When building a new home, you’re laying the foundation for your future. But are you protecting it from one of Australia’s most costly threats? Termite protection for new homes is not just a recommendation—it’s a must-have part of the building process.
Why Termite Protection Matters
New homes are at high risk of termite attack, especially during and after construction. Slab edges, pipe entries, and untreated timber create easy access points for termites. Without protection, these tiny pests can cause structural damage before you even settle in.
Installing termite protection for new homes during the construction stage is the most effective and affordable way to prevent long-term damage.
Proven Termite Protection Systems
Professionals use solutions that comply with Australian Standard AS 3660.1, including:
Physical barriers – Non-chemical mesh or membrane layers beneath slabs and around plumbing points
Chemical barriers – Soil treatments that form a protective zone around your home’s foundation
Reticulation systems – Piping networks for future termiticide reapplication without disruption
Baiting systems – In-ground monitors that detect and manage termite colonies before they reach your home
These systems are tailored to suit your property and risk level.
Costs and Compliance
On average, termite protection for new homes costs between $1,500 and $3,500. All installations come with a compliance certificate—essential for council approvals and builder handovers.
