Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat is a pre-construction termite barrier?
A pre-construction termite barrier is a chemical and/or physical barrier installed during the building process before the concrete slab is poured. It prevents termites from accessing the structure through the slab edge and any penetrations. This is required under Australian Building Code (AS 3660.1) for all new residential construction.
QHow much does a pre-construction termite barrier cost?
We don't quote a fixed price online — every job gets a free onsite quote, with no call-out fee to get one. Final cost depends on the property, pest activity, access and treatment scope, confirmed before you book.
QHow long does a pre-construction termite barrier last?
Chemical barriers typically last 5-10 years depending on the product and soil conditions. Physical barriers (stainless steel mesh or crushed granite) are permanent. We provide full certification and documentation for your builder and future reference, and recommend regular inspections even with barriers in place.
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Melbourne
Installing termite protection during the construction phase is the single most cost-effective way to protect a new Melbourne home from termite damage. Pre-construction termite barriers are required under the Australian Building Code (AS 3660.1) for all new residential builds. Pest Eraze provides both chemical and physical pre-construction termite barriers across Melbourne, working directly with builders to ensure full compliance and long-term protection.
Types of Pre-Construction Termite Barriers
- Chemical barriers (pre-slab): Termiticide is applied to the soil and sand bed before the concrete slab is poured. This creates a continuous treated zone under the entire building footprint. The chemical also extends around the slab perimeter and all penetration points (pipes, conduits)
- Physical barriers: Systems like Termimesh (stainless steel mesh) or Granitgard (graded granite particles) are installed at slab edges and around penetrations. These physical barriers are permanent and do not degrade over time
- Combined systems: Many builders opt for chemical treatment under the slab combined with physical barriers at penetrations for maximum protection
When Is Pre-Construction Treatment Done?
- Site preparation: Once the site is excavated and levelled, we inspect and treat the prepared surface
- Pre-slab treatment: Chemical is applied to the compacted sand bed immediately before the concrete pour. Timing is critical - the treatment must be done within the builder's pour schedule
- Penetration treatment: All service penetrations through the slab (plumbing, electrical, gas) are treated or fitted with physical barriers
- Perimeter treatment: The external slab edge is treated to complete the continuous barrier
- Certification: We provide a Termite Management Certificate (AS 3660.1 compliant) for your builder, council, and building surveyor
Cost vs Risk
Pre-construction termite barriers are priced per build after a free onsite quote, with no call-out fee. Compare that to the average cost of termite damage repair ($10,000 to $50,000+) and the fact that most home insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Pre-construction protection is a fraction of your total build cost and provides peace of mind for the life of the home.
