No it was done with everybodys knowledge, the complex had a fire order slapped on it so everything has to be upgraded to today’s standards, I have sent the information I found onto the company handling the building body corp affairs, and they say they have forwarded it to the company doing the work for comment, I will let it got for a few more weeks and then it is of to Fair Trading, but I will let them know I do intend to start proceedings, I have told them that I will be doing so if it is not fixed. 
I found a site that mentions door seals that are fire rated for about an hour which I mentioned in my email also saying that the company should already know this. 
on reflection I wonder if the Body Corp decided against sound proofing to save costs or just did not think of it as the old dorrs did not have it, I was going to complain some time ago but waited for ther new doors thinking wrongly that there would be an improvement.
