Frequently Asked Questions

Some common questions we get about SiteGuard Strategies

  • General Services

    What services does SiteGuard Strategies provide?

    We specialize in defensible safety and security solutions, including Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) surveys, Premises Liability inspections, OSHA Compliance assessments, and detailed lighting/photometric surveys. Our goal is to reduce risks, support litigation defense, and enhance the safety of your property.

    Do you only work in Florida?

    While we are based in Florida, we serve clients nationwide. We frequently travel for large-scale projects such as university campuses, hospitality chains, and industrial facilities.

  • CPTED & Premises Liability

    What is a CPTED survey and why is it important?

    A CPTED survey evaluates how the physical environment impacts safety and crime prevention. We analyze lighting, landscaping, access points, and natural surveillance to reduce criminal opportunity while supporting territorial reinforcement and community confidence.

    What does a Premises Liability inspection cover?

    Our Premises Liability surveys focus on property risks such as parking lot safety, slip/trip hazards, lighting deficiencies, traffic flow, and environmental conditions that may expose owners to claims or lawsuits. Each inspection includes detailed documentation, photos, and defensible reporting.

    Can these Surveys Overlap?

    Yes, when conducting surveys there are areas where the surveys can overlap with information. Based on client needs the client can choose to either do each survey or choose to do all of them and have protection over multiple reports.

  • OSHA Compliance

    How does an OSHA Compliance Survey work?

    We perform a thorough review of your facility, operations, and equipment against OSHA standards. Areas assessed include hazard communication, PPE, machine guarding, electrical safety, and emergency preparedness. You’ll receive a report with corrective actions to help prevent citations or injuries.

    Do you provide follow-up support after identifying issues?

    Yes, we can work with your team or safety manager to implement corrective actions and ensure ongoing compliance. We also offer repeat inspections to verify improvements.

  • Lighting & Photometric Surveys

    Why are lighting surveys important?

    Proper lighting directly impacts safety, liability, and usability of a space. We use NIST-certified light meters and IES LM-50 standards to measure illumination in parking lots, pathways, and building perimeters. Reports include foot-candle readings, grid overlays, and actionable recommendations.

    Do you provide maps or visual reports?

    Yes, our surveys include detailed maps, grid overlays, and in some cases, interactive walk-throughs or 3D mapping of properties to give you a clear picture of current conditions.

  • Commercial Property Inspections

    What is included in a commercial property inspection?

    A commercial property inspection provides a detailed evaluation of a building’s structure, systems, and safety conditions. This includes the roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and site conditions such as parking lots, drainage, and accessibility.

    Why do I need a commercial property inspection?

    Inspections help buyers, owners, and investors identify hidden defects, safety issues, and potential maintenance costs. This reduces liability, supports negotiation during purchase or leasing, and ensures compliance with insurance and legal requirements.

    How is a commercial inspection different from a residential one?

    Commercial inspections are more extensive and focus on multiple systems and occupancy types. They often require specialized knowledge of building codes, ADA compliance, OSHA safety concerns, and industry-specific risks not typically covered in residential inspections.

    How long does a commercial property inspection take?

    The timeframe depends on property size and complexity. Small retail or office spaces may take a few hours, while multi-story buildings or campuses can take several days with follow-up reporting.

    What do I receive after the inspection?

    You’ll receive a comprehensive written report with photos, findings, and recommendations. Reports highlight immediate safety concerns, deferred maintenance, and future capital expense considerations — all designed to help you make informed decisions.

    Do you work with real estate and insurance professionals?

    Yes. We regularly partner with brokers, lenders, property managers, and insurers to provide defensible reports that protect investments and streamline transactions.

  • Process & Deliverables

    What deliverables do I receive after an inspection?

    Every project includes a detailed written report, photo documentation, risk scoring, and recommendations. For lighting or campus-scale surveys, we provide interactive maps, 360° walkthroughs, and grid overlays.

    How do you calculate pricing?

    Pricing is based on project size, travel requirements, and level of detail required. For example, parking lot liability inspections may be charged by lot size, while photometric surveys are often billed per linear or square foot. We also offer bundled pricing for multi-property clients.
