Client Overview
A $4.2M Residential Development in Werribee, VIC
Our client was a mid-size construction company managing a 28-townhouse residential development in Werribee’s fast-growing western corridor. With 40+ workers on site during the day and no security presence at night, the site became a target for opportunistic theft within weeks of breaking ground.
The company had already suffered two confirmed break-ins resulting in the theft of copper wiring, power tools, and scaffolding components — estimated at over $40,000 in losses — before contacting this Security Guard Services Company in Melbourne.

Security Challenges Identified
- Before SGS was engaged, the site faced multiple ongoing vulnerabilities that made it an easy target:
- No overnight guard presence — site unmonitored 6PM to 6AM
- Poor perimeter fencing with two unsecured access points
- $200K+ of unprotected plant equipment left on site
- No incident reporting system or documented security protocol
- Two prior break-ins reported to Victoria Police — no arrests
- No overnight guard presence — site unmonitored 6PM to 6AM
- Workers reporting missing tools on consecutive mornings
On-Site Security — What We Deployed
Our Solution
Rapid Deployment. Tailored Protection.
Full Site Security Audit
Day 1 — Risk Assessment
Our security coordinator visited the Werribee site within hours of the initial call. We mapped all access points, identified lighting gaps, assessed equipment storage, and documented the two prior incident locations. A custom security plan was delivered the same evening.
Static Guard + Mobile Patrol Unit Deployed
Day 2 — Deployment
We stationed two licensed static security guards at the main gate from 6PM to 6AM, with clear instructions on access control, visitor logging, and emergency escalation. A mobile patrol unit performed 3 drive-through perimeter sweeps per night across the site's 4 outer access points.
Unauthorized Entry Attempt Caught on Night 6
Week 1 — First Intercept
On the sixth night of deployment, our static guard intercepted two individuals attempting to access the site through a side fence at 2:17AM. Police were called. The individuals were detained and later charged. Our guard filed a full incident report within the hour — shared with the site manager by 7AM.
90 Days of Zero Theft or Damage
Months 1–3 — Ongoing Coverage
Over the full 90-day engagement, SGS guards intercepted 4 total intrusion attempts, maintained detailed nightly patrol logs, and coordinated directly with the site foreman each morning. Not a single item was stolen or damaged during the engagement period.

"We'd lost over $40,000 in gear before we called SGS. Within a week they'd already caught someone trying to get in. Their guards are professional, they actually show up, and the nightly reports gave us confidence that the site was being looked after. We've since put them on our second project in Tarneit. I wouldn't use anyone else."
