Who is responsible for theft on a construction site?

Responsibility for construction site theft depends on contracts and site conditions. Liability may fall on the owner, general contractor, or subcontractors. Loopholes and exclusions in contracts often complicate accountability.

Does builder’s risk insurance cover theft?

Not always. Builder’s risk insurance often excludes theft of unsecured tools, smaller equipment, or losses caused by subcontractors. These gaps can leave construction projects vulnerable without additional security measures.

How can theft be prevented on construction sites?

AI-powered video surveillance, intrusion detection, and mobile remote surveillance trailers help prevent theft. These solutions proactively deter criminals in real time and provide reliable video evidence for investigations.
