AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS
Essential Termite Protection Guidelines Pre-Construction
The reality is that at least thirty per cent (30%) of all homes in Australia will suffer from subterranean termite infestation. These averages mean that one in three buildings will have an infestation of termites each year, causing costly charges for property owners. Those in the building trades know that this infestation can cause structural damage to domestic and commercial properties. Most importantly, the physical damage caused by termites can weaken a building to the point of being too dangerous to live in or enter.
- All builders should be aware that the Building Code of Australia or BCA, as well as the Australian Standard AS3660.1-2000, has determined in regard to termite barriers for builders, the following must take place:
- All new homes and all homes that are undergoing renovation will partake in some form of termite protection or termite management system to deter subterranean termites.
- The termite control system used must meet the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and the Australian Standard AS3660.1-2014 to be considered effective.
- Proof of these performance actions must be met with evidence in the form of documentation for the building certification standards to be satisfied.
- Until a home is certified as having met these regulations, temporary or permanent occupation cannot legally take place.
For successful termite barriers installed during construction to be effective, builders must work with their pest control expert to make sure both chemical and/or physical means of termite control are applied.
- In Part A, these will be applied as a barrier before the slab has been poured or in the “pre-slab” phase of construction.
- In Part B, additional chemical and/or physical products will be used around the perimeter of the house at varying stages during the building process.
