Construction security planning for Henrico County jobsites
Construction projects can have changing access points, deliveries, subcontractor traffic, valuable tools and materials, and periods when the site is lightly occupied or empty. NESF structures construction site security around the actual project schedule and the duties assigned by the contractor or project representative rather than using a one-size-fits-all guard post.
Coverage can support access, deterrence and documentation
Depending on the assignment, a construction-security post may include observing designated entrances, checking authorized access, maintaining a visible security presence, performing agreed patrol or observation rounds, documenting unusual activity, and promptly escalating incidents to the contacts identified in the post orders. NESF can also discuss overnight, weekend, temporary and longer-term construction coverage.

When requesting construction security in Henrico County, provide the project address, requested start date, daily coverage hours, number of entrances or posts, expected project duration, officer quantity and the specific responsibilities you need performed.
