Much of Clifton Hill's former industrial land, near Alexandra Parade, is being turned into apartments. Between the last tenant leaving and the first crew arriving, an old factory or warehouse can stand empty for a long time while plans go through.
Our mobile security patrols come in marked vehicles at times that change from visit to visit, drawing on one of Victoria's largest mobile patrol fleets. Officers check what you've listed, photograph anything that needs attention and record each visit in TrackTik.
Empty factories and warehouses. Doors, roller shutters and fences can be checked while a site waits for redevelopment.
Apartment projects under construction. Fencing, gates, site sheds and materials can be checked once the crew leaves.
Shopfronts and practices between tenants. Queens Parade premises that sit empty between leases or sales can be checked for damage, leaks and signs of entry.
Newly finished buildings. Car parks, entries and ground-floor commercial space can be checked before residents and tenants move in.
A former industrial site can wait a long time between closing and construction. Plans are lodged, revised and approved, and in the meantime the building stays empty. Without regular checks, problems such as dumped rubbish, a broken lock or a roof leak can go unnoticed.
A patrol plan for a vacant site can include:
Your site’s checklist decides what each visit covers. Common items are:
Patrol officers check your site and leave for the next one, so the site is unattended between visits. For a delivery, a concrete pour or any other time when someone needs to be there throughout, book static guarding. For alarmed buildings, add alarm response in Clifton Hill to cover activations between visits.
Each visit is logged with GPS tracking, time-stamped reports, site notes, incident records and photographs. Owners and developers can follow the condition of a vacant site without a site visit of their own, and builders can see what was found after hours.
Your account manager changes the patrol plan as the site moves from vacant, to construction, to occupied.
