Proper construction execution is critical to achieving acoustic design objectives. Our site inspection services ensure that acoustic specifications are correctly implemented throughout the construction process, protecting your investment and performance expectations.

Pre-Construction Review

Before construction begins, we verify that all acoustic requirements are properly documented:

• Shop drawing and submittal review
• Material specification verification
• Installation detail clarification
• Contractor qualification assessment
• Coordination with other building systems

Construction Phase Inspections

Regular site visits during construction ensure proper implementation of acoustic systems:

Wall and Ceiling Assemblies

• Insulation placement and coverage
• Air sealing and vapor barrier continuity
• Stud spacing and framing details
• Gypsum board installation techniques
• Sealant application and joint sealing

Floor-Ceiling Assemblies

• Impact isolation system installation
• Floating floor construction verification
• Ceiling suspension system inspection
• Penetration sealing and treatment
• Resilient channel and isolation clip placement

Doors and Windows

• Acoustic door installation verification
• Gasket and sealing system inspection
• Window and curtain wall performance
• Hardware and adjustment verification
• Perimeter sealing and weatherization

Mechanical System Installation

HVAC and mechanical systems require careful installation to meet acoustic objectives:

• Vibration isolation system installation
• Ductwork installation and sealing
• Equipment mounting and isolation verification
• Sound attenuator placement and orientation
• Piping and conduit isolation inspection

Final Inspections and Testing

Comprehensive final inspections verify that all acoustic requirements have been met:

• Visual inspection of all acoustic installations
• Field testing of assembly performance
• Mechanical system noise verification
• Deficiency identification and remediation
• Performance certification and documentation

Quality Assurance Benefits

Professional site inspections provide significant value throughout the construction process:

• Early identification and correction of installation issues
• Reduced risk of costly remediation after construction
• Verification that performance objectives will be met
• Documentation for warranty and liability protection
• Peace of mind for owners and design professionals
