Canada’s construction industry has enjoyed a surge in productivity, with an uptick in current and planned projects that promise to inject vitality into several local economies. But the flip side of the coin is the ongoing risk that threatens thriving construction businesses: as companies grow and projects develop, they can become tantalizing targets for thieves.
site security is a major concern for business owners – and if it isn’t, it should be. South of the border, between $300 million and $1 billion worth of construction equipment is stolen each year, and things aren’t much better in Canada. One London-based construction business has experienced four break-ins so far this year, which highlights an alarming problem in the booming Southern Ontario city (there were an estimated 60 incidents of construction site thefts in London in 2016 alone).¹
