Pre-construction treatment on a slab site

Know the enemy

Build it protected, or repair it later

Every new build in the Northern Rivers goes up inside one of Australia's busiest termite regions — disturbed soil, fresh timber and warm damp ground make a construction site a beacon. Building standards require a termite management system in new homes, and up here that requirement is doing you a genuine favour.

The construction stage is the only time slab edges, penetrations and under-slab zones can be treated properly — after handover, those areas are sealed away forever. We work in with the region's builders and owner-builders to treat at the right stages and hand over the certification your certifier needs.

Did you know?

The pipes and conduits that pass through your slab are termites' favourite hidden entrance — and slab stage is the only time in the building's life they can be properly protected. Miss the window and it never comes back.

How it works on your build

Staged with your construction program, certified for your certifier.

1

Scheduled around the build

We work from your slab and framing dates so treatments land exactly when they should — no hold-ups on your program, no missed windows on ours.

2

Slab penetrations and perimeter

Service penetrations and slab edges treated before and during the pour — closing the concealed entry routes for the life of the building.

3

Final external zone

Once landscaping levels are set, the perimeter treated zone or reticulation system completes the envelope. In this region, reticulation at build time is a particularly smart investment.

4

Certification, handed over

The documentation your certifier requires, plus durable records of the installed system — which future buyers in termite country will genuinely value.

Frequently asked questions

Is termite protection required for new builds here?

Yes — new residential construction must include a termite management system to meet the building code, and certifiers ask for evidence. Given the region's termite pressure, it's one code requirement nobody should resent.

We're building on acreage in the hinterland — do you come out?

Yes — rural and hinterland builds are a big part of construction in this region, and bush-adjacent sites are exactly where protection matters most. Send through the site details and your slab dates.

When do you need to be on site?

Typically at slab stage for penetrations and perimeter, and again at completion once final ground levels exist. Give us your construction timeline and we'll slot in around your trades.

Does an extension really need this?

Up here, absolutely — a new slab edge against an existing home creates a fresh entry route in a high-pressure region. We treat the new work and tie it into the existing home's protection so there's no weak seam.
