What is the Average Security Guard Hourly Rate in Bc?

While we do not offer fixed-rate packages, the average security guard hourly rate in BC is influenced by regional demand and specific site requirements. In our experience, pricing typically falls into distinct bands across the Lower Mainland:

  • Vancouver: Generally falls into the higher range due to higher demand, urban density, and potential amenities surcharges.
  • Surrey: Typically remains in a moderate range as a growing and competitive commercial corridor.
  • Burnaby: Generally falls in the moderate range, though demand spikes from the tech and film industries can influence costs.
  • Other BC Regions: Often sit in a lower baseline range, though travel or mileage fees may apply.

Several factors impact these rates, including the need for 24/7 coverage, the level of guard certification (such as ASIS International certifications), and site-specific risks. For example, a high-risk construction site or a large hotel requiring Concierge Services and Live CCTV Monitoring will have different cost profiles than basic mobile patrols.

Because every property has unique vulnerabilities, we prioritize your peace of mind by providing tailored solutions. We invite you to Build Your Security Quote to receive an accurate assessment based on your specific operational demands.
