Integrating acoustics design into construction

Every project presents unique challenges. Our acoustic consultants carry out early-stage noise and vibration surveys and sound assessments to assess how sound will affect occupants and surrounding areas, supporting planning, design and construction stages.

Using advanced acoustic modelling and mapping, we predict how noise and vibration will behave across buildings, developments and wider outdoor environments. This includes detailed noise impact assessments and vibration assessments that enable us to identify risks, develop mitigation strategies, and design spaces that perform to our clients and regulatory requirements.

We work closely with architects, developers and contractors to embed acoustic design performance into the process, advising on site layout, materials and construction details to achieve the right balance of comfort, compliance and buildability. Our team also provides on-site acoustic testing to verify design intent and demonstrate compliance where required.

Balancing technical performance with commercial value

Effective acoustic design solutions combine technical precision with practical delivery. Our team provides clear, evidence-based advice that helps clients make informed decisions at every stage, from planning approvals and contractor guidance to building management and refurbishment.

We produce straightforward acoustic reports that explain findings in clear terms and outline achievable next steps, helping our clients projects progress smoothly and meet regulatory standards.

Whether improving office acoustics, managing environmental acoustics in schools and entertainment venues, or resolving issues in existing buildings, we focus on outcomes that add value, enhance wellbeing and protect long-term performance.
