Termite Prevention for Pre-Construction Projects

Build It Right – Termite-Free from the Start

Pre-construction termite management is essential to safeguard your investment and meet building compliance requirements. By installing effective termite barriers during the construction phase, you can prevent infestations before they begin, ensuring your structure is protected from costly damage down the line.

Our termite prevention solutions are aligned with industry standards, offering builders and developers peace of mind with long-term protection for their projects.

Why Pre Construction Termite Treatment is Crucial

Prevents Long-Term Structural Damage

Termites can compromise foundations and frameworks, leading to expensive repairs.
 

Ensures Compliance with Regulations

Most building codes require termite management plans to prevent future risks.

Minimises Future Treatment Costs

Treating termites during construction is far more cost-effective than post-infestation remedies.

Increases Property Value

A pre-treated property attracts buyers, offering security and confidence with preventive termite management in place.

If you notice any of these signs, contact our team immediately for a professional inspection.

Reticulation System (install / Recharge)

  • Pipe systems installed under slabs, allowing for easy reapplication of termiticides in the future.

  • Ideal for long-term projects that require maintenance access.

Physical Barriers

  • Installed beneath concrete slabs and around plumbing penetrations to prevent termites from entering structures.

  • Durable barriers that align with Australian building standards.

What to do before we come?

  • Provide plans & dates: Send latest site plan, slab/footing dates, and contact on site.

  • Clear access: Keep the perimeter, trenches and penetrations clear of rubble, timber, formwork off-cuts, and standing water.

  • Seal & prep membrane: Ensure damp-proof membrane is intact, taped at joins, and extends to edges as specified.

  • Mark services: Clearly mark/sleeve all penetrations (plumbing, electrical, gas) and keep them upright and visible.

  • Weather & safety ready: Site safe to work (WHS), ladders/scaff as needed; stop works during rain on treatment zones.

  • No contaminants: Do not apply paints, curing compounds or backfill over treatment areas before we finish and sign off.
