Construction & Planning Noise Assessments

Residential Design and Compliance Testing

We provide fully accredited Sound Insulation Testing under the SITMA Scheme to demonstrate your development meets the acoustic performance requirements of Approved Document E (England and Wales), Technical Handbook Section 5 (Scotland) and Technical Booklet G (Northern Ireland) of the Building Regulations.

Ahead of any testing, our team can undertake reviews of the proposed design details and assess the expected acoustic performance against the minimum performance standards of the building regulations.

Construction Noise & Vibration Monitoring

We help clients manage construction-phase impacts through proactive monitoring, risk assessment and mitigation planning. Our consultants work alongside contractors and local authorities to agree action levels and methodologies that satisfy planning conditions and protect nearby receptors.
 

Our services include:

 
• Baseline and attended monitoring
• Long-term unattended surveys
• Vibration risk assessments for buildings and infrastructure
• Monitoring methodology development and regulator liaison
• Integration with wider CEMP documentation
• Complaint investigation and stakeholder reporting

We apply BS 5228:2009+A1:2014 for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites, and tailor our approach to site-specific sensitivities, construction methods and programme constraints.

Soundscape Assessments & Auralisations

Creating high-quality living environments requires more than just visual design—it demands a thoughtful approach to sound. Our soundscape assessments and auralisation services help developers and design teams understand how sound will interact with new spaces.
 

Applications include:

 
• Residential masterplans and mixed-use developments
• Green spaces and public realm design
• Transport infrastructure and urban corridors
• Wind farms and energy projects
• Public consultations and stakeholder engagement

We simulate future sound environments using immersive 3D technology—helping clients demonstrate mitigation effectiveness, support planning approvals and enhance community buy-in.
