Construction Site Security
Protecting Your Assets, Equipment, and Workforce
Construction sites across Las Vegas are prime targets for theft, vandalism, trespassing, and costly project delays. Unsecured equipment, exposed materials, and unfinished structures create opportunities that opportunistic criminals actively look for — and a single incident can set a project back weeks and cost thousands of dollars in losses and downtime. At American Star Guard, we specialize in securing construction zones throughout Las Vegas and the surrounding Nevada region with trained, licensed security officers who maintain constant vigilance over materials, equipment, and personnel from groundbreaking to final walkthrough.
Our site-specific strategies include access control, perimeter checks, after-hours patrols, and rapid emergency response to ensure smooth operations and regulatory compliance. Whether it’s a commercial high-rise near the Strip, a residential development in Henderson, or an infrastructure project in North Las Vegas, we tailor our services to meet your schedule, risks, and site requirements. With our presence, you gain peace of mind knowing your site remains protected around the clock — even when your crew has gone home for the day.

Innovating Security Solutions
Asset & Material Protection
Heavy equipment, tools, copper wiring, and construction materials are among the most commonly targeted items on active job sites, and theft of these items is one of the leading causes of budget overruns in the construction industry. Our guards remain alert around the clock to protect your valuable assets, conducting regular equipment counts and flagging any signs of tampering or missing inventory before small losses become major setbacks.
Fire Watch & Safety Enforcement
When fire suppression systems are inactive during construction phases, our trained fire watch officers monitor for hazards and ensure safety protocols are followed in line with local fire code requirements. This is especially important on sites using hot work — welding, cutting, or torch-based activity — where fire risk is elevated and code compliance is non-negotiable.
Flexible Coverage Options
Whether you need overnight surveillance during the framing phase or full-shift coverage throughout an entire multi-month build, we scale our security plans to meet your timeline and budget. Coverage can be adjusted as your project moves through different phases, from initial groundbreaking through final inspection.
Industry-Specific Security Expertise
With extensive experience securing construction sites throughout the Las Vegas valley, we understand the unique challenges of protecting active work zones — from managing subcontractor access to coordinating with site supervisors and general contractors.
Custom-Tailored Security Plans
Every construction site is different, requiring a personalized security strategy. We assess project needs, potential vulnerabilities, and risk factors — site layout, material value, neighborhood crime patterns, and project timeline — to develop a tailored security approach before your first guard ever steps on site.
Highly Trained Security Personnel
Our security officers undergo rigorous training in construction site safety, trespasser deterrence, emergency response, and theft prevention. Every officer is licensed under Nevada state requirements and screened before placement on any job site.
Technology-Driven Security Solutions
We implement modern security technology, including mobile incident reporting, real-time officer check-ins, and digital daily activity logs, to deliver unmatched protection and give project managers visibility into site security without needing to be on-site themselves.
Reliable Protection That Keeps Your Project on Track
Delays, theft, or accidents on a construction site can cost thousands of dollars and set your entire project timeline back. That’s why American Star Guard offers more than just a watchful eye — we bring accountability, rapid response, and preventative protection tailored to your site’s needs throughout Las Vegas and the surrounding area.
Let us help secure your investment and maintain a safe working environment from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting.
FAQ
Do I need security for a small construction site?
Even smaller job sites face theft and liability risk, especially once equipment or materials are delivered before active work begins. Many insurance policies and municipal permits also factor site security into coverage and compliance requirements, so it’s worth a quick assessment regardless of project size.
Can you provide overnight-only coverage?
Yes. Many clients only need protection during non-working hours when the site is unsupervised. We offer flexible scheduling, including overnight-only and weekend-only coverage, scaled to your project’s actual risk window.
Do you offer fire watch alongside construction site security?
Yes — many of our construction clients bundle fire watch coverage during phases when fire suppression systems are offline, ensuring both theft prevention and fire code compliance are handled by the same team.
Are your guards licensed in Nevada?
Yes, all American Star Guard officers are licensed and screened in accordance with Nevada state security guard requirements (NV PILB2073B).
How quickly can security be deployed to a new site?
In most cases, we can have officers on-site within 24-48 hours of an initial consultation, depending on shift requirements and site access needs.
