Australia is home to some of the world's most destructive termite species. A pre-construction termite management system — installed before your concrete slab is poured — is the most effective and cost-efficient way to protect your new home. We install AS 3660.1 compliant systems across all residential and commercial new builds.
Pre-construction termite management systems are installed during the construction process — before your concrete slab is poured — providing a seamless, highly effective barrier between the soil and the structure above. Once the slab is down and the home is complete, installing comparable protection is significantly more expensive and invasive. Under AS 3660.1, all new buildings in termite-prone regions of Australia must have an approved termite management system in place before occupancy.
We install all major AS 3660.1 compliant termite management systems for new residential and commercial construction — the appropriate system is selected based on your site conditions and requirements.
Application of a registered termiticide to the soil beneath and around the slab — creating a continuous treated zone that termites cannot pass through without being affected. The most widely specified system in Australia.
Installation of a physical termite barrier — such as Kordon, Termimesh, or Granitgard — that is integrated into the building structure during construction, preventing termite entry through all potential access points.
Installation of a subsurface reticulation pipe network beneath the slab — allowing chemical top-ups to be injected via accessible service points without the need for drilling or excavation after the home is built.
Termite-resistant treatment and sealing of all service penetrations through the slab — plumbing, electrical conduit, and structural elements — which are common entry points for subterranean termites.
Where site conditions, design complexity, or client preference require maximum protection, we install combined chemical and physical barrier systems — providing layered termite protection across all potential entry pathways.
On completion of the termite management system installation, we issue a full AS 3660.1 compliance certificate and installation report — required by building certifiers, lenders, home warranty insurers, and councils across Australia.
A complete, certified termite management service designed to protect your new home for the long term — from site assessment to compliance certification.
Before recommending a system, we assess your site — soil classification, geographic termite risk zone, building design, and any site-specific conditions. System selection is based on AS 3660.1 requirements and your build's specific needs, ensuring the most appropriate and cost-effective protection is specified.
Where chemical treatment is specified, the termiticide is applied in strict accordance with the manufacturer's label and AS 3660.1 — covering all soil surfaces beneath the slab, around penetrations, and at the perimeter. Application rates and coverage are documented for the compliance certificate.
Physical barriers and reticulation pipe networks are installed by our licensed technicians during the construction process — correctly positioned, lapped, and sealed at all joints, penetrations, and transitions. All installations are photographed for as-installed documentation.
Following the concrete pour, a perimeter soil treatment is applied to the exposed soil around the external footings and slab edge — completing the continuous chemical barrier around the entire structure in accordance with AS 3660.1 requirements.
On completion, we issue a full AS 3660.1 compliance certificate with as-installed site plans, product information, and installation documentation. This certificate is required by your building certifier, mortgage lender, and home warranty insurer before practical completion can be signed off.
Termite management systems require periodic inspection and top-up to maintain effectiveness. We offer ongoing annual inspections and chemical replenishment services — particularly for reticulation systems — ensuring your protection remains current throughout the life of the building.
From initial assessment to compliance certification — our termite management installation process is simple to coordinate with your build timeline.
Provide your plans, site address, and build timeline. We assess the site and recommend the appropriate AS 3660.1 compliant system.
Coordinate with your builder's programme. Installation is scheduled before the slab pour — typically after plumbing rough-in is complete.
Our technicians attend site and install the specified system — chemical treatment, physical barrier, reticulation, or combination.
After the slab is poured and forms are stripped, we return to complete the perimeter soil treatment and finalise the barrier system.
Your full AS 3660.1 compliance certificate and installation documentation is issued — ready for your certifier, lender, and warranty insurer.
The right system depends on your location, soil type, and building design. We'll recommend the most appropriate option after assessing your site.
The most widely installed pre-construction termite system in Australia. A registered liquid termiticide (Termidor, Biflex, or equivalent) is applied to all soil surfaces beneath and around the slab, creating a continuous treated zone.
Kordon, Termimesh, and Granitgard physical barriers integrate directly into the building structure — providing permanent protection without the need for chemical retreatment. Popular for clients wanting a non-chemical approach.
A subsurface pipe network installed pre-pour, with accessible service points around the building perimeter. Chemical top-ups can be injected without drilling through the slab — ideal for ongoing management convenience.
