Who this webinar is for

For teams who have already specified acoustics on projects - or are about to. Your projects may already qualify for Sownd Certification.

Architects

You're already specifying acoustic performance. Learn how to get that work certified and recognised.

Acoustic consultants

See where Sownd Certification fits your existing workflow and adds credibility to your specifications.

Material suppliers

Position your products inside a certifying standard that clients increasingly ask for.

What you get from the webinar

Practical, immediately useful. Not a sales pitch.

Access to the framework

Leave with a clear understanding of the Sownd Certification framework - the criteria, the scoring, and how it applies to real projects.

Cost-benefit analysis

Understand the business case. We break down the cost of certification against the value it creates for your practice and your clients.

Resources to share with clients

Walk away with ready-to-use materials - explanations, talking points, and evidence - to make the case for Audio Inclusive design with your clients.

Recognition for your work

Learn how your practice earns visible, verifiable recognition for delivering Audio Inclusive projects - and what that means for winning new work.

Your projects probably already qualify.

If you've specified acoustic performance on recent projects, certifying them is the easiest route to recognition.

Certify work you've already done

Apply with your existing acoustic report and go straight to Bronze.

Get recognised for inclusivity

A public mark that says your space works for everyone.

Win more awards and more work

An independently verified credential to put on tenders and case studies.
