Professional services for planning, design and construction
ARM Acoustics is an independent acoustic consultancy established in 2007, providing professional acoustics, noise and vibration services in London and throughout the UK. We support residential, commercial and industrial developments, as well as transport and infrastructure schemes.
Working with developers, architects, planning consultants and contractors, our acoustic consultants provide accurate, robust assessments and practical design solutions throughout the planning, design and construction process. Our focus is on helping clients manage risk, achieve compliance and successfully deliver their projects.
ARM Acoustics is a Member of the Institute of Acoustics and the Association of Noise Consultants , and is verified by RISQS and Constructionline, with SSIP health and safety certification.
We provide a full range of acoustic consultancy services across the life cycle of a project — from early planning advice and noise surveys, through detailed design and construction support, to completion testing and commissioning.
Whether you are seeking planning consent, discharging conditions, designing buildings that protect health, promote wellbeing, comfort and function or managing construction impacts, our acoustic consultants can support your project with clear, proportionate and robust advice.
Noise impact assessments play a critical role in securing planning permission and discharging planning conditions. We provide expert planning noise assessments aligned with local planning authority requirements and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
Our services include environmental noise surveys, assessment of existing and proposed noise sources, and the preparation of clear, comprehensive reports to support planning applications. We regularly advise on residential, commercial and industrial developments, as well as transport and infrastructure projects.
Construction and demolition works can generate significant noise and vibration impacts if not properly managed. Our acoustic engineers prepare construction noise and vibration assessments, construction noise management plans, and Section 61 (CoPA) applications, applying Best Practicable Means (BPM) to minimise risk and disruption.
We also provide real-time construction monitoring for noise, vibration, air quality and dust, helping clients demonstrate compliance and proactively manage impacts on surrounding communities and sensitive receptors.
We provide integrated building acoustics and sound insulation design for residential, commercial, industrial and educational buildings. Working closely with developers, architects and multi-disciplinary design teams, we help deliver buildings that protect health, promote wellbeing, and provide appropriate acoustic conditions for their intended use.
Our services cover planning support, detailed acoustic design, testing and commissioning.
Our environmental monitoring services include noise, vibration, air quality and dust monitoring for planning, construction and operational phases.
We design monitoring regimes tailored to the specific requirements of each project, using the latest equipment and real-time systems with alerts. This provides reliable data to support assessments, demonstrate compliance and enable proactive management of environmental impacts.
As independent acoustic consultants, we provide honest, data-driven advice grounded in practical site experience. We work collaboratively with clients and design teams to deliver compliant, proportionate and cost-effective acoustic solutions.
