Keep your New York City jobsite safe, on-schedule, and compliant with construction site security from Building Security Services of New York (BSS). For 40+ years, our family-owned team has protected construction sites, renovations, and ground-up developments across all five boroughs, delivering reliable guards, tight access control, and responsive management that builders, owners, and CMs can actually reach 24/7.
Accountability that shows up. We’re family-owned (since 1982), licensed and insured, and active in regional industry groups, so you get a partner with roots, not a revolving door of vendors.
24/7 management access + one-hour emergency coverage. Need overnight coverage for a concrete pour in Long Island City? A second gate officer in Hudson Yards? Our management answers the phone day or night and can mobilize emergency coverage in about an hour.
Built for property owners & managers. Your goals – reduced liability, protected assets, and time back in your day, are central to how we staff, supervise, and report. Expect a single point of contact and consistent staffing that saves you hours each week.
Professional reputation. BSS is a BOMA NY/NJ member and a long-standing partner to some of the region’s largest companies. Proof that we combine building-operations savvy with construction reality.
We plug into what you already use, access control, CCTV, visitor management, and incident reporting, so your team and ours see one coordinated picture.
Daily activity reports, incident summaries, and executive-friendly rollups, delivered in the cadence and channels your stakeholders prefer.
We secure active construction and renovation sites throughout New York City:
Whether it’s a tower core in Midtown, a warehouse conversion in Sunset Park, or a multifamily project in Mott Haven, our teams understand local street conditions, traffic patterns, and community expectations that can make or break your schedule.
We review drawings, logistics plans, crane/pour calendars, and adjacent occupancy. We identify theft and trespass vectors (fence lines, scaffold, rooftops) and align posts to your milestone schedule.
Clear, site-specific instructions for gate, rovers, loading bays, man/hoist, and overnight watch, written so relief officers can execute flawlessly and supervisors can audit performance.
We match guard demeanor to the task: courteous but firm gatehouse pros, assertive overnight rovers, and detail-oriented fire watch.
On-site supervisory check-ins, radio discipline, incident logging, and quick adjustments for weather, manpower spikes, or deliveries that show up early.
Daily logs, weekly insights for PMs and supers, and a punch-list of security recommendations to accelerate TCO and handover, delivered via email with executive summaries for ownership.
If you oversee complex portfolios or marquee assets, you need a partner who reduces headaches, not adds them. BSS is optimized for commercial property owners, managers, and high-security organizations in the NYC metro. That means single-vendor simplicity, measurable risk reduction, and service standards aligned to your stakeholders.
Yes, overnights and weekends are routine. We scale fixed posts and rovers around concrete pours, crane days, and street closures, with management on call 24/7.
Absolutely. We connect with your CCTV, access control, visitor management, and incident reporting tools for unified visibility.
We maintain bench depth for rapid backfills and can activate emergency coverage within about an hour when needed.
We tailor communications to stakeholders, immediate phone/text for urgent issues, weekly email updates for PMs, and monthly executive summaries for owners.
Whether you’re building a high-rise in Midtown, a mixed-use development in Williamsburg, or a logistics facility on Staten Island’s West Shore, BSS delivers quiet professionalism and visible results.
