Residential
We provide acoustical design consulting, recommendations and investigations for all types of residential buildings, including single family homes, townhouses, multi-use developments and apartment towers. Acoustic design is important in a residential building because it can affect the quality of life for the residents and the value of the property. Poor acoustic design can result in noise pollution that makes it difficult for residents to sleep, concentrate, or enjoy their home. Good acoustic design, on the other hand, can help to create a peaceful and comfortable living space where residents can relax and enjoy their home.
In a residential building, acoustic design is typically concerned with reducing the transmission of noise between units and between different areas of the building, such as mechanical and electrical rooms. This can be achieved through the careful selection and construction of wall, floor and ceiling assemblies. While retrofits and renovations are one means of improving the acoustic performance of an existing building, it is always best to consider these elements at the initial design stages to achieve the best performance and most cost-effective results.
