it’s not just compliance, it’s good design

Acoustic requirements translated into clear, project-specific advice that can be understood, coordinated and built. Harmonic helps projects secure consent, achieve the intended performance and protect people from unreasonable noise without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.

Acoustics considered early, when layouts, constructions and services can still be influenced. Early advice usually offers more effective solutions and reduces the risk of costly changes at completion.

Measure carefully, assess transparently and explain the conclusions in plain language. Reports and recommendations are prepared so planning officers, building control, design teams and contractors can understand the issue, see the reasoning and know what to do next.
