DENVER, CO – September 08, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Standard Fence Company has introduced phased perimeter planning for temporary fencing on renovation projects, a scheduling approach that moves fence lines and access points as work progresses rather than setting a single fixed perimeter at project start. The change responds to a documented shift in construction activity toward work on existing occupied buildings.
City permit records show the shift clearly in the company’s home market. Denver permitted $2.2 billion in commercial construction in 2025, up from $1.5 billion the prior year but still 27 percent below the 2019 peak of $2.9 billion. The larger change is in what is being built. Alterations, additions and conversions accounted for $1.1 billion of that total, the largest single share, while the city issued 1,803 commercial construction permits, the fewest since 2017.
The residential picture points the same direction. Homeowner improvement spending grew 153 percent over the past decade, well ahead of the 90 percent growth in new single-family construction. The National Association of Home Builders projects residential remodeling activity will rise 3 percent in 2026 and a further 2 percent in 2027 in inflation-adjusted terms.
Fewer, smaller projects on buildings that are already standing changes what site security has to accomplish. A new build on a cleared lot can be enclosed once, with a fixed gate and a single point of entry that stays in place for the duration. A renovation frequently involves a structure that remains partially occupied, with tenants, staff or residents moving through the property daily alongside trades, and with the work zone shifting from one elevation or floor to another as phases complete.
“On a renovation you are separating people from work, not just keeping people off a lot,” said Taylor Scavo, President of Standard Fence Company. “The perimeter that made sense in week one is often in the wrong place by week six, and the access point that worked for demolition is not the one the finishing trades need. Planning that movement into the schedule at the start is what keeps a site secure through the middle of a job.”
Security data indicates the exposure is real. A 2026 report from TrueLook and Noonlight found confirmed break-ins at active construction sites rose 50 percent year over year to 2,639 incidents in 2025. More than 40 percent occurred on weekends, and unsecured gates ranked among the most common contributing factors. Partially enclosed renovation sites are particularly exposed during off-hours, when trades have left but the building remains accessible through routes that serve its ongoing occupants.
Under the phased approach, Standard Fence Company maps perimeter positions against the project schedule before the first panel is set, identifying where fence lines will move, where pedestrian separation is required alongside vehicle access, and at which points in the schedule those changes occur. Panel systems are specified for repositioning rather than for a single placement, and gate locations are planned around the access each phase actually requires.
Pedestrian routing receives particular attention on occupied properties. A perimeter that satisfies a contractor may still leave building occupants walking a path that crosses active work, and adjusting one without accounting for the other tends to produce gaps that appear only after the fence is standing. Mapping both at the planning stage reduces the mid-project changes that leave sections temporarily open.
The company also installs gate operator systems from manufacturers including LiftMaster, DoorKing and Viking Access Systems, along with intercom and remote control access, for properties where a permanent controlled entry replaces temporary measures at project completion. Its temporary fencing serves seasonal and event applications as well as construction, including tree lots, nursery operations and other short-term commercial uses.
The approach applies across the metropolitan area and the surrounding Front Range counties the company serves. Denver’s Community Planning and Development department manages plan review, permits and inspections for commercial work in the city, and project phasing on occupied sites frequently intersects with traffic control and neighborhood coordination requirements that affect where a perimeter can sit. Sites in historic overlay districts and areas under active redevelopment carry additional coordination that can extend a project timeline and, with it, the period a perimeter must remain in place.
Standard Fence Company is a fourth-generation family-owned fence contractor holding a BBB A+ rating and serving residential and commercial properties across Colorado’s Front Range. The company provides temporary fencing for construction sites and events, commercial and residential fencing in wood, vinyl, chain link, composite, ornamental iron, ornamental aluminum, brick and precast, along with gate installation, gate operators and access control systems, site assessment, permit acquisition, and ongoing maintenance and repair.
