I Want To Design For Good
Acoustics, Noise & Vibration Control

Design Solutions for Noise, Vibration & Acoustic Challenges

Our clients value our ability to engineer design solutions for Noise, Vibration & Acoustic challenges that neither over-exceed nor under-exceed approval requirements and acoustical objectives. Unfortunately, there are non-acoustically focused consultants in the industry today who, through inexperience or uncertainty, have over or under engineered their noise, vibration or acoustical design recommendations. The results? Regulator, community or occupant complaints and unnecessary project cost and time over-runs.

We pride ourselves in our ability to design and value engineer exactly what is required. No more. No less. We design acoustical, vibration and noise abatement solutions that get the job done fast and cost-effectively while still meeting both budget and compliance requirements – all without compromising performance. In addition, we maintain an open dialogue and good working relationships with regulators in many jurisdictions so there are no unforeseen approval surprises or unexpected delays.
