Escalating Theft at Construction Sites Requires Proactive Security Measures

The construction industry faces a significant issue that threatens profit margins and timelines. It’s the pervasive issue of theft, from power tools to skid steers and even excavators. And, while a nationwide problem, the states with the most cases are Texas, North Carolina, Florida, and California. 

According to the National Equipment Register, increasing thefts began in 2018, and the trend continues. In 2022, companies lost $400 million due to equipment theft. Some years place that figure closer to $1 billion.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to secure your job site. While locks, chains, and GPS tracking can help, construction security cameras offer the best defense when protecting your site from theft and vandalism.
