Looking for a night guard to patrol the garden at our private house, as we have had 2 break in attempts in the last week. We're thinking to have someone patrolling from about 6pm to 6am every day, as we would like the intruder to be caught. I am also interested to see how much it would cost for 24 hour security to patrol the garden. Thank you so much!

I'm a Trustee for our Body Corporate and our AGM will be held soon, before the end of July. I only wish to have a suitable quote to present at the AGM. My thoughts are to have a surveillance pole that covers Summer Place and Glendale remote gates and also cover the front wall, facing Topham road. This would be - 52 / 54 Topham road. Another thought - only surveillance coverage for certain hours? Possibly eg. daily from 10 pm to 4 am. This is just a thought and your input would be much appreciated. With all the overall high price increases - we can only afford to pay what is really necessary for certain hours - although I do realise that the daytime is just as bad. A separate thought:- Our 2 complexes are situated just across from Girls High School - their back entrance/exit into Topham road. Possibly a surveillance pole that would cover the back entrance/exit of the school as well? These separate quotes can be submitted at our AGM and we could then enquire as well if the School would be interested - should the quotes be very reasonable. With thanks,
I need a 2 storey home. Ground floor with kitchen, lounge, ensuite guest room. Patio and indoor pool. Second floor 2 bedroom with joining full bathroom and walkin closet. balcony. I am needing a pool to run a Swim School from home but am trying to save space as in the future I would possibly build a 25m pool in the garden. Pool that can be on the patio area, with a skylight and sliding glass doors with a seating area, changeroom, toilet and shower. Pool to have as much sunlight as possible.
s is a retail store, I am currently looking to replace my current security, as my staff are more efficient then the security guards we have right now. Hardly see the owner or his operations manager who should be checking the site on a daily basis, give direction to their guards & make sure that all the policies are implemented. In the area, we have high shrinkage, if the guards are not paying attention but my staff are.............Then its time to cut off the dead weight and find a security company who is serious about business as I am.
So, my house is the old model version, I would also love to remodel the roofing style to make it look model. The house is not a build in, so i would like to have it having in-built furniture. The house is not tiled, would like it to be tiled on the floor. There is no sewage and kitchen facilities, would like to have them installed as well with the building of additional bathroom in one of the rooms. The house has 5 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen, 1 dining room, citing room, balcony, and double garages. The needed additions would be 1 bathroom and a study area.
