Some of our work

Examples of our sector specific experience

Project Nova

Brought into the project at the tender stage by Mace, we were asked to do an acoustic audit of the RIBA Stage 3 design to identify any risks or opportunities for the contractor. Once Mace had been appointed, we were employed as acoustic consultants to keep watch over Stage 4 Technical Design, Stage 5 Construction, and Stage 6 Completion.

Adnitt mastered the complex acoustic requirements for this education building which contained a very diverse and not acoustically complementary range of uses.

Sir Robert McAlpine

I have been very impressed with the friendly, professional service received throughout… and have recommended Adnitt Acoustics to other Contractors in Orkney to hopefully spread the word about them.  I have no doubt that when any of our jobs require this service Adnitt will be at the top of the list.

Andrew Sinclair Real Estate

The greatest compliment that I can express to the acousticians on this project is that this multi-function arts venue worked straight out of the box on Day One.  Whilst accepting that there were many contributors to the successful end result, Hunter Acoustic’s and Adnitt Acoustics' care and detailing throughout the design process was a real contributor to the problem-free commissioning of this theatre.  During system tuning, a small orchestra and singers tested the room acoustics and the ACS variable acoustics system.  This was a pleasurable experience because the engineers were able to concentrate on the optimum setting up of the system without spending time compensating for faults. The dynamic of the sound experience for both the performers on the stage as well as the listeners in the auditorium was evident from the compliments given afterwards.
