Safeguard Your Future Building from Termite Damage – Before Construction Begins
When it comes to building a new structure, prevention is the best protection. Our preconstruction termite control solutions ensure that your construction site is thoroughly protected from termite infestations from the ground up. We adhere strictly to the Australian Standard AS 3660.1, ensuring that every element of our service meets the highest regulatory requirements for termite management.
Why Preconstruction Termite Control Is Essential
-
Prevent Costly Damage Early: Termites can begin damaging a building’s structure before it’s even completed. Our preconstruction treatments form a robust barrier that stops termites from accessing your timber and other cellulose-based materials.
-
Compliance and Peace of Mind: Our solutions are fully compliant with AS 3660.1, the industry benchmark in Australia for termite control. This not only protects your investment but also ensures that your site meets building certification requirements.
-
Structural Integrity: By integrating termite barriers during construction, you safeguard critical structural elements, ensuring your building remains safe and durable for years to come.
Our Preconstruction Termite Control Process
Site Assessment and Design Review
Our licensed experts conduct a comprehensive site inspection to assess soil conditions, moisture levels, and any potential termite risks. We then work closely with your construction team to design termite protection measures that comply with AS 3660.1.
Quality Assurance and Documentation
Our technicians perform final inspections to ensure that all termite protection measures are correctly installed and functioning. We then issue a Certificate of Preconstruction Termite Control—an essential document that is recognized by certifiers for your building completion certificate.
Installation of Termite Barriers
We install physical and chemical termite barriers as specified by the Australian Standard. This may include:
-
Physical Barriers: Using materials such as termite shields, stainless-steel mesh, or approved aggregate barriers to block termite ingress.
-
Chemical Barriers: Application of termiticides around the perimeter and under-slab areas to create a continuous protective barrier.
Ongoing Support
Should any issues arise during construction, our team is available to provide follow-up inspections and maintenance advice, ensuring long-term termite protection throughout your project’s lifecycle.
Compliance with Australian Standards
Our services meet and exceed the requirements set out in AS 3660.1 for termite control. This standard covers:
-
Proper installation of termite barriers and physical protection measures.
-
Guidelines for maintaining adequate clearance between soil and timber elements.
-
Specifications for treatment areas to ensure comprehensive termite protection.
By following these guidelines, we help you reduce the risk of termite infestations before they can compromise your building’s structure.
Licensed Certification for Your Construction Site
We are proudly licensed to issue preconstruction termite control certificates. This certification confirms that your construction site complies with all relevant Australian Standards and termite control requirements. Our certificate is an essential component of your building completion documentation, providing certifiers with the assurance that your property is protected from termite damage.
