Builders & Architects
RDL provides you with a choice of possible construction solutions that have been proven to outperform the standards of Part E, thus eliminating the need for routine pre-completion sound testing.
The Robust Details Handbook, which includes the robust detail specification sheets and site Checklists, is an essential tool which can help both builders and building control bodies to ensure that separating walls and floors are built properly.
We also provide a site checklist and compliance certificate with your registration document. Use the checklist to help ensure that the building work is carried out in accordance with the relevant Robust Detail. Once the separating wall(s) and / or floor(s) in each home are completed, fill-in the compliance certificate for the home and hand it to the Building Control Body.
Using Robust Details avoids the need to carry out pre-completion sound testing. This eliminates the risk and uncertainty of remedial action being required on completed floor or wall constructions, with the potential delays in completing the property. You will be investing in constructions that add real value to the building rather than paying test fees. You will also avoid the delays and uncertainties of pre-completion sound testing.
