ASD® works with clients to achieve a true focus space that encourages privacy and workplace comfort.

These technologies allow your employees to be notified, focus more in an open environment, receive direction on what to do during an emergency, and even relax and enjoy some music. When budgeting for your building's sound coverage, there are a variety of systems that can do part or all of these functions.

Helping You Focus with Sound Masking Solutions

In most office environments today, the space is designed to be open with collaboration in mind. It looks great and all…but these officeless cubelands with high ceilings create unique challenges when it comes to how sound travels. This means unwanted noise and chatter!

At ASD® we work with clients to achieve a true focus space that encourages privacy and workplace comfort. We’re talking about sound masking, also known as white noise, that can help achieve the desired results for privacy and noise cancellation. As every space is unique and the desired results are different for each client, ASD® is able to help guide our clients to the right product for your facility’s individual needs.

Learn about sound masking, how it works, and how it can improve productivity.

Helping You Communicate with Mass Notification Systems

Sound masking, paging and mass notification systems are being used in many commercial environments today. Planning to get the word out should start at the beginning of space planning. A proper paging and mass notification system not only spreads the news but also saves lives.

We have experience with:

  • Standard Office Environments
  • Corporate Campuses
  • Large Manufacturing & Distribution Centers
  • Educational Campuses
  • And More

Common Cost Factors for Most Projects

geographic location icon
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

Where is the project located? Some parts of the country are more expensive than others. Some rural areas may require travel due to availability of the field resources which could increase cost.

size and type of environment icon
SIZE & TYPE ENVIRONMENT

Type of environment will impact price. Class A Office, Distribution Center, Manufacturing, Retail, Indoor vs. Outdoor could all impact overall cost.

labor requirements icon
LABOR REQUIREMENTS

Projects being installed with a Union Labor requirement will be more expensive than projects without the requirement. Some projects require a prevailing wage to be paid to a technician which can also increase costs.

permitting icon
PERMITTING

Permitting varies from state to state and city to city. One city may not require anything more than an application form to receive a permit, while others may want full engineered drawings that go through a plan review process. The full set of engineered drawings carries a substantial price tag that elevates the overall system cost. Another consideration is the time required if the review process is a requirement.

NEW CONSTRUCTION VS RENOVATION
NEW CONSTRUCTION VS RENOVATION

New construction will typically be less expensive than renovation.

local codes and standards icon
LOCAL CODES & STANDARDS

Local codes can drive cost as they vary in requirement. For instance, in some locations across the U.S. all overhead cable must run in conduit while others can be supported with J-Hooks in the ceiling.

local codes and standards icon
INFRASTRUCTURE

Pathways can contribute greatly to overall system costs. Costs of core holes sizing and cutting slab for conduits needs to be considered in your budgeting process.

economies of scale icon
ECONOMIES OF SCALE

What type of structure is being built? A system in a manufacturing plant is developed completely different than a high rise office building. An apartment complex can reuse the same templates for each building; this saves design time and costs.

installation hours icon
INSTALLATION HOURS

Normal working hours will be less expensive than after hours or weekends.
