It’s essential to note the benefits that will arise from
this adoption; ultimately, the regulation helps to provide safer residential
buildings across the Middle East. More specifically, however, the building code
ensures that all companies are compliant, providing their clients – and
potential clients – with the knowledge that the company adheres to the
strictest building regulations. It is no secret that, in the past, the Middle
East has received a lot of negative press with regards to building regulations
and soundproofing – you only had to turn on a radio or open a newspaper to
discover the latest bout of complaints referring to noisy neighbours and
paper-thin walls. Fortunately, however, in the past few years, companies have
started to take note and implement the soundproofing changes and regulations
that were long overdue. The adoption of
the Part-E building code is merely the icing on the cake; the assurance that
all companies will be up to the same standard.
There are, however, disadvantages that arise with the new
regulations. Whilst it is, of course, an advantage (and a necessity) to be
compliant, the journey to reach that compliance may be tricky for many
companies; consider, for example, the extensive work that will have to be
carried out to ensure that all products and services are in line with the new
regulations, or the concern that may arise from clients with regards to whether
they are compliant or not. Regupol Acoustics Middle East is proud to be fully
compliant already and looks to support all clients with knowledge and advice on
the new regulations.
So, the road to compliance may not be an easy one – as with
anything that’s worth doing, it will, undoubtedly, require effort and time. The
results, however, will be massively beneficial – to all relevant companies,
clients and the reputation of the Middle East.
