Termite protection for new build

Remember your system is certified on completion
Your slab is termite barrier provided it is monolithic and pipe collars are good enough as part "A" of your termite protection system. Part"B" is your perimeter protection and that should be enough but you can always choose to do more than the minimum if you like.

Hi buildingexpert
Do you see the need for H2 treated timber fully throughout the timber roofframe of a brick build? In WA seems that H2 treated timber doesn't have to be used on all pieces and I'm unsure if need to upgrade or not. I'm from NZ and there it's a no brainier but mainly to protect against damp. Not the same issue in sunny WA! A friend said that if you have white ant/termite issues at plate height you have a bigger problem anyway so isnt upgrading to all fully treated roof framing....
Thanks

Yes, neither is termite damage that is not covered by your house insurance.
