System Brief
Markham’s economy leans heavily on business services, technology and life-sciences firms, many of them in campus-style offices clustered along Highway 7 and the 404/407 interchange. Those buildings have the same weak points: reception desks that empty out at 6 p.m., shared parking structures, server rooms behind a single badge reader, and couriers arriving at side doors.
Around those campuses sits a very different Markham — new towers rising in Markham Centre, condominium-owned malls with hundreds of independent unit owners, and two heritage main streets that fill up on weekends. A good security plan here is never one-size. We start by walking your site, then write post orders that match it.

Site Plan
Knowledge Base
KB-M01 · Offices
Yes. A licensed guard can run the front desk during business hours — signing in visitors, issuing temporary passes and directing couriers — then switch to locked-door checks and floor rounds after hours. The duties are written into site-specific post orders so they stay the same from shift to shift.
KB-M02 · Condos
Usually a staffed desk handling visitors, parcels, elevator bookings for move-ins and amenity rooms, combined with timed rounds of the garage and stairwells. Incidents go to your property manager as digital reports with photos. Our concierge security page covers the full scope.
KB-M03 · Malls
From the board or management office that signs the contract. We agree on common-area rules, opening and closing routines and how to handle disputes between unit owners before the first shift, so guards apply one standard instead of dozens of individual requests.
KB-M04 · Business parks
Yes. Mobile patrols can check several buildings in one park on varied schedules each night — doors, gates, loading areas and parked trailers — and every stop is GPS-logged. Pricing depends on the number of visits and properties on the route.
Interchanges
Many Markham portfolios spill into neighbouring municipalities. We schedule them as one account with one set of reports.
