New Construction Project Security — Sacramento Jobsite Patrol
Every new construction project hits the same window — framing complete, copper rough-in, HVAC dropped, but no occupancy and no alarm. Stormhammer marked-unit patrol runs documented overnight tours of new construction projects across Greater Sacramento — copper, equipment, tool, and lumber theft deterrence with photo-verified gate checks and same-shift PM reporting.

Frequently asked — new construction project
Frequently asked questions
When should a new construction project bring in patrol?+
Most GCs start nightly patrol once the building is dried-in and copper / HVAC / mechanical equipment is on-site — typically 30–60% completion. Pre-dry-in coverage is usually 2–3 tours/week, scaling to nightly through punch-list and turnover.
Do you offer combined patrol + fire watch?+
Yes — combo packages cover both standard jobsite patrol and NFPA-compliant fire watch during sprinkler outages, hot-work permits, or alarm system commissioning. One officer, one PO, one report stream.
