Best Walkie Talkies for Construction

Two-way radios are primarily utilised on construction sites to:

  • Keep track of workers onsite (providing every staff member to communicate quickly and securely)
  • Request a first aider (support your team when there are medical emergencies on the site)
  • Quick and efficient sharing of all multimedia such as images, videos etc. between teams

Walkie talkies, A.K.A two-way radios can cover a wide spectrum of uses, solving communication issues at the push of a button within sites. They are a versatile tool that can adapt to any situation offering incredible value for money as initial investment without the hindrance of monthly bills or call charges.

They can also become a valuable tool during an emergency. In today’s current climate it is imperative that construction establishments are prepared and we offer a range of affordable and relevant walkie talkies. When making your choice consider the area you need to cover and what you wish to achieve from your walkie talkies/two-way radios. Most common situations of construction sites purchasing two-way radios we see is for security and clear communication purposes, as well as having more organised construction projects where we have uninterrupted signal coverage with the professional Motorola two-way radios.

Key users of walkie talkies on construction sites include:

  • Managers (both on and off-site)
  • Building site inspectors
  • Electricians, engineers and carpenters
  • Construction site labourer or technicians
  • Security teams and other admin staff members

Key uses of walkie talkie in the construction and building industry:

  • Coordination between multiple teams
  • Complex building and construction projects
  • Alarm Handler Solution
  • Security and safety of labourers or technicians
  • Emergency/incident response

Do I need a radio licence for my construction site walkie talkies?

When you have a large area to cover PMR446 radios (Private Mobile Radio, 446 MHz) may not give you the coverage you require, therefore, you may need to look at a licensed two-way radio / walkie talkie that better respond to your communication needs. From success stories we can say that professional walkie talkies are the perfect solution for large construction sites and to organise and properly set up important construction events. Licensed walkie-talkies will require an OFCOM radio licence. This can be a minefield, but the benefit you get from DCRS is that we can assist with the application and take care of the renewals if you need us to, just ask!
