Acoustic project documentation is the translation of acoustic requirements into detailed design at the architectural and mechanical project stage. Build sections, material lists, installation detail drawings, simulation reports and performance calculations are prepared together. Solving acoustic problems after the building is finished is far more expensive than designing it correctly from day one.
What is an acoustic project?
An acoustic project is the engineering dossier that documents a building or facility's acoustic requirements through detailed drawings, calculations and material lists. Prepared in parallel with architectural and mechanical projects, it is followed by the supervising engineer during construction.
Project phases
- Existing-state analysis: space type, intended use, environmental conditions
- Performance-target definition: Rw, RT60, NC, STI parameters
- Build-section design: wall, ceiling, floor, door details
- Simulation verification: with ODEON, EASE, INSUL
- Material list: certified products, quantity, thickness
- Installation detail drawings: 1/10 - 1/20 scale
- Specification: application requirements
Software we use
- ODEON: room acoustic simulation (RT60, STI)
- EASE: concert and stage loudspeaker design
- INSUL: Rw of building elements
- SoundPLAN / CadnaA: environmental noise mapping
- AutoCAD / Revit: architectural + acoustic coordination
Project deliverable format
- Description report (PDF, typically 30-80 pages)
- Detail drawings (PDF + DWG)
- Material list (Excel)
- Simulation screen captures
- Build-section visuals (3D render)
- Specification text
Early phase vs late phase
An acoustic project delivers the highest value when carried out at the design phase. After architectural decisions are made, acoustic intervention can double the building budget. Early-phase design lays out the right wall thickness, the right facade system and the right ventilation duct from the start.
Lead time and cost
A single space (room/studio) project 1-3 weeks. A building project 4-12 weeks. An industrial facility 8-20 weeks. Investment is 0.5-2% of the construction budget; it saves on construction cost.
Certificate
The design dossier is delivered with the engineer's signature and chamber-registered diploma number. It is valid in building-inspection, acoustic-supervisor and insurance processes.
