Construction projects move fast. Schedules are tight, subcontractors rotate in and out, and expensive equipment sits on open lots with little to no protection after hours. In this environment, reliable jobsite security isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a critical part of keeping your project on time and on budget.
At Intense Fire and Burglar Alarms, we understand the real-world risks that come with every phase of construction. Based in Indianapolis and licensed to serve a 50-mile radius around the city, we help general contractors, project managers, and developers put scalable protection in place without slowing down the build.
Looking for rapid-deploy security that won’t stall your project?
We install jobsite-ready video, access, and fire protection systems tailored to construction environments. Start with a site-specific plan now or call us at (317) 970-5770.
Jobsite Security Challenges: More Than Just Theft
Construction sites face a unique set of vulnerabilities, especially after hours. Heavy equipment, building materials, and tools are often left unattended in open spaces, making them easy targets. According to estimates from industry sources like the National Equipment Register and the National Insurance Crime Bureau, jobsite theft causes hundreds of millions—possibly up to $1 billion—in losses each year across the U.S.
But it is not just about what gets stolen. When equipment goes missing, your project timeline takes a hit. Delays lead to budget problems. Replacement costs pile up. And in some cases, unsafe conditions or code violations result when critical components or systems are damaged or tampered with.
How We Help Secure Construction Projects
Our team specializes in building complete jobsite security solutions that are built for the construction environment. We use scalable technology backed by responsive, local service—so your crews stay focused, and your equipment stays protected.
We deploy video surveillance solutions from partners like Bosch, OpenEye, and Hanwha. These platforms work well for temporary installations and give you visibility into staging zones, entry points, tool storage, and perimeter access. For added protection, we offer live video monitoring through CHeKT, which allows for real-time incident detection and professional response through a central station.
Access control is another key component. We install Brivo and Cantec systems that work for temporary gate entries, trailer doors, or internal lockup points. These systems give site managers control over who comes and goes, without the need for added security personnel.
We also provide temporary fire protection for jobsite structures. Our systems from FireLite, Honeywell, and Bosch meet code and are suitable for temporary installations in trailers, storage areas, or partially finished interiors.
To support the infrastructure behind it all, we use structured cabling built on Panduit systems—ensuring reliability, even in temporary deployments.
We Build for Indiana’s Builders
We’re a family-owned company based right here in Indianapolis. We hold license LAC000476 and maintain ESA membership. Our team trains to NICET standards, and we know what it takes to support contractors, builders, and developers working under pressure.
Nearly all of our clients are commercial. This means our team is focused on securing job sites, not repurposing residential systems for complex builds. If you’re managing a construction project, our systems are designed with your environment in mind.
Don’t Wait Until There’s a Problem
Security should never be an afterthought. If you wait until something goes wrong, the cost and impact will be much higher than it would have been with a proactive plan in place.
We can help you deploy jobsite security that works from day one. Whether your project lasts two months or two years, we’ll create a system that protects your people, your materials, and your timeline.
