CONCERNS MOUNT OVER THEFT, VANDALISM ON CONSTRUCTION SITES

       

Real estate professionals have expressed concerns over cases of threats and vandalism on construction sites, urging project managers and corporate organisations to put in place tested measures and thereby reduce usual losses and delay of projects, occasioned by theft and vandalism. All over the globe, wherever construction is underway, there will be related problems of theft, but these may assume significance for a particular police jurisdiction only during a construction boom. The form taken by the thefts will depend on the nature of the construction which can range from enormous projects for new highways and airport to in-fill housing developments in suburbs.
