Re: Concrete path around house 16Mar 11, 2013 10:19 am This is roughly what most termite reticulation methods rely on. Although I think that is a bit wrong myself. We used to have the DPC coming down onto the concrete and lay all the bricks on top of that. To get your minimum visibilty though we had to leave 75mm of the slab exposed. Then again we never used any form of chemical termite barrier relying solely on gal pier caps and barriers for timber sub floors and the 75mm exposed slab for when we poured a concrete slab. The biggest problem is where people build up a garden along the edge of their house as someone else has mentioned inviting termites to have a feed. Stewie Re: Concrete path around house 17Mar 11, 2013 11:01 am As qualified and accredited timber pest inspector I can tell you that the simplest and effective non chemical method is to have 75mm slab exposed around dwelling as inspection zone (as Stewie mentioned ) but for some inexplicable reason it is not done in VIC. We prefer to pump toxins into our environment. One million homes= lot of chemicals x retreatment every 5-7 years. Want definition of insanity? You have got it!

If so, the BCA, as the primary document, has hierarchy. EDIT: 18/07/2017. The 3 part National Construction Code is now free to download and Termite Management is found in Part 2, BCA 3.1.3. The BCA references several Australian Standards including AS 3660.1 but note that the code also contains State variations. 3in1 Supadiverta.

We prefer to pump toxins into our environment. One million homes= lot of chemicals x retreatment every 5-7 years. Want definition of insanity? You have got it! Is this still preferred? 75mm of slab exposed from the finished heigh of concrete footpath? And concrete footpath is 50mm of compacted roadbase + 100mm concrete slab? Did I get the right? 225mm in total from The base of the bottom bricks. Sorry just need to know. We have excavated 175mm below my first bricks to prepare for a concrete footpath. Just wondering if I have excavated too much? Hello everyone, After some suggestions and ideas about how to put a concrete path around the drop edge beam area on our new build.
