What the sector needs

People notice a home's acoustics quickly, and the problems are familiar: footsteps above, a television through the wall, a pump humming at night, a road that will not stop. The National Construction Code sets minimums for separating walls and floors; considered design goes further, because the difference between compliant and quiet is what people live with every day.
