Has the requirement for acoustic commissioning testing / validation been defined?

Have interfaces with Audio Visual and other specialist interfaces been defined by the acoustic design?

Have responsibilities during construction & close-out been defined?

3) Common risk triggers

Value engineering / scope reductions are already happening Programme pressure is reducing coordination time Multiple parties are making acoustic decisions Layouts / room uses / systems are still changing No acoustic specialist is currently involved
