Audio & Visual Design
It all starts here. We work with you to create a plan and understand your requirements for the space or spaces.
A comprehensive estimate and plan is created. Our team will then work thru it with you so you understand what we are delivering, to ensure the spec meets the requirements.
This is the most crucial step in the project, so if required we may have 3-4 versions until you get to the point that it works based on the spec and your budget.
Then the hard work commences, the installation.

Acoustic treatments – remove the echo
Acoustic treatments are important to “tune” the room and remove sound-bounce, boomy bass or reverb.
Acoustic treatments make all the difference between a room sounding ‘good’ and it sounding ‘amazing’. Using absorptive and diffusive materials and specialised bass products, acoustic treatments reduce undesirable resonances, such as overly boomy bass, and minimise reverberation.
Our team can work with you and the room to design a basic or integrated acoustic treatment plan.
