Planning a new build in Penrith? Learn why termite management should be coordinated with construction stages and what information to provide.
Pre-construction termite management is easiest to plan when it is discussed early in the build.
Clarkes Termite & Pest Management works with homeowners, builders and project teams across Penrith and Western Sydney to coordinate pest-management work around relevant construction stages.
As a build progresses, areas that are accessible early in construction can later become covered or difficult to reach.
That is why termite-management work should be discussed before the relevant stage has passed.
The appropriate approach depends on:
When contacting Clarkes about a Penrith build, provide:
This helps Clarkes understand when attendance may be required.
Clear communication with the builder or project manager is important.
The pest-management technician may need to attend before another trade covers the work area. Site access, inductions and scheduling should be resolved in advance where possible.
If the builder or certifier needs particular service documentation, mention that when arranging the work.
Contact Clarkes with the current stage of construction.
The available options depend on what has already been built and what areas are still accessible.
Do not assume that a method planned for an earlier stage can still be used after that area has been completed.
No property should be treated as requiring no future attention simply because termite management was incorporated during construction.
Once the build is complete, future inspection and maintenance considerations depend on the property, landscaping, drainage, access and any termite-management measures in place.
Pre-construction termite-management discussions are not limited to completely new homes.
Extensions and major renovations can also change access, building interfaces and termite-management considerations.
Provide the project scope so Clarkes can discuss whether pest-management work should be coordinated with the renovation.
Before work progresses, clarify:
If you are building or renovating in Penrith, call Clarkes on 0405 501 098 before the next relevant construction stage.
Provide the address, project stage and builder contact so the job can be discussed properly.
