Stolen equipment, copper theft and trespass do not just cost money. They cost days. Xtreme protects active and dormant construction sites with gate control, static officers, after-hours patrols and fire watch, with reports a superintendent will actually read.
A construction site changes every week. The gate that worked at excavation is the wrong gate at lock-up, and a weekend with no one on site is when equipment, copper and tools walk. We write post orders around the current phase: who is allowed in, how deliveries are logged, where high-value plant sits, and what happens after the last trade leaves.
Gate control is the foundation. Every worker, delivery and visitor is logged. No badge, no entry. During high-value phases — copper, rooftop equipment, a furnished show suite — a static officer holds the ground that a camera alone will not. After hours and on weekends, marked patrols from our 270+ unit fleet check the fence, the connexes and the plant, on a randomised schedule the site cannot predict.
When a fire system is impaired, or hot work is under way, a trained fire-watch officer keeps the site legal and logged until the system is restored. Those rounds are time-stamped and ready for the authority who asks. The same NSOC that dispatches patrols supervises a fire watch, so a gap on a Saturday morning is not invisible.
Reporting has to survive a site meeting. Daily activity reports and photo-backed incident reports go to the general contractor and the owner’s representative, escalated in real time when something is actually wrong. We work alongside the site’s own health-and-safety rules; we work inside the superintendent’s existing process.
Programmes run for a single pour or a multi-year build, and they scale from 40+ offices. Officers are licensed where required. Officers are licensed where required, and coverage is supported from Surrey, Bellevue and Brisbane with 24/7 NSOC backup.
Dormant sites need a different posture from a busy weekday gate — fewer people, more fence-line, more reason for a patrol to surprise a trespasser at 2 a.m. We adjust the programme when the site goes quiet, and we bring it back up when the next phase starts. Every programme is scoped precisely to your site after a free security assessment.
The risks we plan for
- Equipment, copper and tool theft after hours
- Trespass on active and dormant sites
- Uncontrolled gates and unsigned deliveries
- Fire-system impairments and hot-work periods
- Material yards and laydown areas away from the main gate
How a programme is built
A typical jobsite starts with gate control and sign-in, adds a static officer for high-value phases, and uses marked after-hours and weekend patrols for the fence and the plant. Fire watch is added when a phase or an impairment requires it. Daily reports go to the GC and the owner’s team.
We field 4,500+ full-time staff with access to a network of 17,000+ licensed officers, operate from 40+ offices, run 270+ patrol units and back every post with a 24/7 National Security Operations Centre and $10M liability coverage. Officers are licensed where required. Coverage is supported from our head offices in Surrey, British Columbia; Bellevue, Washington; and Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.

Frequently asked questions
Can you start a jobsite on short notice?
Yes. With 40+ offices and a network of 17,000+ licensed officers we can stand up a gate or an overnight patrol quickly. Tell us the phase, the hours and the address and we will confirm how soon we can be on site.
Do you provide fire watch as well as gate security?
Yes. Trained fire-watch officers run scheduled, logged rounds during impairments, hot work and other periods the authority requires, with time-stamped records.
How do you protect a site that is dormant or between phases?
Dormant sites usually move to a tighter after-hours and weekend patrol pattern, with fence-line and plant checks on a randomised schedule, and a static officer if the remaining value on site warrants it.
What do superintendents and owners receive in reporting?
Daily activity reports and photo-backed incident reports written for a site meeting, with real-time escalation when something is actually wrong.
How is a construction programme scoped?
An account lead walks the gate, the yard and the phase of work, then writes post orders and the reporting a superintendent will actually use.

Phases, not a single static plan
Excavation, structure, interiors and a dormant winter shutdown each have a different risk. A gate that is correct in week four can be the wrong gate in week forty. We review the programme when the phase changes, and we say when a static officer should be added, when a weekend patrol should tighten, and when a fire watch is required because a system is impaired or hot work is under way.
The first conversation with a general contractor is practical: where the fence is weak, where plant sits overnight, how deliveries arrive, who holds keys, and who receives the report at 6 a.m. We would rather be precise about a two-week high-value window than sell a 24-hour static post the site does not need. Every programme is scoped precisely to your site after a free security assessment.
Short-notice call-outs happen — a stolen catalyst, a fence cut, a countdown to a concrete pour. With 40+ offices and a network of 17,000+ licensed officers we can stand a gate or an overnight patrol up quickly, then settle it into a calmer pattern once the immediate risk has passed. Reports stay in a form a superintendent can table at the morning meeting.

A construction programme is written for the phase you are in. Coverage is stepped up for a high-value fortnight and stepped back when a phase goes quiet, so the post on site matches the work on the ground. That is how we work with general contractors and owners in Canada, the United States and Australia.
