Construction Site Security Guards in Sacramento: Stop Copper and Diesel Theft Cold
Field notes from the Stormhammer dispatch desk — originally published July 2023, refreshed for current pricing.
The Real Cost of an Unguarded Sacramento Jobsite
One overnight break-in on a Sacramento apartment build typically strips $8,000–$22,000 in copper wire, PEX, diesel, and tools before the framer clocks in at 6 a.m. Copper crews scout a site for a week before they hit it; if they see a marked patrol truck at midnight and a foot patrol at 2 a.m., they move to the unguarded site two blocks over.
Foot Patrol vs. Static Post
For the framing and rough-in stage — the highest-theft window — we recommend a hybrid: a static overnight officer from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. inside a marked trailer, plus a marked patrol vehicle making three exterior loops per shift.
Documentation Your GC and Insurance Carrier Will Accept
Every shift we deliver a timestamped log with entry/exit times, photo documentation of gate condition, and written incident reports on any trespass, injury, or property damage.
OSHA-Aware, PPE-Compliant, and BSIS-Licensed
Every officer wears an ANSI Class 2 high-visibility vest, hard hat, and steel-toe boots. Every guard is BSIS-licensed under CA PPO #121830 and insured to $2M general liability.
