Every new home in NSW must have a termite management system installed at construction. Here's what's required and how to choose between systems.
Under the Building Code of Australia, every new dwelling in NSW (with limited exceptions) must have a termite management system installed and certified to AS3660.1. This protects the structure from the day the slab is poured.
Pre-construction options include: physical barriers like Kordon or Termguard bonded to the slab perimeter, reticulated chemical systems with refillable injection lines under the slab, full-perimeter chemical treatment of the soil before slab pour, and stainless-steel mesh barriers (Termimesh) at penetrations.
For renovations and additions, the new section must be protected to the same standard as the existing dwelling — usually by extending the existing treatment, installing a reticulated system in the new footprint, or installing a perimeter Termidor HE barrier on completion.
The real cost of doing nothing
Small pest problems rarely stay small in Penrith's climate. Cockroaches can contaminate food areas, rodents can damage wiring and insulation, and termites can keep eating structural timber long before the damage is visible. A proactive inspection or treatment costs a fraction of a major infestation.
Two decades of Penrith pest experience
Family-owned and locally operated since 2004. Over 25,000 jobs completed across Penrith, the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury — backed by $20m public liability cover and a written service guarantee.

We work directly with builders across Penrith, St Marys, Marsden Park, Kellyville and Rouse Hill on pre-construction protection. Every job is documented with photos at each stage, a final certificate of installation and the durable notice required for the meter box.
Call 0400 733 222 well before slab day — late notice means delays. We can also audit your builder’s proposed system before contracts are signed to make sure you’re getting genuine, code-compliant protection.
