Acoustic advice for architects and contractors.
Noise complaints after handover are expensive to resolve and damage your reputation. We already collaborate in the design phase to prevent acoustic problems. Prevention is always cheaper than repair, especially with sound insulation where mistakes are often in the construction.

Specification review: we assess whether the specification is acoustically feasible and flag risks. NEN-EN 12354 calculations: we calculate the expected sound insulation based on the architectural design, so the specification can be adjusted before construction starts. Façade insulation calculations for traffic noise. Detailing advice: wall-floor connections, penetrations, flanking sound paths. Construction supervision: checking correct execution of acoustic measures.
Post-measurements at handover
After construction we perform control measurements compliant with NEN 5077 to verify that the realisation matches the specification. This protects you from claims by buyers or tenants. Any defects are identified before the property is handed over, while remediation is still relatively easy.
For developers and investors
We deliver the acoustic report for permit processes in property splitting, room rental and change of use. From first advice to permit granting, we guide the entire process. Including a sound plan with improvement measures if the existing situation does not comply. For investors who split or convert multiple properties we offer volume agreements and we know the specific requirements of all major municipalities in the Netherlands.

Preventing common acoustic construction mistakes
The most common construction mistakes we encounter are: unsealed penetrations through party walls, missing edge insulation in floating screeds, incorrectly applied battening acting as a sound bridge and insufficient mass in separating constructions. By involving us early in the design process you prevent these mistakes and the high repair costs that come with them.
