| | | Yes. Match your appearance to that of those who belong there and stride in with confidence. Having said that, I know personally how difficult it can be to dress up like a construction worker (even assuming you have the boots, reflective vest, and hardhat) and just waltz in during a regular work day. In fact, I've never done it -- though I'm convinced it would be very possible. (I've been inside many construction sites, but usually on a holiday, Sunday, or evening, when no one, or no one much, is around.) Start with something a little more low-key. I like hotels for this. For one thing, vast areas of them are open to the public, and it's almost impossible not to look like a guest. Convention centers, community centers, malls, large office buildings are also good practice. Get in the habit of opening doors marked "No Admittance," "Authorized Personnel Only," and "Fire Exit: Alarm Will Sound." If anyone gives you a funny look, or asks if they can help you, tell them you're looking for the rooftop patio / swimming pool / restaurant that you could have sworn was in this building somewhere. Or the bathroom. Or that you're lost, and trying to get back out to the street. Or tell them the truth: You're just snooping around. You'd be surprised how disarming that can be. (That last one is a tip from Access All Areas, too, I think.)

| | | Posted by Cherokee Hello– I'm more of an underground person, so I usually stick to drains, which are plentiful in Southern California, but I just moved to Portland, and there's a lot more to explore here with sub-basements and rooftops and construction galore. I never really have tried the whole infiltration thing before, so is there anything that can help here? Is just waltzing in with self confidence the best way to bypass security? Thanks all
| Depends on the site. Many times especially on smaller jobs, the super knows exactly who should be there including inspectors especially. They have no problem walking straight up to you if they see you. You are a liability to them if you're there uninvited. It's their site and responsibility to police it as well as all that goes on there during the duration of their company's contract. I've shot active construction and demo sites with permission, which is another method to consider. The demo or construction company owner ie the site foreman has active control of that site during demo or construction, not the property owner. If you get in good with them, you're in like Flint. Plus if you win their confidence they may invite you to other projects. I shot 5 demo sites and a RR accident clean up like that, free range in broad daylight. Good as it gets making it worth the trouble.
