The State of
Construction Site
Security
We analyzed monitoring data from thousands of active jobsites across 2025, in partnership with Noonlight. 2,000+ break-ins later, the patterns are clear. Most sites still haven’t caught up.

We will show you the data, the patterns, and what to do about it.
Jobsite theft is becoming more common. Most sites still treat it like a minor risk.
Construction site theft costs the U.S. industry an estimated $1 billion annually and that number understates the real damage. Equipment and material losses are recoverable. The schedule impact often isn’t.
In the 2026 State of Construction Site Security report, TrueLook and Noonlight share original data from thousands of monitored jobsites. You’ll learn:
- Exactly when theft happens — the peak hours, the highest-risk days, and the seasonal spikes that put your site most at risk.
- How criminals actually get in — most break-ins don’t involve fence-cutting or force. The most common method is simpler than you’d expect, and most sites make it easy.
- Why 170,000+ alarms led to only 2,000 police dispatches — and what verified human monitoring means for your relationship with local law enforcement and your crew’s peace of mind.

The 24/7 monitoring was the deciding factor for us. We wanted real protection against break-ins and theft, not just a camera recording after the fact. And because we own the equipment, we take it right to the next jobsite.
