Integrated acoustic design to control noise, enhance clarity, and support overall building performance.
Architectural acoustics spans the full spectrum of sound within and around buildings, from external façade performance and control of internal noise levels, to airborne and impact sound insulation between spaces, and reverberation control in key areas.
We apply data-driven analysis, predictive modelling, and material performance evaluation to inform our recommendations and support clear decision-making. Our input is integrated throughout the design process to deliver acoustic performance without compromising architecture.
Our work supports alignment with ISO and ASTM standards, as well as local codes and legislation.
Mitigating external noise impacts to create quieter, more comfortable environments.
We provide comprehensive environmental noise assessments and control strategies to manage noise from traffic, industrial sources, and neighbouring developments.
Using data-driven analysis, site measurements, and predictive modelling, we identify potential noise impacts and develop effective mitigation solutions to ensure compliance with local and regional environmental legislation, including noise emission limits and community standards.
Our approach helps protect building occupants and surrounding communities from unwanted noise intrusion while supporting sustainable development goals.
Controlling noise and vibration from building services to protect occupant comfort and acoustically sensitive spaces.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems can be a major source of unwanted noise and vibration in buildings. We provide clear, practical guidance to control these impacts, from early-stage equipment selection through to isolation detailing and construction support.
Our approach ensures acoustic performance is considered without compromising functionality, helping you meet project requirements and design standards with confidence.
Targeted acoustic advice to help navigate regulatory, commercial, and legal project risks.
We provide early-stage and specialist acoustic consultancy to support critical decisions across the project lifecycle, from feasibility and planning through to handover and dispute resolution.
Whether advising on regulatory submissions, assessing compliance risks, or providing expert input for contracts, claims, or legal proceedings, we help clients make informed, defensible decisions.
Our involvement reduces uncertainty and supports projects in meeting their obligations with clarity and confidence.
Ensuring construction noise control and acoustic quality align with design intent to de-risk your project.
We conduct thorough construction site analysis and audits, including regular site inspections and mid-build acoustic testing, to verify that installed systems and materials meet the original acoustic design intent, as well as monitoring noise and vibration levels if there are concerns regarding noise sensitive areas.
By providing timely advice, we help identify and resolve potential issues early, supporting adherence to local regulations and project-specific limits.
Our proactive approach helps maintain smooth construction progress, ensures acoustic quality, and protects surrounding communities and sensitive receptors.
Accurate on-site testing to verify acoustic performance and identify issues with confidence.
We carry out acoustic testing and measurement at any stage of a project, from technical due diligence before leasing or purchasing, to commissioning assessments and operational fault-finding.
Our services follow relevant ISO and ASTM standards to ensure reliable, repeatable results that stand up to scrutiny. Whether validating compliance, investigating acoustic complaints, or informing design decisions, we provide clear data and expert insight to support confident action.
We can design and implement systems to enhance speech privacy, reduce distractions in work environments and improve employees health and wellbeing.
We design technically robust sound masking and soundscaping systems that improve speech privacy, reduce cognitive fatigue, and minimise acoustic distractions in complex environments.
Our designs are grounded in detailed acoustic analysis, with careful calibration to achieve consistent spectral balance and coverage.
We ensure systems are designed and commissioned to meet project-specific targets and align with acoustic performance standards, including ANSI S12.72, WELL Building Standard, and LEED acoustic criteria.
