“Our approach to acoustic consultancy is to identify and meet our client’s requirements and expectations. We deliver clear design reports and provide imaginativesolutions to the problems we are faced with.

MACH Acoustics works across all construction sectors with a strong leaning towards sustainable buildings. Our experience ranges from Primary Schools to BSF schemes, from large residential schemes through to cinemas and auditoriums.”

“Residential developments offer the challenge of working across large scale and varied projects. Ecohomes brings the signifcant challenge of more onerous requirements over those specifed within Approved Document E. We think that our acoustic consultancy often brings the benefts of value and assurance of compliant designs.

Cost is always key within residential developments and we therefore regularly get involved with value engineering and fnding alternative solutions to the acoustic problems faced by our clients.

Within the residential sector, environmental noise and noise pollution issues can bring signifcant problems. We regularly work on facade design and noise pollution issues.”

“Sustainability is fast becoming one of the core requirements within building design. MACH Acoustics goal is to lead the way in sustainable acoustic design. We spend signifcant time on research and studying methods to overcome the clashes between acoustics and low carbon buildings.”

“Consulting is based around a good understanding of a discipline. Creative thinking and effective communication makes MACH Acoustics unique. MACH Acoustics core skills lie in all three of these areas. We spend a great deal of time understanding our client and project needs. Our consultancy approach is to resolve problems in the most accurate cost effective manner by thinking creatively. Our communication skills result in people understanding our ideas and requirements clearly.”

“Computer simulation and auralization (the audio simulation of a building before it is built) are pushing the frontiers of accurate and creative design. MACH Acoustics has a full range of modelling software including CATT Acoustics (room acoustics software), BASTIAN (sound fanking calculation), CADNA (noise mapping software) INSUL (software to assess the sound insulation across composite structures) and a complete range of test equipment to assess and determine the acoustic performance of a building during designs stages and post its completion.

Auralization provides the opportunity to demonstrate building design in a practical way. This tool allows designers and principally the client, to understand what is and what is not required with respect to the acoustic design of a building.”

“As the center pin of the office my role is to support the team and to ensure the smooth running of the offce.

Managing the finance of all three of our companies: MACH Acoustics, MACH Testing and MACH Products provides for an interesting job.”

“Sound testing, planning (PPG24) and environmental noise (BS4142) along with BREEAM assessments, are all covered by MACH Testing. Working within this feld brings a range of challenging and diverse opportunities.

Site assessments and site support are a signifcant part of our work. We aim to communicate the acoustic design of a building to the guys working on the ground at the construction site. My experience of working on site is regularly communicated back to the MACH team to assist in this process.

We also use our site experiences to provide cost effective workable solutions.”
