Fit Out Construction Site Security

Why Security Is Necessary During Fit Out Construction

During a project, a Fit Out construction manager should have the right security measures in place and have a delegated team or outsourced management to handle this responsibility. 

Ultimately, when construction is underway anywhere, the premises are always vulnerable. 

Simply put, premises under construction never have sufficient security without systems designed to protect the site. Depending on the size of the project, a range of solutions can be customised to work best for the bespoke requirements of each Fit Out project that is both convenient and effective. Find some of these solutions below and start securing your Fit Out project, today. 

Security Services VIS Provide for Fit Out Construction Sites

The amount of Fit Out construction security required is subjective to the project itself, depending on the duration of the project. While some Fit Outs may be on-going for a long time, not all have this extensive nature; that being said, you can combine and utilise particular solutions that suit the project.

At VIS Systems, we can tailor a range of security solutions for your Fit Out construction project such as:

• Remote monitored CCTV control room
• Mini Solar Tower 365
• Construction site CCTV
• Construction Site Access Control
• CSCS Smart Check
• Facial recognition system

Our services are not only limited to this, we have extensive workforce monitoring and construction site security measures to choose from, so get in touch and we can recommend the best solution for your construction site Fit Out project.

Our Fit-out Construction Site Security Projects

PRIMARK

‍

Over several years, VIS Systems has played a key role in supporting projects that span over half a million square feet of retail space, covering 16 PRIMARK stores across England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. These projects, valued at over £69 million, involved upgrading, refurbishing, and reimagining the stores to align with the retailer’s high standards for quality and customer experience.

To support these extensive efforts, we implemented a range of advanced security and workforce management solutions. A standout feature was the installation of bespoke half-height turnstile systems integrated with face recognition technology, ensuring secure access control and efficient worker flow on-site.

Premier Inn | Manchester‍

Appointed by GMI Construction, VIS Systems has implemented a comprehensive suite of security solutions to protect the site of a new 10-storey hotel in Manchester, set to begin in autumn 2024. We installed solar-powered CCTV systems for 24/7 surveillance and provided real-time monitoring through our remote control room, ensuring rapid responses to potential threats. Additionally, vibration monitoring technology was introduced to detect unauthorised access and prevent security breaches. These measures are not only safeguarding the site but also helping to keep the project on schedule for its autumn 2026 completion.

Manchester ‘Jenga’ Hotel

Valued at £35 million, the Adair Street hotel project hinged on the lifting of coronavirus restrictions, and we at VIS Systems were proud to lead the way in securing the construction site. Designed by Stephenson Studio, the 14-floor, 110,000 sq ft hotel will feature a unique Jenga-inspired architecture, making site security crucial to prevent tampering or vandalism.

This project will bring significant benefits to the community, including nearby residential developments and a new public square with a café bar. At VIS Systems, we are committed to ensuring the safety of such impactful projects, offering top-tier security services to keep sites and staff safe. We take pride in our role in this and other large-scale projects, continually enhancing our reliability and service quality across all construction sites.

GRAHAM – Scarcroft

VIS Systems played a crucial role in ensuring security and smooth operations during the construction of Audley Scarcroft Park, a £46m retirement village in West Yorkshire. We implemented a comprehensive plan early on, securing the site, protecting valuable heritage features, and maintaining strict access control and site monitoring. Our proactive measures allowed the project team to focus on delivering a luxurious, secure development while we safeguarded assets and ensured smooth operations.
