SERVICING BARANGAROO
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Across Barangaroo
What we cover in Barangaroo, and how quickly we can get there.
Our Sydney CBD & Inner City technicians cover Barangaroo and the rest of 2000 as a matter of course - it is only about 0.9 km north-west of the city. Our technicians are through Barangaroo most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Observatory Hill Park, Westfield Sydney or Westfield 111 Castlereagh, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Barangaroo for us.
Our runs through Barangaroo also take in Millers Point, The Rocks and Pyrmont. In a tower the population is usually shared. We treat your unit and tell you plainly if the source is common property, because that is what the building has to act on.
Most Barangaroo bookings come in as apartments where the problem turns out to be in the riser or the bin room rather than the flat. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Wynyard station and Barangaroo station are on the same round, which means every part of 2000 is within our area.
When you book, we confirm the 2000 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Millers Point or The Rocks that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
The failures we are called to inspect are rarely the product. They are a collar missed on a late-added pipe, a perimeter left short at a step-down, or a membrane torn by a trade after we left and never reported.
Retro-fitting means drilling and injecting a finished slab, working around landscaping and services. It is slower, more expensive and less complete than doing it at construction on a Barangaroo block.
The standard covers the system, the installation and the documentation. All three have to be right - a correctly installed system with missing paperwork still holds up a Barangaroo handover.
- Fixed quote from your plans
- Installation staged around your build program
- Physical and chemical systems, and combinations of the two
- Durable notice and certificate for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Barangaroo
Photos from our own Sydney installations, not stock images. We recommend the right mix for your slab design, site and budget.
Full Under-Slab Membrane
A termite-resistant physical layer across the prepared ground, installed before the pour and covering the whole slab footprint.
Penetration Collars
A collar is sealed around each plumbing pipe, conduit and service passing through the slab, because those are the most common hidden entry points.
Perimeter & Slab Edge Barrier
The slab edge and the wall cavity take a physical barrier, which denies termites a concealed route up the outside of the slab.
Chemical Soil Barrier & Reticulation
APVMA-registered termiticide applied to the soil. Add a reticulation network and the barrier can be topped up later without digging anything up.
Suspended Floors & Piers
For sloping or elevated sites, protection covering the piers, bearers and suspended timber floor.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Sydney sites bring retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs and cut-and-fill, each of which needs specific detailing.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Barangaroo
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Doing it now is far cheaper than retrofitting a system later, and cheaper again than repairing termite damage.
Required by the NCC
Class 1 homes and Class 10 outbuildings with termite-susceptible primary building elements must have a compliant termite management system.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Pipe penetrations and slab joints can only be fully protected before concrete covers them.
Whole-Footprint Protection
Areas no post-construction treatment can ever reach are covered by an under-slab system.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
No Occupation Certificate is issued without the installation certificate and durable notice going to the certifier.
Resale Confidence
Documented compliance on termite protection reassures the buyer, their inspector and the lender.
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Barangaroo
Both approaches can comply with AS 3660.1. Many Sydney builds use a combination.
| System | How it works | Durability & upkeep | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical membrane, mesh or graded stone | A layer of sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone that termites cannot chew through, laid under the slab or at the perimeter | Lasts the life of the slab where it is left undisturbed, with no chemical recharging | Slab-on-ground homes, and owners who would rather not use chemicals |
| Penetration collars | Physical collars sealed around every pipe and conduit through the slab | Long-lasting when installed correctly before the pour | Every slab. Usually combined with a perimeter system. |
| Chemical soil barrier | A treated zone of termiticide in the soil under and around the building | Service life depends on the product label and soil conditions. It can be re-applied. | Budget-conscious builds and some complex sites |
| Reticulation system | Pipework installed before paving so the soil can be re-treated by pumping | Can be topped up for the life of the building with no excavation of paths | Houses surrounded by paving or landscaped areas |
| Baiting (post-construction) | In-ground stations that monitor and then eliminate the colony | Stations need servicing on a regular schedule | Existing homes - see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Barangaroo
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
We work from your drawings and slab details, specify a system, and fix the price stage by stage before anything is booked.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Every service gets its collar, then the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment is installed on the prepared site.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
Perimeter and cavity barriers are installed with the brickwork or cladding, closing any gap at the slab edge.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
The chemical perimeter or reticulation system, if specified, goes in around the completed building before paving and landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is documented on a durable notice in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to builder and certifier.
06
Handover Advice
The owner is given maintenance guidance and an inspection schedule that keeps the system effective.
PAPERWORK
Documents You Receive at Handover in Barangaroo

| Product information | Information on the physical system or termiticide applied, including chemical safety data sheets | The builder and the owner |
| Maintenance & inspection advice | Maintenance guidance and the AS 3660.2 recommended inspection frequency | Homeowner |
FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Timing follows the plumbing set-out and the pour. Tell us when services are complete and we confirm the collars before the pour inspection.
- Collars to every penetration before concrete goes down
- Barrier to the slab edge and cavity as the walls are built
- The perimeter finished before paving starts
Multi-unit and repeat work
For developers and volume builders: consistent pricing, one point of contact, and documentation issued for every lot or dwelling.
Avoiding certification delays
Missing durable notices or unclear installation records are a common reason for occupation certificate delays. We supply everything together so the certifier has what they need.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Barangaroo
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- Keep at least 75 mm of the slab edge exposed as the inspection zone. Don't cover it with soil, mulch or paving.
- No garden beds built against the house, and no timber stacked on it
- Weep holes need to stay open, with no render or debris blocking them
- Repair any leaking tap, downpipe or hot water unit near the house
- Before drilling through the slab, tell the builder or the installer
- Check that new pipework and any extension is protected as well
- A timber pest inspection is due at least once every 12 months
- Store the durable notice and installation certificate with the property papers
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Barangaroo
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab size and perimeter run | Larger slabs need more membrane and perimeter protection, and more labour |
| The system specified | Under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems and chemical or reticulation options carry different prices |
| How many penetrations | Each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab requires its own collar |
| How complex the site is | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors all add detailing |
| Number of visits | The staged install follows your build program, and multi-dwelling sites can be combined |

Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Barangaroo
Estates built on cleared farmland inherit the colonies already living in that soil. A new Barangaroo house is not a fresh start from a termite point of view - it is a new food source on an established site.
Pre-purchase inspections ask about the system and the notice. Having both in order removes a negotiating point from the buyer's side.
Anywhere in Barangaroo is within the area we attend for pre-construction work, including sites the larger operators will not travel to.

FAQ
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before you book. Still unsure? Call us — we're happy to help.
Get a Free QuoteWhat am I looking at for pre-construction termite barriers in Barangaroo?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Barangaroo 2000. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
What is the wait for a technician in Barangaroo?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Barangaroo sits roughly 0.9 km north-west of the CBD, inside our Sydney CBD & Inner City run, so we book a time and keep to it.
What makes Barangaroo prone to termites?
Waste is centralised in a tower - chutes, bin rooms, loading areas - and that concentration is what keeps termites fed. Height makes no difference; the risers are a staircase.
What sort of properties do you treat in Barangaroo?
Apartments throughout, which means treating your lot and scoping the building where the pattern points at common property.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Barangaroo?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Barangaroo 2000 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Do we need to worry about pets or children afterwards?
Yes. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
How much time should I allow?
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
What happens if it is not fixed?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
Which areas around Barangaroo do you cover?
We do. Barangaroo and Millers Point, The Rocks, Pyrmont and Sydney are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
