Tell us the story of your company.

John McGillicuddy: Structure Consulting Group, Inc. (SCG) was founded 25 years ago with a clear mission to become a leader in site acquisition and construction project management for the telecommunications industry in New England. Over the years, we have established ourselves as a trusted advisory partner to top wireless carriers, providing dedicated teams and delivering success to our clients. By leveraging our extensive experience and full-service approach, we bring our expertise to the security industry in all areas.

At SCG, we take pride in our adaptability. We are always ready to evolve and meet the changing needs of our clients. Our commitment to excellence and innovation ensures that we stay ahead in the industries we serve, providing you with the reassurance that we are always prepared to meet your evolving security needs.

What solutions/services does your business offer in the security industry? And what makes your offerings or your company unique?

JM: As a Knightscope, Axis Communications and Brivo authorized partner, SCG brings unique offerings to the security industry. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including industry-leading emergency communication solutions, access control and video surveillance. Our unique emergency communication solutions encompass blue light towers, blue light emergency phones, call boxes, retrofit kits and automated gunshot detection. These unique offerings are designed to provide you with the most advanced security solutions.

Our approach is centered around client satisfaction and collaboration. We believe in fostering an environment that encourages innovation and creativity, where your input is valued. We prioritize client satisfaction by delivering exceptional results and exceeding expectations. At Structure Consulting Group, we take pride in our collaborative culture and entrepreneurial spirit. We only partner with companies that provide the best products in terms of quality and innovation. We believe that by partnering with the right companies and adding our expertise, we can provide our clients with a one-stop solution for all your security needs, ranging from audits to design, installation and maintenance.

What’s something we might not know about your company – or something new you’re doing in security?

JM: Structure Consulting Group has over 25 years of experience. Our experience gives us a unique advantage because we can complete all aspects of the project, including audits, design, equipment procurement, installation and maintenance. During the project’s life cycle, issues may delay the project – for example, environmental issues, right of way, need for additional fiber optics and soil stabilization. All these expected or unexpected issues cause delays and increase costs, especially if you need to contact different companies to resolve each issue. However, SCG has the expertise to foresee these issues during the initial audit and site design to overcome them to complete your project from start to finish, reducing the cost and stress of dealing with multiple companies. We prioritize client satisfaction by delivering exceptional results and exceeding expectations.

What is your company’s vision, and what are your goals for the security industry?

JM: Our vision is to revolutionize the security industry by delivering innovative, comprehensive solutions prioritizing our clients’ safety and peace of mind. We will be a leading full-service security solutions provider, driven by our constant commitment to understanding our clients’ needs. By focusing on product quality and innovation that delivers accurate results, we will excel in auditing, design, procurement, installation and maintenance across our markets.

Our goal for the security industry is straightforward: it is to see it continue to grow. We will continue to bring security to the forefront of every industry and market in which we operate. We are creating a continued growth of security awareness. With more and more industries buying into the importance and real need for security, we will continue to see a surge of innovative technologies and solutions that will help detect and prevent crimes before they happen. In a changing world, security always needs to be constant. We want to create secure environments where individuals and businesses can thrive, knowing they are protected by a trusted leader in the security field.

What does SIA offer that is most important to you/your company? And what do you most hope to get out of your membership with SIA?

Staying at the forefront of all security-related regulations and innovations is very important to ensure our clients get the very best security solutions for their needs.
