What's being built in Berkeley

Berkeley jobsites we protect

University-adjacent housing and lab projects, downtown mixed-use, West Berkeley industrial conversion, and residential seismic retrofit work.

Every post is built around how your site actually runs — gate hours, trade schedules, lay-down yards and the equipment that can't be locked up at the end of the day.

What gets stolen in Berkeley

Street-side entry onto scaffolded sites, tool theft from ground-floor storage, and graffiti and vandalism to exterior work.

A single copper pull or stolen tool trailer usually costs more than a month of overnight coverage — before the schedule slip.

Overnight jobsite guards

Uniformed BSIS-carded officers posted from shutdown to first crew arrival on Berkeley sites — the hours copper, tools and fuel actually disappear.

Mobile vehicle patrol

Marked SUV patrols with randomized arrival times across Berkeley: gate and lock checks, trailer and conex verification, GPS-stamped stops.

Access & gate control

Trade check-in, delivery verification, badge and sign-in logs, and turning away anyone without a reason to be inside the fence.

Fire watch & alarm response

Hot-work fire watch, temporary alarm response, and after-hours callouts when your camera vendor pushes an alert.

Documented field reports

Photo-backed daily activity reports from every Berkeley shift, written so they read straight into your project file.

Encampment & trespass logs

Documentation of encampments, dumping and repeat trespassers so abatement and law enforcement have a usable paper trail.

FAQ

Berkeley construction security questions

How fast can you get a security guard to my Berkeley construction site?

Berkeley is covered on the Oakland–Richmond patrol route with same-day short-notice options. Dispatch answers 24 hours a day at 1-800-823-5337.

Do you cover all of Berkeley?

Yes — we cover jobsites across Berkeley and the wider Alameda County, including Downtown Berkeley, West Berkeley, Southside, Gilman District.

What does construction site security cost in Berkeley?

Berkeley pricing depends on hours, site size, the number of gates and whether you need a posted overnight officer or scheduled mobile patrol stops. Quotes are free and returned within one hour during business hours.

Are your Berkeley guards licensed?

Yes. Summit Force Security Group is a licensed California private patrol operator, PPO #122730, regulated by BSIS under the Department of Consumer Affairs, and every officer working a Berkeley site carries a valid BSIS guard card.

Can I book a guard for a single night or weekend in Berkeley?

Yes. Single-night, weekend and holiday shutdown coverage in Berkeley is available with no long-term contract, which is how most Alameda County builders start before extending to a full schedule.

Do you provide fire watch for Berkeley jobsites?

Yes. Hot-work and impaired-system fire watch is available across Berkeley, with documented rounds and time-stamped logs that satisfy fire marshal and insurance requirements.

What is stolen most often from Berkeley construction sites?

Street-side entry onto scaffolded sites, tool theft from ground-floor storage, and graffiti and vandalism to exterior work. Coverage is scheduled around those hours rather than a generic shift pattern.

Will I get reports from my Berkeley site?

Every Berkeley shift produces a time-stamped daily activity report with GPS-verified patrol stops and photos, emailed each morning. Incidents are reported immediately, not the next business day.

Do you handle multiple Berkeley jobsites for one builder?

Yes. Builders running several Berkeley or Alameda County projects can share one patrol route with consolidated reporting and a single invoice, which usually costs less than posting an officer at every address.
