Digital

We can support the digital twin design of buildings but utilising the latest technology in preparing our specifications and designs. We also integrate our outputs with BIM where projects are designed using those platforms.

Room Acoustic Modelling

Using acoustic modelling software, CDC can create a 3D representation of a room or space. This is typically completed for large volumed and non-cuboid shaped spaces which cannot be accurately calculated.  

This model can used to: 

  • Predict the reverberation time in a room or space, using the proposed room finishes 
  • Predict other design criteria, such as speech transmission index (STI) for spaces 
  • Use the modelling to assess the most efficient use of the acoustic absorption and any noise sources to achieve any required criteria  

See room acoustic modelling in action in our video on the International Inclusive Cricket Centre.

Acoustic mark ups

BIM has increasingly become a requirement for large-scale projects all over the country, particularly with alignment with the golden-thread for the Building Safety Act.

We can help smooth out the process by:

  • Providing acoustic mark ups as 2d or 3d plans
  • Using file sharing portals as part of the Managing document naming protocols in line with the guidance from BS1192 and ISO19650
  • Adding acoustic performance requirements as room or construction tags

Environmental Noise Modelling

Predicting and mitigating environmental noise impacts is essential for sustainable development. We offer advanced noise modelling services to support your projects.

Our services include:

  • Environmental noise modelling and mapping using the latest version of Soundplan
  • Impact assessments and mitigation planning
  • Integration of findings into project design and planning decisions

Digital Site Inspections

Traditional site inspections involve walking around the site and discussing what is seen, taking notes and photos. These then need to be written up in to report, and this process takes extra time which can cause delays in any remedial work that may be required.  

CDC have the capability to complete digital site inspections, which can: 

  • Undertake a thorough review of a project as the design progresses
  • Ensure the acoustic requirements have been implemented
  • Help to improve the accuracy of project costing
  • Help resolve clashes
