J​​​ob site theft isn’t just an inconvenience — in Alberta, it’s a $50,000+ problem that can derail entire projects.

For contractors, project managers, and business owners, the hidden costs go far beyond the missing equipment.

When thieves strike, they target high-value items like power tools, copper wire, generators, and heavy equipment.

A single incident can leave you replacing thousands of dollars in stolen assets.

But the losses don’t stop at the tools themselves.

Every missing piece of equipment means lost productivity.

Crews sit idle, deadlines are missed, and penalties stack up.

For oil & gas projects and construction sites, a week-long delay can push costs into the tens of thousands.

While insurance may cover part of the loss, claims take time — and repeated theft incidents drive up your premiums.

Worse, if your site doesn’t meet insurance compliance requirements, you may not be covered at all.

Clients trust you to protect their investment. A major theft can damage your reputation, leading to lost contracts and fewer future bids.

In a competitive Alberta market, reputation can be worth more than any single project.
