Working across the UK and internationally, we combine deep technical expertise with practical project experience to guide developments from concept through to completion.
Our theatre consultancy services support the creation of inspiring, flexible and technically outstanding performance spaces. We advise on every aspect of theatre design, including auditorium planning, sightlines, stage engineering, technical systems, lighting, sound, acoustics integration and front-of-house facilities. Working closely with architects, design teams and end users, we ensure each venue balances artistic ambition with operational practicality, safety and long-term sustainability. From new-build performing arts centres to refurbishments and upgrades, we help deliver theatres that engage audiences, empower performers and stand the test of time.
Our studio consultancy services support the design and delivery of high-performance production environments across film, television, virtual production, music and digital content creation. We advise on studio planning, technical infrastructure, workflows, acoustics, lighting integration and future-proofing strategies to ensure each facility operates efficiently and adapts to evolving technologies. Whether developing large-scale film and TV studios, virtual production stages, broadcast facilities or recording studios, we work collaboratively with clients, architects and technical teams to create spaces that maximise creative potential while meeting the highest professional standards.
Our audio visual consultancy services focus on creating integrated, intuitive and future-ready technology solutions that enhance communication, learning and collaboration. We provide independent advice on AV strategy, system design, equipment specification and integration across corporate workplaces, education environments, performance venues and specialist facilities. From immersive presentation spaces and hybrid meeting environments to campus-wide AV infrastructure, we ensure systems are robust, scalable and simple to operate. Working alongside design and construction teams, we deliver solutions that are technically rigorous, user-focused and aligned with each client’s operational goals.
Our acoustics consultancy services ensure that every space sounds as good as it looks. We provide specialist advice on room acoustics, sound insulation, environmental noise control and vibration mitigation across performance venues, studios, workplaces and education facilities. Combining detailed analysis and 3D modelling with practical design solutions, we help create environments that support clarity, comfort and creative expression while meeting any regulatory requirements. From early-stage feasibility through to testing and commissioning, we work closely with project teams to deliver acoustically refined spaces that perform to the highest standards.
