The Challenge
A property developer purchased a 15,000 sq ft warehouse in Birmingham for redevelopment. The building would be vacant for 8-12 months during planning and demolition. The site had already experienced fly-tipping and there were reports of rough sleeping in the loading bay area. The developer needed security that could scale up during demolition works and scale down during quieter periods.
The Solution
Beyond Property took a phased approach. The initial deployment included 4 CCTV cameras with remote monitoring and perimeter alarm sensors. When demolition began, we added SIA-licensed security guards for daytime access control. Mobile patrols covered overnight. A flexible monthly contract was adjusted as needs changed throughout the project.
The Result
No break-ins or theft during the 11-month project. Fly-tipping stopped entirely after CCTV installation. The developer avoided an estimated insurance claim and maintained their construction timeline. Security costs came in 40% under the original budget thanks to the phased approach.
