Don't Fall Foul of the 'Buy Cheap' Culture
Over the past 15 years we have seen lots of changes in the construction industry with highs, followed by the inevitable lows. With the economy currently in the grip of recession, every business is looking for ways to reduce its costs but cutting certain corners, like overall site security, can often be more costly in the long run.
CCSec has become aware of an emerging trend where construction firms buy purely on price and are taken in by what appears to be a great deal – comprehensive site security at bargain bucket prices. However, once the purchase is complete and the kit installed they quickly realise the equipment is sub-standard and doesn't do what they need it to!
There are many many security companies out there, all claiming to be the cheapest and the best, but time after time, we hear stories from customers where they have installed bargain security equipment and it just doesn't work. In one particular case, a customer told us the site monitoring equipment simply did just that, and there was no means of raising the alarm. It's all very well having a site monitored, but if there's a break in or security breach, there needs to be a mechanism for raising an alarm so that action can be taken – quickly!
Security is vital if you want to keep a project on time and on budget. If key components go astray or are damaged by uninvited visitors it could delay a project by days or weeks – costing you dearly in lost time. And it's not just about protecting a site against theft – increasingly video surveillance footage is used in Health & Safety scenarios, helping protect construction companies against unjust claims.
CCSec provides end to end site security from access control systems, state-of-the-art CCTV equipment, which is monitored 24 x 7, through to effective plant vehicle alarms! And the good news is, all its solutions work together. It can supply everything you need and CCSec WILL respond if you have a security breach!
Remember, it's often a case of buy the cheapest, buy twice! If a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is! Construction companies need adequate and reliable protection as the consequences of not having them are often too costly to the operation of the business.
