer, the owner or the police rather than to sit in a folder.
We walk the property, document what we find and give you a written plan and price. No cost, no obligation, and the findings are yours either way.

Construction sites are frequent targets for material theft, equipment tampering, and vandalism, especially during nights and weekends when crews are off site.
Fire WatchWhen a fire suppression or alarm system is out of service, many Minnesota jurisdictions require a continuous or hourly fire watch to remain compliant and keep occupants safe.
Patrol ServicesPríomh Security provides scheduled foot and vehicle patrols for commercial properties, parking facilities, and mixed-use sites across the Twin Cities.
Short-Term CoverageWhen a situation calls for security on short notice, Príomh Security fills the gap with vetted, uniformed guards for single days, weekends, or extended short-term contracts.
Written to be useful whether or not you ever hire anybody.
If your sprinkler system or fire alarm is out of service right now, this page covers what Minnesota requires, who actually makes the call, and what a compliant fire watch looks like.
