In March 2022, our esteemed client, a renowned industry professional, engaged the services of the A Team to manage the Compliance Testing for their ambitious new build site in Swanage. Our task involved conducting Air Permeability Testing and Sound Insulation Testing for a range of house types, including apartments, to fulfill compliance requirements for SAP calculations, Part L1a, and Part E of the Building Regulations.

To begin, we meticulously assessed the number of house types and sound insulation designs present on the site. Our analysis revealed a consistent sound insulation design between party walls and floors, encompassing nine apartments and nineteen houses. Based on this information, we developed a comprehensive testing schedule comprising twelve sound tests.

With the testing schedule in place, our Experienced Engineers Team commenced their work, completing the tests across four site visits. During the visits, we collaborated closely with the site manager to ensure a seamless testing process for each plot. By identifying areas requiring attention to achieve the desired results, we proactively addressed any potential issues. Our team understood the specific requirements of each plot, enabling us to provide tailored solutions. Remarkably, we accomplished all required testing within a timeframe of less than six months.

The client expressed great satisfaction with our on-site engineering team and the exceptional support provided by our Relationship Manager team in the office. Our commitment to delivering superior service surpassed compliance expectations, solidifying our reputation as the go-to experts in the field.

Conclusion: The A Team successfully conducted Air Permeability Testing and Sound Insulation Testing for a new build development in Swanage. Through efficient project management and the expertise of our engineers, we achieved compliance with Building Regulations, enabling our client to obtain the necessary certifications for their project. Our dedication to exceeding expectations and delivering exceptional results reaffirms the A Team's commitment to excellence in the construction industry.
