5 · How we deploy

From first call to guards on site

  1. 01

    Site Walk with Your Superintendent

    Our ops manager walks the Montreal site with your super to map fencing, lighting, trailer placement, material laydown, and high-risk zones before quoting.

  2. 02

    Documented Post Orders

    We deliver CNESST-compliant post orders — patrol route, checkpoint locations, incident escalation tree, RBQ/BSP credentials, emergency contacts — in your project binder.

  3. 03

    Assigned Guards, Not Pool Bodies

    You get the same 2–3 rotated guards on your Montreal site, not random pool rotations — they know your trades, your super, your neighbours.

  4. 04

    Daily Logs + Weekly QA

    Your super gets a daily digital log. Our ops manager visits the Montreal site weekly, audits the guard, and adjusts the post orders as the site evolves.

7 · Why Vision — Montréal

Why Montreal GCs Hire Vision for Site Security

A Montreal construction site sits at the intersection of copper-and-tool theft rings, CNESST inspections, Régie du bâtiment expectations, neighbour-complaint pressure, and trade liability. A generic overnight guard does not cut it — what you need is a BSP-licensed agent who documents perimeter walks, logs every visitor, understands the trade-sequence on your site, and keeps the binder your insurer and general contractor will both ask for. Vision Security runs dozens of Montreal sites — from downtown high-rise shells to Laval/Longueuil big-box builds to CCQ-regulated infrastructure — out of our Cavendish dispatch.

  • Construction-Specialist GuardsWe don't rotate condo concierges onto your Montreal build — construction guards are a separate, trained sub-bench.
  • GC-Binder-Ready ReportingIncident reports, daily logs and patrol verifications formatted for your project binder — CCQ/CNESST/RBQ ready.
  • Copper & Tool Theft ProtocolsTimed checkpoints around high-value laydown — the specific vector on Montreal sites this year.
  • Fast ReplacementsCavendish dispatch pushes a replacement from our Montreal standby bench — we don't leave a site unlocked.
  • GPS Checkpoint VerificationEvery perimeter walk logs an NFC/QR scan — auditable proof the round was actually walked.
  • Bilingual with TradesOur guards brief incoming French and English trades equivalently — no friction at the gate at 6:30am.

We Speak the Language of Montreal Construction

Our Montreal construction guards have stood posts on CCQ-regulated sites, shared trailers with Unit-level superintendents, and dealt with the specific frictions — copper runs, neighbour noise complaints, midnight concrete pours, CNESST surprise visits — that define a Montreal build. We brief every guard on the trade calendar before shift one.

BSP Agent Cards and CNESST-Compliant Logs

Every guard on a Montreal construction site holds an individual Bureau de la sécurité privée agent card and is covered under our CNESST registration. Daily logs, incident reports and patrol verifications are captured in a format your GC's safety officer, your insurer and any CNESST inspector will accept without follow-up.

Theft Deterrence, Not Just Presence

Copper wire, cordless tools, conduit spools and diesel-fuel theft are the real cost line on a Montreal site. Our patrols hit timed checkpoints around laydown areas, trailer-yards and transformer pads — not just 'on the trailer looking at a phone' presence.

Fast Replacements From HQ

When a scheduled Montreal site guard calls out, our Cavendish dispatch has a replacement on the road typically within 1 hour. On big-crew sites that means your super doesn't walk in to an uncovered gate on a CCQ-regulated day.

8 · Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are your Montreal construction site guards BSP-licensed?

Yes. Every guard on a Montreal construction site holds a valid individual licence from Quebec's Bureau de la sécurité privée. We verify before placement and at every renewal cycle.

Can you cover a Montreal construction site on short notice?

Yes. We've absorbed mid-project Montreal site hand-offs on under 4 hours' notice. Our Cavendish dispatch maintains a standby bench specifically for rapid deployment.

Do you provide CNESST-compliant documentation?

Yes. Daily logs, incident reports, patrol verifications and guard credentials are all maintained in formats that CNESST inspectors, RBQ auditors and your insurer will accept.

How much does construction site security cost in Montreal?

Montreal construction rates typically run $29–$40 per hour depending on post type (gate vs patrol), overnight/weekend premiums, required PPE, and whether the site is CCQ-regulated with additional vetting. Multi-site patrol rotations reduce the per-site blended rate.

Do you cover sites in Laval, Longueuil and the West Island?

Yes. Our Montreal dispatch covers all Greater Montreal construction sites including Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville, Saint-Laurent, Anjou and the West Island under one contract.

Can you do both gate posts and overnight watch on the same site?

Yes — and most Montreal clients combine them: day-shift manned gate for trade check-in, overnight watch post-shutdown, with a mobile patrol sweep during the hand-off hour.

What happens when my construction guard doesn't show?

Our dispatch is notified instantly by missed check-in. A replacement is dispatched from our Montreal standby bench typically within 1 hour, and missed hours are refunded per contract.
