Architectural acoustics defines how a building controls sound between spaces and within rooms.
In Saudi projects, this directly affects residential privacy, mosque clarity, healthcare confidentiality, and office productivity.
We provide calculation-based building acoustics consultancy in Saudi Arabia, focused on measurable insulation and controlled reverberation.
Sound Insulation Engineering
We design partitions, slabs, façades, and shafts to achieve target:
- STC / Rw ratings
- L’n,w impact criteria
- IIC performance
- Low-frequency enhancement where required
Our work includes:
- Assembly-based transmission modelling
- Flanking path identification
- Junction detailing review
- Penetration and service coordination
- Door and glazing interface evaluation
This ensures room-to-room privacy and authority compliance under the Saudi Building Code.
Façade & External Noise Control
In cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah, façade design must address:
- Road traffic noise
- Urban commercial activity
- Mechanical yard exposure
We undertake:
- External noise assessment
- Façade transmission prediction
- Glazing configuration evaluation
- Airtightness strategy review
The objective is to maintain internal NC and bedroom comfort criteria without overdesigning façade systems.
Impact Noise & Floor Systems
Residential towers and hospitality projects require controlled impact transmission.
We design:
- ΔLw underlay systems
- Floating screed assemblies
- Gym and activity floor isolation
- Vertical flanking mitigation
Engineering includes:
- Mass–spring evaluation
- Compressive strength compatibility
- Edge isolation detailing
- Service sleeve coordination
The result is predictable compliance with L’n,w targets in villas and apartments across Saudi Arabia.
Room Acoustics & Reverberation Control
Room function determines acoustic requirement.
We model and design to achieve:
- Target RT60
- Speech clarity (C50 / STI where required)
- Balanced frequency response
- Echo control in reflective spaces
Applications include:
- Mosques and prayer halls in Makkah and Madinah
- Classrooms and universities
- Healthcare consultation rooms
- Government meeting spaces
- Conference rooms and auditoriums
Our approach integrates material distribution, ceiling strategy, wall absorption, and architectural coordination.
Flanking Transmission & Interface Control
Acoustic performance often fails at junctions, not materials.
We review and coordinate:
- Slab-to-wall junctions
- Façade-to-structure interfaces
- Ceiling void continuity
- Service penetrations
- Deflection head details
This prevents hidden transmission paths that cause post-handover complaints.
Deliverables
For each project, we provide:
- Acoustic calculation reports
- Â STC / Rw prediction tables
- Impact noise compliance assessment
- Reverberation modelling summary
- Marked-up coordination drawings
- Compliance statement aligned with SBC and ISO standards
Architectural acoustics is not about adding panels at the end.
It is about engineering performance into the building envelope from the start.
