Criteria
The Applicant shall submit documentation to prove that noise from the
work activities was minimised and/or rescheduled to avoid nuisance
to host building users and neighbouring occupants.
Documentation
Credit shall be achieved when the Applicant provides the
documentation stated below, to demonstrate criteria compliance:
i.
List Responsible person
ii.
Overall plan listing all nuisance Measures to minimise the
noise nuisance to the immediate neighbourhood during
construction and fit-out activities;
iii.
Building Management Office (BMO) declaration letter No
written compliant received;
B
ACKGROUND
In many instances the interior fit-out works will take place when other
areas of th
e host building ,or the premises, are occupied. BEAM
seeks to reduce the nuisance from construction activities associated
with fit-out, particularly noise and vibration that can affect neighbours
and other building users.
Where the work takes place in circumstances when other parts of the
building are normally occupied, noise and vibration transmitted via the
building structure shall be avoided between 09.00 and 18.00 (or other
hours indicated in the host building fitting out guide).
Where the noise generated does not involve demotion, drilling, cutting
chases, scrabbling, coring, or channelling but transmitted as airborne
noise then steps shall be taken to mitigate those impacts.
