Construction site security across Fairfax — after-hours, weekends, and the permit calendar.
Construction site security in Fairfax, VA covers the after-hours and weekend gaps in the general contractor's own presence. Officer coverage is scoped against the site fence line, the trailer row, the material storage, and the equipment lay-down — the brief names the checkpoints and the frequency, with a documented pattern for the least-lit corners of the parcel.
Sites along Old Town Fairfax around the courthouse and elsewhere in Fairfax typically want a fixed post at the main gate paired with an interior walking round; larger parcels may add a second officer or a mobile loop between structures. AES coordinates start and end times to the site's own daily open and close, not to a fixed clock that misses the handover window with the GC's project superintendent.

Who books construction site security in Fairfax?
Construction site security enquiries in Fairfax come from general contractors on active builds, developer clients holding open parcels between phases, and property owners on rehabilitation projects along Old Town Fairfax around the courthouse. The scope typically covers evenings, overnights, weekends, and holiday windows.
AES writes the fence-line, the interior route, the trailer row, and the equipment lay-down into the brief. Where the site sits inside a residential or mixed-use edge — common in Fairfax — the brief also documents the neighbor-facing conduct expected of an officer on the shift.
Fairfax · construction site security FAQs.
When does a construction site typically need overnight coverage?
Overnight coverage is typical during periods of high equipment value on site, after material deliveries, and when active access-log control is required outside of working hours.
Can you provide fire watch during construction?
Yes — fire watch during construction where authority-directed or where fire-suppression systems are interrupted is a scoped service. See our fire-watch page.
Do you monitor the site CCTV?
Where CCTV is installed and access is granted, AES officers monitor and log as part of the site brief.
How is site access recorded?
Access is logged manually or via the site's existing electronic system, delivered nightly with the shift report.
How do you handle the City of Fairfax versus Fairfax County distinction?
The City of Fairfax is a separate independent city with its own police department; Fairfax County surrounds it. Every brief for a Fairfax assignment names which jurisdiction the property sits in so the officer references the correct non-emergency line and the correct 911 routing on a call for service.
Are officers familiar with the George Mason University area?
Yes. Assignments on the George Mason edge — housing along University Drive, retail along Braddock Road, or events near EagleBank Arena and the Center for the Arts — are briefed with the campus-boundary line and the GMU Police reference. AES does not enter the university's own security scope.
