Pre-con protection
There is no such thing as a silly question - We strive to help.
Pre-construction - new building work
It is vital to install a termite management system at the time of construction to prevent concealed termite entry. In Queensland, Australia, it is mandatory to have appropriate protection installed by a licensed company to gain final certification. The system installed needs to be “Life of Structure”. That means it is required to last 50 years.
Requirements to install a termite management system to new construction
The license for an installer is different from Post-Construction (existing structure). They need these additional qualifications:
They need to be licensed through the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission) with both their Termite Management – Chemical & Termite Management – Physical.
They need to have their Timber Pest license that is issued by Queensland Health
They also need to have the Unit of Competency 42 – Install Physical Termite Management System
They need to be officially accredited by the manufacturer of the system/product they are installing
What needs to be done to gain the appropriate paperwork to gain certification:
Have a termite system installed to the manufacturer’s instructions by a licensed and accredited installer.
Form 43 is a document given to the Certifier stating the scope of work and products used.
They need to have their Timber Pest license that is issued by Queensland Health
