Construction Site Security Construction Leads by City (2026): 16,360 Projects in 25 Markets
On October 9, 2026, Builtie counted 16,360 site security projects still inside the site security award window across 25 markets in the United States and Canada. New York City leads with 5,179. The general contractor or developer buys site security as part of mobilization: fencing, cameras, guards and access control come out of the site setup budget, and lenders or insurers often require them.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.

When site security is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times site security from about 10% before construction starts to about 15%, with the last realistic approach at about 50%. The general contractor or developer buys site security as part of mobilization: fencing, cameras, guards and access control come out of the site setup budget, and lenders or insurers often require them.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where site security is typically awarded.
What to lead with: the theft and vandalism risk at the address, monitored camera or guard options, and how fast you can be installed before materials arrive.
Running the pipeline
Construction Site Security work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep the mobilization date, the site superintendent and the date the first deliveries land in the record. CRM for construction site security companies covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
