Business Park security discussed

Plan security systems in at the outset of any commercial building projects and reap the benefits is the message to both developers and end users from Guide Security Services.

Business Park Security Plan security systems in at the outset of any commercial building projects and reap the benefits is the message to both developers and end users from Guide Security Services, one of the UK's leading integrated security solution and monitoring specialists.

GSS, which operates throughout the UK, has pioneered the process of incorporating leading edge security systems as an integral part of the overall design and build of a development.

Planning security in at the conceptual stage provides the opportunity to make well-proven cost savings, reducing disruption and ensuring sites are more attractive to potential clients.

This approach means cleaner, greener and more secure environments, providing peace of mind and improved safety.

Lone workers are protected, fly tipping eradicated, all major considerations for site occupiers, and important factors when leasing or selling any development.

People do not want to live and work in protected fortresses but do want the peace of mind 24/7 monitored security provision offers.

The GSS multi layered system, utilising an amalgam of integrated security systems and CCTV monitoring, eradicates the need to introduce security onto a site at a later stage, which is often expensive, disruptive and difficult to implement.

Early installation also has an added benefit in that the system can be immediately utilised, even at the construction stage, resulting in financial benefits and improved loss prevention controls.

Construction sites are protected from criminal activity even as building work progresses.

The control and management of the site is improved, including the health and safety of workers.

Mick Gains, QPM, Director of GSS explains; "It is much better to design a secure site - rather than trying to make a site secure".

"As Regen-security specialists we can advise developers and local authorities on security considerations, as the costs involved in correcting or managing a badly designed development are much greater than getting it right in the first place.

The unique GSS "blue print" for security provision being included from the conceptual stage of the build onwards, rather than as an "add on", is being successfully taken up by leading developers across the country.

Encouraging news for Architectural Liaison Officers who often experience difficulties in developers acknowledging their views on security, due to concern at the initial costs of security systems.

The cost of GSS security provision can be built into the service charges for a site, ensuring high quality security coverage is provided cost effectively.
