About the Client

Cala Homes is one of the UK’s most respected housebuilders. They’ve built a reputation for beautifully designed homes and exceptional build quality. From their headquarters in Edinburgh, they’ve been creating communities that families are proud to call home.

Quality is at the heart of everything they do. Their vision is simple: building places to be proud of. That commitment extends beyond the homes themselves to every aspect of their development, including site security.

Their Coventry development was a prime example of this approach. A busy construction site with valuable materials, expensive equipment, and a team of workers who needed to feel safe. For Cala, security wasn’t an afterthought it was a priority from day one. 

Understanding the Security Challenges

Active construction sites face constant security threats due to open perimeters, evolving site layouts, and high-value materials stored on-site.

When CALA Homes engaged with our Coventry security team for their Coventry development, several critical vulnerabilities needed addressing:

  • High Risk of Theft & Trespass: Unattended sites are prime targets for opportunistic crime, opportunistic copper/tool theft, and intentional damage or vandalism.
  • Protecting Plant & Equipment: Machinery, specialised building tools, and raw construction stock represent massive capital investments that require continuous protection.
  • Worker & Visitor Safety: Unauthorised trespassers entering an active site present severe health and safety risks. Ensuring the physical site remains safe and compliant for contractors and visitors is paramount.
  • Operational Continuity: Security breaches cause expensive project delays, increased insurance costs, and project schedule disruptions. 

Our Approach

We’ve been working with Cala Homes since September 2017, and that long-standing partnership says everything about the quality of our service. From the very first phone call, we were committed to getting them the right solution.

Rapid response

Within 24 hours of that initial call, we’d provided a full quote. No delays, no fuss. Cala needed security quickly, and we made it happen.

Reliable, professional guards

We deployed SIA-licensed manned guards to the Coventry site, providing 24/7 cover. Our guards monitor access points, carry out regular patrols, and respond quickly to any security breaches or emergencies. They’re trained to spot potential issues before they escalate.

Understanding the construction environment

Construction sites aren’t like offices or shops. They’re dynamic, changing environments with different risks at different stages of the build. Our guards understand this. They know what to look out for and how to adapt their approach as the site evolves.

A long-term partnership

We’ve worked with Cala across multiple sites, including Birmingham, Milton Keynes, and Stratford-upon-Avon. That consistency matters. We know their procedures, their standards, and their expectations. We don’t just turn up; we become part of their team.

The Results

Since 2017, our partnership with Cala Homes has delivered real results.

Zero theft or vandalism incidents: The visible presence of our guards has created a genuine deterrent. Criminals think twice when they see professional security on site.

Worker safety improved: With unauthorised access prevented and hazards identified quickly, workers can focus on building quality homes without worrying about their safety.

Costly delays prevented: Theft and vandalism don’t just cost money they cause delays. Our security has helped keep Cala’s projects on track, saving time and money.

A partnership that lasts: Cala has trusted us since 2017, and they continue to choose us for new sites. That kind of loyalty isn’t given lightly.
