Acoustic Services

Acoustics is the scientific study of sound, including its generation, transmission, and effects. In the context of buildings and infrastructure, acoustic design focuses on controlling sound to enhance speech clarity, reduce noise disturbances, and ensure privacy and comfort. This involves analyzing how sound interacts with materials, spaces, and mechanical systems, and applying strategies to manage those effects.

Proper acoustic design is essential across many sectors, including healthcare, education, commercial, and residential buildings. In industrial facilities, managing environmental noise is critical for both worker safety and regulatory compliance.

As building standards and sustainability frameworks evolve, acoustic performance has become a key design requirement. Many green building certification systems, such as LEED and GSAS, include acoustic criteria. Moreover, acoustic studies are now part of environmental approvals and are often mandated in project specifications. 

Why Acoustics?

Mandatory in Modern Projects

Acoustic requirements are now commonly included in project specifications, particularly for residential, commercial, healthcare, and educational developments.

When Should Acoustic Solutions Be Implemented?

During the Design Stage

It’s most effective to involve an acoustic consultant during the Schematic Design (SD) stage. This allows integration of acoustic considerations into architectural wall build-ups, MEP equipment layouts, and routing strategies. Early input minimizes confusion during later stages and avoids procurement constraints post-tender.

During the Construction Stage

We act as a third-party reviewer, evaluating submittals for MEP equipment, architectural finishes, and fittings. Our validation ensures compliance with acoustic goals and helps avoid rework or costly mitigation during implementation.

During Testing & Commissioning

Our team is equipped with state-of-the-art acoustic testing tools to conduct on-site measurements and prepare detailed test reports that align with employer or authority requirements. This includes reverberation tests, noise level checks, and sound insulation validations.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's

Acoustic consultants help ensure comfort, compliance, and quality by managing noise levels, improving speech clarity, and addressing potential sound-related issues early in the design.
The best time is during the early design phase to avoid rework or design conflicts. However, services can also be applied during the construction and testing stages.
Yes. Rating systems like LEED, GSAS, and WELL include credits for acoustic comfort, and studies are often mandatory for certification.
We use calibrated equipment like sound level meters, omnidirectional speakers, tapping machines, and reverberation time analyzers to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Absolutely. We offer diagnostic services, retrofitting advice, and testing to resolve sound insulation, echo, and noise intrusion issues in existing structures.
