Project management consultancy

A specialist package fails on coordination more often than on specification. Project management is someone holding those threads on your behalf.

Also in consultancy

AV Acoustics has worked as a technical consultancy in Northern India for many years, and has steadily widened what it takes on. On projects we do not build ourselves, we manage the specialist packages: the acoustic construction, the systems, and the points where they meet the main contract.

What the role covers

  • Reviewing and tightening the specification before it goes out.
  • Assessing tender returns on what they actually offer, not only on price.
  • Programme and sequencing, so acoustic work is not undone by following trades.
  • Coordination with structure, services and interiors — where most failures originate.
  • Inspection at the stages that matter, including before things are closed up.
  • Commissioning, measurement and handover documentation.

Why it pays for itself

The expensive failures in this field are discovered at the end: a partition stopped at the ceiling, a duct without an attenuator, a floated floor bridged by a pipe. Each is cheap to prevent and costly to correct.
