Nine Steps to follow for achieving acoustical comfort

The steps are broken down into three groups Behavior, Design and Acoustical Treatment.

1. Speech Privacy – We identify the necessary levels of privacy required for each work group and layout based on most efficient configurations.
2. Behavioral Expectations- We assist with the development of expected protocols of the departments. This is geared to assist in the reduction of distractions and best use of existing space.
3. Design Adaptation – We recommend new plan changes based on ideal configuration and report results.
4. Laying out Zones-Taking the work patterns into consideration. This is the step that groups likely areas of the business together for proper functionality and setting physical and space barriers between opposing areas.
5. Spatial layout – This stage is taking all the compiled details that have been gathered by officefitout.com.ng to create a space that gives ideal distances between work areas from supporting activities such as photocopy areas, kitchen space, conference room and training entry areas where potential queues could be expected.
6. Selection of Furniture – By utilising our detailed research we can recommend the most appropriate selections based on sound comfort, layout efficiency and lastly budget requirements.
7. Sound Absorbing Components – The use of specially designed ceilings, walls and surrounding surfaces are introduces and critical areas of the fit out to leverage best possible sound mitigation to your new offices.
8. Sound Masking in the office – The process of introducing ambient noise in designated areas to create speech privacy.
9. Dividers/Screens that are engineered and fabricated to minimise and isolate sound in designated areas. i.e. areas where private information is being shared such as conference facilities, executive offices and accounting department to list a few.

Part of every fitout includes considering the required levels of balance of concentration and required interaction between each work group of the organisation. Please call our offices to inquire how we may be able to assist you on your upcoming fit out.
