Pre-Construction Termite Management Sydney
AS 3660.1 Compliant Termite Barriers for New Builds & Renovations.
Building in Sydney without termite protection is a risk no builder or homeowner should take. Pest Elite installs compliant chemical soil barriers, physical membrane systems, and reticulation networks during construction — protecting your investment before the slab is poured, with compliance certificates issued the same day.
Treatment at Every Stage of Construction
We work around your build timeline — not the other way around
Pre-Pour Soil Treatment
Termidor or Biflex applied to prepared soil and footings before the concrete slab is poured. Creates a continuous treated zone beneath the entire building footprint.
Post-Pour Perimeter
After the slab sets, we treat the full perimeter at the slab edge and all service penetrations — pipe chases, conduit entries, and cable ducts where concealed entry is possible.
Physical Barrier Install
Kordon or Homeguard sheeting installed at slab junctions, wall bases, and penetrations where physical exclusion is specified in the treatment plan or BCA requirements.
Certificate Issued
AS 3660.1 compliance certificate emailed same day — covering product used, application rates, treated zones, and installer credentials. Ready for your certifier immediately.
Which Barrier System Is Right for Your Build?
We recommend after reviewing your plans and site conditions — never before
| System | Best For | Retreatment | Warranty | BCA Compliant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Termidor Chemical | Standard slab-on-ground, most builds | Excavation or reticulation | Up to 8 years | ✓ Yes |
| Kordon Membrane | Where future soil access is limited | Not required (physical) | Life of building | ✓ Yes |
| Homeguard Sheeting | Junctions, penetrations, slab edges | Not required (physical) | Life of building | ✓ Yes |
| Reticulation System | Future-proofing, difficult access sites | Pipe injection — no excavation | Product dependent | ✓ Yes |
| Combined Systems | High-risk sites, complex builds | Chemical component only | Up to 8 years | ✓ Yes |

Fast site scheduling to meet your pour dates, competitive project pricing, and same-day compliance certificates emailed directly to your certifier. Once construction is complete, we recommend annual AS 3660.2 termite inspections to maintain protection and catch any barrier breaches early. Call to discuss a builder account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pre-construction termite treatment mandatory in Sydney?
Yes. Australian Standard AS 3660.1 requires a compliant termite management system for all new Class 1 and Class 10 buildings. This is checked at the occupancy certificate stage by your private certifier or council inspector.
What’s the difference between AS 3660.1 and AS 3660.2?
AS 3660.1 covers termite management for new construction — barriers and treated zones installed during the build. AS 3660.2 covers inspection and management in existing buildings — annual inspections, thermal imaging, and chemical barriers for homes already built. Both are required at different stages of a property’s life.
Can you work around our construction schedule?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your site supervisor to schedule treatments around pour dates and framing stages. We aim to be on-site within 24–48 hours of your request and understand that schedule delays have real cost implications on a build.
Do you issue the compliance certificate the same day?
Yes. The AS 3660.1 certificate is emailed on the day of treatment — covering product, application rates, treated areas, and installer credentials. Your certifier can accept this directly.
