Construction Site Security in Tampa Bay

A job site is an easy target. Tools, copper, lumber, fuel, and parked equipment sit behind a fence that anyone can climb, and most losses happen after the last crew leaves. ESS Global has protected commercial and government construction sites across Florida since 2011, with licensed officers on the gate, on patrol, and on call around the clock. Every site gets a written protection plan built for that project: the hours you are exposed, the assets on the ground, the access points, and who needs to be called when something happens. You pay for the coverage the site needs, not a one-size package.

More than $1 billion a yearWhat construction companies lose to theft nationwide, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Tools, parked vehicles, and raw materials such as lumber, steel, and copper are the most common targets.

  • Office trailer protection, 24/7 when required

Every officer on your site

  • Licensed, bonded, and insured under Florida Security Agency License B 1200075, armed or unarmed to match the site
  • Trained in First Aid and CPR, with ongoing training through ESS Academy, our own state-licensed school
  • Reports directly to your site lead, and to law enforcement or fire rescue when it counts
