What we do
We provide solutions! As consultants, our strength is in our solutions and the ability to implement them. We don’t just issue reports, we are also involved during construction. Our goal is to provide the most cost effective solution to your project. Many common noise issues can be avoided with simply space planning. We often review preliminary layouts during concept/schematic phases offering space planning and line marking to avoid issues later in design. During the design phases we will provide engineered acoustic and noise control solutions, assist in reviewing material selections and aiding in the Value engineering process. Most solutions can be solved with typical building materials. As such, our first efforts are to reduce cost and maintain acoustic performance with the use of non-proprietary materials. When needed we will call for and specific a material based on performance and cost.
Green Building and Sustainability
While we may aim to pursue sustainable design or green building compliance strategies on all of our projects, certification and compliance may not always be appropriate. Often times, implementing criteria from LEED or other ratings systems can be included in design without the intent of certification. Alternatively, these strategies can be implemented as a basis of good design practice. At JCK Acoustics Group, we are fully versed with many of the successful international rating programs such as LEED, WELL, Green Star, Green Globe, BREEAM, China 3 Star, GRIHA and others. We make every effort to include these design standards in our acoustic and noise control design when possible. We review material submittals for compliance and generate specifications to include green products
