Acoustech Consulting is a South African-based consulting company that specializes in architectural acoustics and environmental noise prediction and control. Keeping up to date with new technologies and products and systems available on the local and international market, we work closely with architects, engineers, building owners, developers, and facilities directors to provide the most appropriate solutions for the specific project’s acoustic requirements. We try to get involved in projects as early as possible because a small upfront investment will almost always save you a lot more in the long run. Our reviews and proposed solutions often involve important input for consideration by the structural, mechanical, and electrical consultants, quantity surveyors, and of course the architects for built environment projects. If our involvement begins after the project is completed, we can, through detailed analysis and diagnostics, provide the most appropriate remedial solutions to bring existing sound or noise problems into check.

ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS

Equipped with an inventory of fully compliant, SANAS calibrated equipment and industry-standard room modeling software, our growing portfolio and experience in building projects allow us to take on any size project. From architectural and mechanical system design reviews, complete building acoustics design and specification through to in-situ testing, we will provide the best advice and designs having considered all options, and, most importantly – guarantee the results! We also offer turnkey solutions for projects with critical acoustic requirements such as film, television, radio, and music studios.
