We work with public security representatives, building owners, architects, developers and security managers within organizations to ensure people, property, information, businesses and governments are protected against loss and/or injury.
Security is a vital part of the design and planning process. When designing a new building or planning renovations of an existing building, security needs to be considered as part of the design and planning process. Perpetuity Security can help you with your new construction or renovation project.
We devise or implement security strategies as per the project requirement from design through to operations and provide ongoing strategic security advice as an organization grows its operations.
We offer a comprehensive and systematic approach to help organizations address the business and technological interdependencies between the physical, information, and cyber security domains, to minimize the likelihood of an undesirable security event.
Having a qualified security consultant as a part of the design team can allow you to construct a facility that provides maximum protection of your people, information and other assets, while at the same time greatly reducing security operating costs.
Ultimately our aim is to help you with cost-effective security solutions that align with your organization’s risk appetite, goals, and the realities of modern threats.
Public spaces encompassing buildings are made safer by following the principles of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). This utilizes the physical design of areas where citizens reside and gather in order to dissuade potential offenders from committing criminal acts.
Our multi-faceted approach to security planning and design is intended to help organizations of all sizes overcome the many challenges and complexities involved in the process.
The standard tasks performed and technologies designed throughout the security design and planning process are:
- Determination of security requirements
- Identification of security risks and threats
- Development of initial security concepts for buildings and sites
- Identification of building areas requiring varying degrees of protection
- Creation of security zones from public to high security
- Identification of conflicts between security and egress requirements
- Preparation of Building Security Plans that identify requirements for:
- Bullet and blast resistant barriers
- Doors and lock hardware
- Electronic security systems such as: access control, video surveillance, security intercom, intrusion detection, panic alarms, electronic key systems.
- Fencing and gates
- Landscaping
- Parking lot and site lighting
- Security screening equipment: package x-ray, metal detection systems, etc.
- Safes, vaults, and file storage systems
- Security signage Vehicular barriers
- Security control room
- Security equipment rooms
- Security of telephone and data rooms
- Security of critical utilities
- Emergency notification devices
- Protection of HVAC air intakes
- Vehicle Barriers
- Provide other assistance as requested by architect or owner.
- Provide consultation to architect and design team on effective implementation of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principals.

Once the drawings and specifications are finalized, we continue to support the client through the tender and construction process. This includes supervision of security contractors and all security design elements to ensure that installation meets the design requirements. We are involved in shop-drawing and as-built reviews, conducting on-site compliance reviews and participating in final system testing and commissioning.
