We offer comprehensive noise impact assessments and internal design services to support commercial office developments across the UK. Our team understands the critical role that acoustics play in creating productive and comfortable office environments.
Noise Impact Assessments
Local authorities often require a detailed noise impact assessment at Planning stage to evaluate potential noise impacts on nearby receptors. We can help by conducting a thorough baseline noise survey to understand the existing noise climate, predicting future noise levels from the proposed development, and accurately assessing potential impacts. We can then advise on any necessary mitigation strategies to minimise impacts. Our reports are designed to be meet local planning authority standards, ensuring a smoother approval process for your development.
Internal Acoustic Design
Internal acoustic conditions are critical to maximising the functionality and comfort of any office space. We specialise in designing internal sound environments that promote productivity, communication, and well-being.
We provide tailored solutions that address sound insulation, speech privacy, and speech intelligibility within the office environment, ensuring a balance between quiet working areas and collaborative spaces. Our designs consider materials, layouts, and soundproofing measures to enhance acoustics and minimise distractions, helping you create an optimal working environment for employees.
From concept to completion, JPM Acoustics is your trusted partner, providing the expertise needed to navigate planning regulations and deliver a well-designed acoustic environment for new office developments. Let us help you build spaces that are not only compliant but also acoustically superior.
The rapid growth of the budget supermarket has meant more sites are being developed in urban areas. This often means introducing noise from cooling / ventilation plant, and deliveries, to populated areas, often overlooked by residential properties.
We work closely with retail developers, operators and Local Authorities to support planning applications for new retail stores, or variation of condition applications to support extended trading or delivery hours for existing stores.
We're able to draw on a wealth of experience gained from sites across the UK to ensure a positive outcome with effective, efficient acoustic mitigation measures built-in if necessary.
JPM Acoustics offers expert noise impact assessments and acoustic design services tailored to retail developments, ensuring compliance and optimized sound environments for both shoppers and staff.

JPM Acoustics provides comprehensive acoustic consultancy services to help commercial developers demonstrate compliance with BREEAM Credits Hea 05 (Acoustic Performance) and Pol 05 (Noise Pollution). We have experience working on projects at both the Shell & Core development stage and full fit-out.
BREEAM Hea 05 (Acoustic Performance)
We assist developers in achieving the Hea 05 credit by designing acoustically optimised spaces that meet the required standards for sound insulation, reverberation control, and ambient noise levels. Our team provides tailored acoustic solutions to create comfortable and high-performing environments for occupants, contributing to the overall well-being and sustainability of the building.
BREEAM Pol 05 (Noise Pollution)
For the Pol 05 credit, we conduct detailed noise impact assessments to control noise emissions to ensure compliance with the Pol 05 criteria. Where necessary we're able to provide a detailed specification for effective mitigation measures to control noise emissions.
Our team is accredited to carry out all necessary pre-completion acoustic testing, ensuring that your development complies with BREEAM criteria before final sign-off.
