Our Services
Who We Are
Your Trusted Acoustics Professionals
With more than 250 years of collective experience, our acoustical engineers and scientists bring extensive expertise across industries and environments. Supported by specialized instrumentation, computing facilities, and technical tools, we deliver world-class sound and vibration monitoring, diagnostics, predictions, and assessments in accordance with recognized standards and guidelines.
Core Service Areas
From building design to environmental assessment and measurement, our core services provide effective, cost-efficient solutions across sectors.
What we do
- Shape how sound behaves within buildings
- Work with owners, architects, and builders
- Support speech clarity, privacy, and acoustical comfort
- Design acoustics for everyday and performance-driven spaces
Why is Matters
Acoustics influence how people experience a space every day. Decisions made early in design can prevent costly fixes, complaints, and compromised functionality after construction.
Typical Applications
Office, residential, healthcare, education, research, cultural, justice, sports and recreation, airport, civic, community, and mixed-use developments.
What we do
- Assess project construction and operational noise and vibration impacts
- Support regulatory approvals and environmental permitting
- Develop practical, context-specific mitigation strategies
Why It Matters
Noise and vibration can be key approval constraints. Clear, defensible assessments help projects move forward while addressing regulatory requirements and community and stakeholder concerns.
Typical Applications
Roads, railways, airports, aircraft, ships, utilities, energy, industrial, mining, ports, infrastructure, entertainment, leisure activities, and commercial developments.
What we do
- Measure footfall noise, sound leakage, reverberation time, and more
- Support compliance, diagnostics, and performance verification
- Provide clear data to inform design and mitigation
Why It Matters
Accurate measurements turn uncertainty into actionable information—helping identify problems, resolve complaints, confirm compliance, and validate that acoustics solutions perform as intended.
Typical Applications
Compliance monitoring, construction monitoring, diagnostics, certification, performance verification, environmental assessments, occupational assessments, and investigation of noise and vibration concerns.

How We Work
Every project is different, but the way we think about them stays consistent: understand the challenge, get involved early, and stay with it through to the end. Here’s how we approach our work.
We take time to understand your goals, constraints, and concerns before recommending a path forward.
Early input makes acoustics easier to integrate and helps avoid unnecessary redesign later.
We shape our recommendations around coordination, budgets, building systems, regulations, and constructability.
As plans develop, we coordinate with your team and adapt our recommendations as conditions change.
From design through construction, we’re available to answer questions and help resolve issues as they arise.

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide acoustical consulting across a diverse range of sectors, including commercial, residential and mixed-use, education, healthcare, civic and community, industrial and energy, transportation, water, and more. Our broad experience allows us to apply practical acoustical solutions to complex project requirements.
Acoustical consultants help identify, assess, and manage sound and vibration issues in buildings, communities, and the environment. We provide practical guidance throughout the project lifecycle, from planning and design through permitting, construction, and operations.
Building acoustics focuses on how sound behaves within a building. Our consultants help address sound isolation, room acoustics, mechanical noise, speech intelligibility, vibration isolation, and other factors that influence acoustical comfort and performance.
Environmental noise assessments can help identify potential impacts from transportation, industrial activity, mechanical equipment, construction, or other sources. We provide noise assessments and practical recommendations to support planning, permitting, regulatory compliance, and community considerations.
Yes. We provide acoustical assessments and recommendations to support permitting and regulatory requirements. Bringing an acoustical consultant into the process early can help identify potential issues, reduce project risk, and avoid costly changes later in design or construction.
The earlier the better. Involving an acoustical consultant during planning and schematic design allows acoustics considerations to be incorporated alongside architectural, environmental, mechanical, and structural decisions—helping reduce costly changes and supporting better project outcomes.
Yes. We provide standardized testing and measurement services to evaluate acoustical performance and verify whether spaces and systems are performing as intended. Testing can help identify issues, inform corrective measures, and provide objective documentation for project teams and stakeholders.
Yes. Collaboration is central to our approach. We work alongside architects, builders, commercial and industrial business owners, developers, engineers, governments, and other project stakeholders to integrate acoustical considerations into the broader design and construction process.
Yes. We can investigate existing noise and vibration concerns, identify potential sources and contributing factors, and recommend practical solutions. Our assessment can help determine the cause of a problem and identify appropriate next steps.
We are proudly Vancouver-based and provide acoustical consulting services throughout Western Canada and beyond. Our experience spans projects in a wide range of communities, environments, and industries.
