Process

How we work.

Five stages, in order. Honest about how long each one takes. The order matters: skip the acoustic design and the room never sounds right; skip the discovery conversation and the brief never quite fits.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    1–2 weeks

    A site visit, a conversation about how the room will be used, and a frank conversation about budget. We don't promise rooms we can't deliver, and we won't quote a number we can't defend.

  2. 02

    Design

    4–8 weeks

    Acoustic plan first. Equipment specification second. Costed scheme third. We design rooms; the equipment is what the room asks for, not the other way round.

  3. 03

    Build

    8–24 weeks

    Wet trades, cabling, AV install, integration with lighting and control. We coordinate the trades that touch the room and accept responsibility for what gets handed over.

  4. 04

    Calibration

    1–2 weeks

    Acoustic calibration, screen and projector alignment, final commissioning. This is the hand-finishing — the moment the room sounds and looks right. Done in-house, never outsourced.

  5. 05

    Aftercare

    Ongoing

    The long tail of looking after the room, year on year. Annual calibration check, firmware updates, content-library housekeeping, and the relationship that means you call us first when something changes.

To see where this way of working ends up, look at the recent rooms. For the questions most people ask before enquiring — cost, timescales, where we work — the FAQ page gives straight answers.
