Site Security Gatehouses for BC Construction and Industrial Sites
NED Structures builds portable security gatehouses for construction sites, industrial facilities, and secured properties across BC. Purpose-built for access control — insulated, wired, and delivered ready to occupy.
Site access control requires a structure built for the job
Construction sites, industrial yards, utility corridors, and government-secured properties share a common requirement: controlled entry. Knowing who is on site at any moment is a health and safety obligation, a liability management practice, and an increasingly common contractual condition on larger BC projects. A portable security gatehouse is the practical answer — a dedicated structure engineered for the entry point, not a repurposed office unit placed at the gate as an afterthought.
NED Structures fabricates gatehouses at our Langley facility, where we manage the complete build process — framing, insulation, electrical rough-in, window installation, and exterior finishing. The result is a unit that arrives on site in finished, occupiable condition. There is no assembly required, no on-site finishing, and no security personnel working in a structure that was never designed for the purpose.
Sites requiring both an entry gatehouse and a project management office can source both through NED. Our construction site offices in BC and gatehouses share the same build platform, simplifying procurement and maintaining consistent exterior specification across the site. For projects with non-standard access control requirements, see our custom modular builds.

What makes a NED Structures gatehouse different
Designed for access control, not repurposed from office stock
A security gatehouse has fundamentally different requirements from a project management office. We design our gatehouses with high-visibility sight lines, pass-through service windows, and entry-monitoring sightlines as primary considerations — not the open floor plan of an administrative workspace. That purpose-built approach changes how the structure functions on site from day one.
Built to withstand continuous outdoor exposure
Gatehouses sit exposed at site perimeters through BC's rain, wind, and winter conditions — often for the full duration of a multi-year project. Every unit is built with steel-framed panels, spray foam insulation, weather-sealed penetrations, and exterior finishes rated for continuous outdoor use without requiring regular maintenance.
Factory-wired for communications and security systems
Modern site gatehouses require more than a single light circuit. Our units can be factory-wired for intercom systems, barrier gate controls, camera connections, PA hookups, electric heating, and standard outlet circuits — all completed at our Langley fabrication facility before the unit ships to site.
Compact, relocatable, and reusable across projects
Most gatehouses are 6ft to 12ft in length — compact enough to position precisely at site entry points and light enough to reposition as site phases change the access layout. When the project ends, the gatehouse moves to the next one rather than sitting as abandoned infrastructure at the closed site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a site security gatehouse?
A site security gatehouse is a compact, purpose-built structure positioned at the entry point of a construction site, industrial facility, or secured property. It provides a sheltered, wired station for security personnel to monitor and control access — logging who enters and exits the site throughout the project.
What sizes are available for security gatehouses?
Gatehouses are commonly available in 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, and 12ft lengths. Custom sizes and configurations are available for sites with unusual entry constraints. Most single-operator gatehouses are built in the 8ft to 10ft range.
Can a security gatehouse include electrical and communications wiring?
Yes. Gatehouses can be factory-wired for electric heating, LED lighting, standard outlet circuits, intercom connections, barrier gate control wiring, camera system hookups, and PA connections — all completed before delivery.
Do security gatehouses require permits in BC?
Permit requirements vary by municipality and intended use. Temporary construction site gatehouses typically fall under the same simplified permit category as other temporary site structures. Confirm requirements with your local authority having jurisdiction before placement.
What is the difference between a security gatehouse and a site office?
A gatehouse is a compact access-control station positioned at a site entry point — optimized for sight lines, pass-through windows, and entry logging. A site office is a larger workspace for project management, administration, and crew coordination. Large sites often deploy both structures for different functions.
