Pre-construction termite treatment involves installing a termite management system during the construction phase to protect a new building from termite attack. Clarkes provides pre-construction termite treatment for new homes and commercial builds across Penrith, the Blue Mountains and Western Sydney.
Who This Service Is For
- Builders and developers of new homes
- Owner-builders constructing a new property
- Anyone building an extension or renovation
- Commercial construction projects
- Developers requiring termite management for new estates
Why Pre-Construction Treatment Matters
- New homes are not immune to termites
- Termite management should be considered as part of the building design and construction process
- Installing protection during construction is more cost-effective than retrofitting
- Building on previously bushed land increases termite risk
- Without protection, new homes can be attacked within years
What's Included
- Pre-construction termite management appropriate to the project and construction stage
- Physical barrier installation at pipe penetrations

The Treatment Process

We provide the service documentation relevant to the termite-management work completed.
How to Prepare
- Provide building plans and construction schedule
- Coordinate with your builder to ensure access at the right stage
- Ensure the site is prepared for treatment (slab prepared, penetrations visible)

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I discuss pre-construction termite management?
Discuss it early in the build so the available options can be considered before relevant construction areas become inaccessible. Your builder or certifier can advise on project-specific building requirements.
When should the treatment be done?
Treatment is typically done at the pre-slab stage for soil treatment, and at the appropriate construction stage for physical barriers. We coordinate with your builder.
What documentation do you provide?
We provide documentation relevant to the termite-management service completed. If your builder or certifier needs specific project documents, tell us when arranging the work.
