Pre Construction
Pre-construction pest protection built in from the ground up
Compliant termite and pest barrier solutions for new builds and major extensions in Melbourne.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION PEST TREATMENTS THAT MEET BUILDING REGULATIONS AND DELIVER PEACE OF MIND
What we do?
Chemical barriers
Apply approved termiticides around footings, slabs and critical junctions to prevent termite entry.
Physical barriers
Use metal flashing or other materials to block pest access in high-risk areas.
Subfloor cleanups
Old off cut timbers which get stored from lifetime of the builds provide a food source for termites. We remove all rubbish and debris to help with providing adequate aur ventilation, reducing conducive environments.
Subfloor air vents installation
Helping with air ventilation to prevent mould or efflorescence
Regulation compliance
Ensure treatments meet local council and state building code requirements.
How we work
Pre-build consultation & risk evaluation
We assess your site’s pest risk, soil moisture, neighboring vegetation, and building plans to determine the best pest protection strategy.
Recommendation & barrier design
We propose barrier options (chemical, physical, or both) tailored to your budget, risk and regulatory requirements.
Installation during construction
As foundations, slabs, footings, and relevant structural elements are constructed, we install the barriers properly, coordinating with builders to avoid delays.
Inspection & ongoing monitoring
After construction, we offer inspections to ensure the protection remains intact, especially if there are changes (e.g. landscaping, soil level changes).

FAQs
What exactly is “pre-construction pest treatment”?
It refers to installing pest barriers (chemical and/or physical) during the building phase—before slab or frame construction—to prevent termites or other pests from establishing access.
Is this legally required?
Yes — many Australian states and local councils require termite protection in new construction / major extensions. It varies by location and building type.
How long does the treatment last?
Depending on the type of barrier, soil conditions, moisture levels, and proper installation, protection can last 5-20 years. Regular inspections are important.
Will barrier installation delay construction?
We work closely with builders to integrate our work into the build schedule. With good planning it's seamless.
What if the barrier is disturbed after construction (e.g. landscaping)?
Changes like soil fill or deep landscaping can compromise barriers, so we recommend re-inspection after any major grounds work.
