Acoustics



that



scales.

If you're looking for help with your next acoustics, noise, vibration, or audio solution,


you're in the right place.


With over a decade of experience solving and designing sound solutions across a huge range of scenarios projects.

We're ready to tailor our services exactly for you - no matter the size of your project.

Whether your team is:

  • an architect or engineer contracting design services professionals on a new project,
  • an owner or developer focused on soundproofing, making your property purpose-built for sound, or thoughtfully reducing construction costs,
  • seeking legal advice on an environmental noise regulation framework,

(or anyone else, for that matter!), let's get in touch.

Consulting Approach

Our consulting approach speaks directly to the velocity, flexibility, and demands of the modern design and construction industry. When we talk about  "acoustics that scales", we're not talking about musical notes. We don't just "do a noise study" with a laundry list of recommendations, we integrate with your practice to build the building that you want to build.


We collaborate to:

  • Educate your team - why is this the recommended approach, and what are the alternative and outcomes?
  • Build with your designers - integrate acoustic solutions directly into in-house standards, details, and specifications
  • Iterate with your engineers - develop systems and tools for your team to get real-time feedback  through  constraints
  • Standardize with your clients - build internal specifications and client- and owner-facing basis of design for consistency
  • Understand costs - our focus on cost estimation allows for "return on investment" analysis with every acoustic solution


Don't just build your next project as a "one off", let's get in touch, and let's get collaborating.

What we're about.

In music, the clef is the important symbol that defines the notes that follow. Literally, it is the key that takes a mess of dots and lines and turns it into a music on a page.


At Clefbuild, it's our passion to do just the same. Our reason for being is to give you a key to the "noise" of competing advice, advertisements, and complex regulations (to name just a few), empowering you to build something great.

Clefbuild is located in Somerville, Massachusetts, and is proud to offer professional services consulting services in the New England region and beyond. We work with property owners, architects, engineers, legal professionals, and real estate developers across the country and internationally.


Our acoustical consulting services are Board Certified by the Institute of Noise Control Engineering (less than 100 certified individual consultants in the United States), Professional Engineering (PE) licensure, and is backed by over a decade of successful applied project experience.
