Our Security Process

How We Deliver Residential Security

Residential and development sites carry different risks at every stage, from an active build through to show homes, part-occupied phases and full handover. AGS Security follows a structured four-stage process to ensure each development is properly assessed, professionally staffed and effectively managed. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

01

Consultation & Planning

We begin by discussing the development, its current build stage, occupancy status and specific security concerns or contractual requirements.

  • Initial security consultation
  • Development phase and site review
  • Security objectives and priorities
02

Site & Risk Assessment

We review the site layout, perimeter, show homes, unoccupied plots, plant and materials storage and foreseeable risks such as theft, vandalism and unauthorised access.

  • Perimeter and access point assessment
  • Risk and vulnerability checks
  • Recommended officer deployment
03

Officer Briefing & Deployment

Suitable SIA-licensed officers are selected, assigned clear duties and fully briefed before arriving on site, including key holding and out-of-hours patrol arrangements where required.

  • Officer role allocation
  • Access-control and patrol briefing
  • Emergency procedure instructions
04

Ongoing Operational Support

Our management team remains available throughout the development to supervise the operation and adapt security cover as the site progresses from construction through to occupation.

  • Ongoing operational supervision
  • Clear officer communication
  • Rapid management assistance

Yes. AGS Security provides residential and development security throughout the United Kingdom, supporting managed developments, gated communities, build-to-rent schemes and new-build handovers.

Yes. This is a common part of a concierge-style residential contract, alongside core access control and patrol duties.
