Robust Details and Robust Details Ltd: 3 Year Report
Friday, August 08, 2008
Faber Maunsell undertook a review of the Robust Details system at the request of Communities and Local Government. The Robust Details system has been in operation for three years and it was a requirement when the system was established that the review should be undertaken at this time.
The aims and objectives of the review were set out by Communities and Local Government. These aims and objectives were developed by Faber Maunsell to produce a set of targets and criteria for the review.
The general conclusion of the review was that the Robust Details system is meeting its objective of providing a practical alternative to pre-completion testing for demonstration of compliance with Part E of the Building Regulations.
The generally positive industry perception and high market share clearly demonstrate that the building industry has embraced the Robust Details principle. The high performance demonstrated by the Robust Details performance monitoring process shows that the system is able to deliver satisfactory acoustic results.
