Are you currently building your dream home or are you managing the construction site of
one? If you have answered yes then our next question is, is it protected from potential
vandalism or robbery?

Unfortunately, there has been an increase in theft amongst construction sites and private
properties, due to the unprecedented rise in price for some building materials. The reason is
due to the pandemic causing major delays in shipping and the rise in freight costs.

On Current Affair recently, Braven Group Services’ Director Craig Pages-Oliver, who
provides security for building sites, told them that ‘’we’ve seen a big increase, 60 per cent
increase in the theft of building material.’’

What’s even more shocking is that some fellow tradies are the thieves themselves!
“Especially in a new estate where there’s lots of builds, they’ll just go to another site and take
a door frame or take a lintel or take an extra piece of timber,” Mr Pages-Oliver told A Current
Affair.

Troy from Jim’s Security Wollert was asked to pre-wire security cables during the framing
stage for 3 townhouses. The townhouses are now alarmed, which will hopefully prevent any
robberies during the competition of the build.
