What does a security guard cost in Islamabad?

An unarmed guard on a twelve-hour shift is Rs 55,000 to Rs 80,000 a month, and an armed guard Rs 75,000 to Rs 120,000. Twenty-four hour cover needs two or three guards per post. Event cover for a wedding or corporate function is Rs 4,000 to Rs 9,000 per guard per shift.

How do I verify a guard is properly vetted?

Ask for the agency's licence number, a police-verified CNIC for each guard, and the arms licence where a weapon is carried. Reputable agencies in Islamabad provide these without hesitation. Also ask for the supervisor's number and confirm that night rounds are actually made rather than logged from an office.

What happens if a guard does not turn up?

This is the question to ask before signing. A proper agency keeps a relief roster and fills an absence within two hours, with the supervisor covering the gap in person if needed. Unfilled Friday and Eid shifts are the most common failure in this market, so get the replacement commitment written into the contract.

Security Guardsin Islamabad & Rawalpindi

This desk started in Islamabad, so this is where our data runs deepest. Everything below is written for Islamabad and Rawalpindi specifically — other cities are covered, in less detail.

Guard placement is priced monthly per post. An unarmed guard on a twelve-hour shift runs Rs 55,000 to Rs 80,000 a month in Islamabad. An armed guard is Rs 75,000 to Rs 120,000. Round-the-clock cover needs two or three guards per post and prices accordingly. Event cover for a wedding or corporate function is Rs 4,000 to Rs 9,000 per guard per shift.

Demand concentrates in F-6, F-7, F-8 and Blue Area offices, with houses in DHA Phase 2 and Bahria Town on standing contracts. Agencies need three to seven days to deploy a vetted guard on a monthly contract, though event cover for a marquee or farmhouse function can usually be arranged with forty-eight hours notice.

Verify the agency's licence and confirm that each guard has a police-verified CNIC, a valid arms licence where applicable, and a supervisor who does night rounds. Ask who replaces a guard who does not turn up, and how the relief roster works, because unfilled shifts on Fridays and Eid days are the most common failure in this market.
