Construction site security in Zambia

Protect progress, day and night.

Plan protection for building materials, machinery and changing construction-site risks.

Every site has its own working hours, access requirements and priorities. Tell us about your premises so we can discuss an appropriate arrangement and confirm service availability.

Planning your service

Requirements to bring to your consultation

  • Delivery checks
  • Materials protection
  • After-hours patrols

Reassess as the site changes

Construction sites evolve as work progresses. An entrance suitable at the start of a project may change when machinery arrives or a new work area opens. Security planning should account for temporary boundaries, material deliveries, contractor movements and the project’s expected phases.

Clarify authority over materials

Agree who may approve materials or equipment leaving the site and how approval is recorded. Delivery checks should fit the contractor’s operating arrangements. Secure storage decisions and the responsibility for keys should also be clear, particularly when several subcontractors share the site.

Arrange handovers and after-hours coverage

A handover should include expected deliveries, authorised late work and unresolved concerns from the previous shift. Tell TOESS about the project location, timetable and proposed coverage hours. The construction-site security guide provides a useful starting checklist for your enquiry.

From enquiry to deployment

Consultation → site assessment → agreed security plan → deployment → supervision → reporting and review.

How do I request a quotation?

Tell us about your site, location, security requirements and preferred start date. TOESS will review the enquiry and agree next steps.

Where does TOESS operate?

Feedback from the people and organisations we serve.

We've had Third Open Eye handling our plant security for just over two years now, and honestly the difference is night and day. Our site sits close to the main Lusaka–Livingstone road, and theft used to be a weekly headache. Since they took over, incidents have dropped dramatically. Their team actually patrols, not just sits at the gate on their phones. Very professional.

Southern African Ferro Alloys Limited

Our residents are very particular, and honestly so are we when it comes to who we let represent the building here in Lusaka. Third Open Eye's guards are always well presented, polite, and they know the residents by name. Several tenants have told me they feel much safer coming home late at night. That's exactly what we wanted.

Swiss Luxury Apartments

We're out near Livingstone, fairly close to the Botswana and Zimbabwe borders, so security was always a worry, especially at night. Third Open Eye put together a proper plan for us — patrols, gate control, coordination with the local police — the works. Our guests have even commented on how alert and friendly the security staff are. Good people.

Lutanda Lodge

What I appreciate most is their response time. We had a break-in attempt last year at one of our yards and their team was on site within minutes, coordinated everything with the Zambia Police Service, and handled it calmly. They also review their procedures with us regularly instead of just doing the same old thing. Worth every kwacha.

Metalloy Limited

Running a hotel means security has to be strong but invisible — guests shouldn't feel like they're in a fortress. Third Open Eye gets that balance perfectly. Their staff are firm when needed but warm with our guests, whether they're locals or visitors crossing in from neighboring countries. We've had zero major incidents since switching to them.

Fatmols Hotels and Lodges

As a manufacturing business, we have expensive materials moving in and out all day, including shipments heading to the border. Third Open Eye set up a proper check-in/check-out system for our trucks and suppliers, and our inventory losses have basically disappeared. The supervisor even does surprise inspections at random hours. They take their work seriously.

Boss Aluminium

We started as a small workshop and grew into a full showroom, and Third Open Eye grew with us. They adjusted their coverage as we expanded without us even having to chase them. The guards are trustworthy — we've never had a single issue with theft from staff or stock. It feels like having family watch over the place.

Eyatiko Furnitures

You'd think an insurance company would be picky about security contractors, and you'd be right. We vetted several firms before choosing Third Open Eye. Their documentation is thorough, their guards are vetted and trained properly, and their monthly reports are actually useful — not just paperwork to tick a box. Very solid operation, and ZDA compliant on all their paperwork.

Guardian Insurance Services

We operate overnight shifts, so our bakery needs round-the-clock protection. Third Open Eye's night team is always alert — you can tell they're not just there for the paycheck. One of their guards actually noticed a gas smell early one morning and reported it before it became a real problem. That's the kind of attention you can't train into everyone.
