| • | Carry out an appraisal of the Architect’s proposed design drawings and assess the design options put forward so as to meet the specified sound insulation targets of good-practice guidance (BS 8233, BB93, BREEAM, ANC, and Equality Challenge Unit Guidance etc.). |
| • | Assess proposed surface finishes and dimensions of all classrooms using Sabine or ray tracing models as appropriate to ensure good practice design requirements are met with regard to reverberation times. Also assist the Architect in specifying additional finishes and design solutions to ensure compliance with the design specification. |
