New homeowners, builders, developers, draftsman, steel frames, and commercial factory builders should know that AS3660.1-2014 is the Australian Standard for the Building Code of Australia (BCA). All working drawings should have stamped plans noted (termite protection is needed per AS3660.1).

New Builds Termite Protection AS3660.1 Melbourne

Termite homeowners & Builders, Melbourne

Part A, a penetration pipe collar under the concrete home slab, is the most frequent termite protection surrounding the pipe. If no pipes protrude, Part A will be placed as a termite chemical barrier before the concrete slab, brick piers, stumps, or footings.

Part B is the second chemical perimeter barrier, physical termite blanket, or reticulation system product used around the home at various phases of construction.

The local council and building surveyor must qualify the property for an AS3660.1 termite certificate of occupancy after your project. During construction, you must install component part A, which is a termite barrier requirement.

Post-construction services include home restorations, house expansions, steel frames, roof trusses, and new decking for commercial, warehouse, and residential structures. For any new or existing pergola, we will give the necessary treatment, certification, and sticker for building clearance. All new construction work requires AS3660.1 termite protection, per your performance solution report. Consult your building surveyor or call us to explore your choices.

In-ground Baiting Stations, Melbourne

The leading termite monitoring baiting stations are the Trelona devices for termite baiting (click here), which utilise fewer chemicals than conventional termite stations to eradicate a colony, making them more eco-friendly than chemical protection. Consider non-toxic termite baiting if you oppose the use of chemicals in the soil around your house. Chemical termite treatment remains the strongest defence.

Termite Protection AS3660.1 Melbourne

New commercial steel construction, existing homes, factory/warehouse footing spray, house renovations, steel frames, subfloor spray, roof trusses, new timber deck certificates, and new house subfloor stump spray in Melbourne require termite protection (3660.1) for parts a and b. Rapid installs any AS3660.1 physical or chemical barrier around the slab before or after the concrete slab is created, with pest controller certification.

What is Pre-Construction Termite Protection, Melbourne

Termite prevention is required while building a business factory, warehouse, or residence or rebuilding a steel frame addition. All new termite-protected homes and buildings must have a physical barrier, under Australian Standard 3660.1. Pre-construction termite protection in Melbourne, Victoria, requires protecting termite penetration collars and the house slab edge.

We propose installing termite protection if your council or building surveyor requires it for the concrete slab. Without a termite collar (penetration), you must drill and inject the slab to receive your certificate of conformity.
