Acoustic design has a direct impact on how buildings are experienced, regulated, and ultimately approved. At DDEG, our acoustic consultant services are led by an award-winning team that understands both technical compliance and real-world usability.
We provide strategic advice and detailed analysis that supports informed design decisions from concept through to construction.
We provide customised acoustic solutions for all building types, from small residential builds to large-scale commercial projects, ensuring compliance and optimised acoustic environments.
Our services include site assessments, compliance with building regulations, speech privacy, sound insulation, reverberation control and noise management.
We assist with council acoustic requirements for planning permits, including indoor noise assessments, acoustic fencing design, and compliance with Environment Protection Regulations.
Our services also address aircraft noise, live music entertainment and relevant planning overlays to ensure that all regulatory standards are met.
We specialise in managing noise and vibration in industrial settings, conducting factory surveys, employee noise dosimetry, and identifying noise sources.
We help you comply with work safety standards through tailored noise control measures, staff training and machine condition monitoring.
Our comprehensive environmental noise assessments measure existing levels and predict future impacts across various sectors, including hospitality, commercial, industrial, residential, energy and transport sectors.
We offer noise contour maps, construction noise management plans, community consultation and expert reports for planning and policy compliance.
We deliver noise control solutions for road, rail, shipping, and air transport projects, focusing on noise level predictions, barrier optimisation and vibration control.
Our team works to ensure regulatory compliance and community impact mitigation.
Our vibration control expertise spans equipment isolation, vibration-sensitive facility design, and structural noise management.
We offer comprehensive services, including vibration monitoring, prediction assessments and control measures for road, rail and construction environments.
Effective noise control creates the best sound environment for varied spaces so people can live, work and relax safely and comfortably.
Our solutions help you achieve your acoustic objectives while meeting or exceeding all safety and compliance requirements.
Proper noise control improves relationships with the local community, fostering harmonious neighbourhoods.
Acoustically optimised spaces are more attractive to buyers and tenants, improving the property’s long-term value.

An acoustic consultant assesses, designs and advises on noise and vibration control in buildings and the environment, ensuring spaces are comfortable, safe and compliant.
Acoustic engineering uses advanced modelling, measurement and technical expertise to deliver tailored solutions that go beyond basic noise control, addressing complex challenges in design, construction and operation.
Performance-based acoustic solutions use technical analysis and acoustic engineering principles to achieve compliance when standard noise or vibration criteria cannot be met. Our acoustic consultants design and justify alternative approaches that deliver optimal sound environments and meet regulatory requirements through alternative pathways.
Engage early, ideally at the concept or schematic design stage, to avoid costly redesigns and ensure that acoustic performance is built in from the start.
Yes, we provide practical advice and solutions for refurbishments, retrofits and upgrades to meet current acoustic requirements.
Absolutely. Our team specialises in performance solutions for projects where standard approaches can’t deliver the required outcomes.
Yes. Our team includes accredited acoustic consultants and engineers with deep experience across Australia.
We provide acoustic engineering solutions across most sectors Australia-wide, including:
We typically need your architectural drawings, a project brief, and any known compliance challenges. Our team will guide you through the process.
