Replacing an apartment's floors is one of the most effective upgrades, and also one of the noisiest. Buildings protect the neighbours below with acoustic rules and working hours, so the specification and the schedule are agreed with them first.

Many buildings require an acoustic underlay with a stated performance under any new hard flooring, and some ask to see the product data before approving. Choosing a compliant underlay at the start avoids having to lift a new floor.
Breaking out old tiles is very loud and is usually limited to set hours on weekdays. Old flooring leaves through the service lift in bags at booked times, and new boxes or tiles arrive the same way. A contractor familiar with apartment work plans removal, preparation and laying around these windows.
Laying SPC or engineered wood over existing sound tiles avoids most of the noise and dust of breakout. If the existing tiles are hollow, cracked or uneven, they have to come up. The contractor should check with a tap test before recommending either route.
