Last year was a particularly challenging year for the residential construction industry. By all accounts, this year doesn’t look any better. We are in for tough times.

Kress and Maskell take us through how the rating is calculated, what impacts the actual performance in your project and what you need to tell clients who think your floor can be made absolutely silent.
