Our services focus on optimising the key elements of acoustic performance: mass, isolation, and absorption.
By carefully reviewing acoustic details, we help you achieve compliance with Approved Document E through our streamlined 4-step Acoustic Design Package:
(1) Site Survey Visits – to let us view the existing site construction. This allows us to check for potential problematic construction such as inclusion of lightweight blocks in the existing construction. It also lets us check that the installation teams are installing the acoustic materials as per manufacturer’s guidelines.
(2) Sample Sound Testing – of the existing construction. This offers an accurate overview of the acoustic performance of the existing partitions which enables us to offer a targeted acoustic design using the sound insulation performance of the existing construction.
(3) Acoustic Design Review – a full design review of the proposed developments party walls and floors. Site Survey Visits – to let us view the existing site construction. This allows us to check for potential problematic construction such as inclusion of lightweight blocks in the existing construction. It also lets us check that the installation teams are installing the acoustic materials as per manufacturer’s guidelines.
(4) Final pre-completion Sound Testing – to satisfy Approved Document E and attain building control signoff.
