Building

To build an edifice is the perfect teamwork exercise. Its success depends on the capacity of every specialist to work in close cooperation with other participants, while harmonizing objectives which often seem contradictory, at first sight.

As a partner, we work hand in hand with the contracting authority, the architects and study offices, the works companies and the material manufacturers.

Concert hall, open space offices, swimming pool …whatever the problem, we have the appropriate solution.

At a more strategic level, we advise public authorities on environmental policy. We are also accredited as independent experts in case of litigation.

Architects – master of works

When answering to architecture public calls for proposals, architects involve us in their team to deliver – yet at an early stage – a performing preliminary draft , taking into account all acoustic aspects. We significantly contribute to the appreciation of the file through our demonstrated experience, the expertise of our team, our technical capacities as well as our reference list.

At the preliminary draft, we put into action unique technical means in order to validate the acoustic dimension of the major architectural options adopted: the modelling softwares developed by A-Tech.

During the works, we ensure a close follow-up of the execution until the building final achievement. Our qualified staff makes all necessary controls and acoustic performance measurement by the means of leading edge noise measuring equipment, accredited at both national and European level.

Lastly, as accredited independent experts, we execute measurement surveys for architects in the scope of legal procedures.

Building contractors

Building contractors’s major concern is to implement the building requirements in the best financial conditions. We assist them in this process by advising them on products and works design.

To do so, we make use of our modelling softwares as well as our mastery of materials.

Lastly, as accredited independent experts, we execute measurement surveys for works companies in the scope of legal procedures.

Manufacturers

Partitions, ceilings, doors, windows…must match specific acoustic performance criteria. We provide manufacturers with all the necessary technical indications so as to face these performance requirements.

Our advised designs are always validated by the means of performance modelling made via our softwares.

Lastly, as accredited independent experts, we execute measurement surveys for manufacturers in the scope of legal procedures.

Real estate investors, property developers… – contracting authorities and final users

Noisy environment, building renovation, structural modifications…every situation requires an ad hoc analysis, through which we advise the contracting authorities on what to do in order to match their expectations.

Lastly, as accredited independent experts, we execute measurement surveys for contracting authorities in the scope of legal procedures.

Public authorities in charge of the Environment

Knowledgeable decision making starts with the sound understanding of issues. In this purpose, we help the public authorities to understand and to “visualize” the acoustic environment of a given situation: urban districts, towns, industrial districts, combined situations (e.g. train station/industry/housing area…).

We model various hypothesis of evolution for the environment, and we help political decision-makers to choose for the best environment strategy, taking into consideration technical as well as economical impacts.
