Fully Integrated Acoustic Solutions
Every space has unique acoustic characteristics, and when not properly engineered, the results are reflected through lost productivity, operational inefficiency, and discomfort. Whether it’s an excessively loud data center, community noise complaints, a worship center where speech becomes muddled, or a production line exceeding OSHA noise limits, successful results require a multi-pronged approach.
Memtech offers full design & install services to eliminate the disconnect between consulting, materials, and installation. We provide a fully integrated workflow that combines acoustic analysis, engineered design, material procurement, and coordinated installation under one accountable team.

DESIGN-BUILD
Why Acoustic Design-Build Delivers Better Outcomes
Fewer handoffs. Greater accountability. Proven results.
Traditional acoustic consulting often ends with drawings and recommendations, leaving clients to coordinate multiple vendors. Our approach closes that gap, carrying one engineering team from specification through installation.
By uniting engineering, product specification, and installation oversight, we streamline delivery, reduce the cost of change orders, and ensure that every detail functions exactly as intended. If the design is already complete and you only need the build managed, that is our Construction Management service.

Acoustic Solutions We Engineer and Specify
Fully integrated solutions that deliver measurable acoustic performance.
DESIGN-BUILD
Applications
Our approach is scalable for both new construction and retrofit projects across multiple environments:
Benefits of Our Turnkey Services
Acoustic issues are rarely addressed until there’s a problem, and by then, correcting problems becomes expensive and disruptive. Designing it right the first time avoids costly retrofits, regulatory penalties, and user dissatisfaction.
Single Point of Accountability
Memtech manages every phase, from design and material procurement to installation and verification, ensuring consistent communication, clear ownership, and predictable results.
Streamlined Coordination
By consolidating consulting, product procurement, and installation under one team, we minimize change orders, delays, and the miscommunication that often happens between separate vendors.
Cost and Time Efficiency
Integrated planning reduces rework, accelerates timelines, and allows for smarter material sourcing, delivering measurable savings without compromising performance.
Verified Acoustic Performance
Every Design & Build project concludes with testing and documentation to confirm that sound levels, reverberation, and vibration meet specified targets.
Tailored Engineering Solutions
Each solution is engineered through data acquisition, modeling and advanced analysis to achieve the best balance of acoustic performance, aesthetics, cost and durability.
Long-Term Reliability & Support
Design & Build projects are executed with consideration of lifecycle cost and supported by Memtech’s continued technical support to ensure sustained performance long after project completion.
Credentials, Standards, and Specification Coverage
Architects and general contractors need to validate an acoustic partner against credentials, code references, and named standards before they hand over part of the project scope. Here is what Memtech Acoustics brings to a design team.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When should you involve an acoustical consultant in a building project?
Engage an acoustical consultant during schematic design (SD) or design development (DD), before walls, ceilings, and HVAC layouts are locked in. Early involvement prevents costly redesigns and field rework. Memtech Acoustics also supports retrofit and remediation projects, diagnosing existing noise issues during construction or after occupancy.
Do you only handle large architectural projects?
No. Memtech Acoustics supports projects of every size, from single-room conference rooms and clinic retrofits to multi-building campus developments. Smaller projects often start with a focused acoustic assessment, while larger ones use full design-build engagements from schematic design through installation and validation.
What types of buildings benefit from acoustic consulting?
Almost any occupied space benefits, but acoustic consulting is critical for schools, hospitals, labs, worship centers, theaters, offices, courtrooms, data centers, and mixed-use developments. Memtech Acoustics designs for speech intelligibility, sound isolation, vibration control, and code compliance under IBC, ANSI S12.60, FGI, LEED, and WELL standards.
Can Memtech Acoustics help fix noise problems in an already-built space?
Yes. Many of our projects are retrofits. Memtech Acoustics measures existing conditions with diagnostic sound and vibration testing, models the room or assembly, and recommends targeted, cost-effective treatments, including wall upgrades, ceiling absorption, mechanical isolation, or sound masking, that can be installed with minimal disruption.
How does an acoustical consultant work alongside the general contractor?
Memtech Acoustics acts as a technical partner during construction, reviewing submittals, evaluating material substitutions, and inspecting installations that affect acoustic performance. This oversight prevents rework, protects STC and IIC ratings, and ensures the finished space delivers the sound isolation and comfort promised in the construction documents.
Does Memtech Acoustics work outside of Michigan?
Yes. Memtech Acoustics is headquartered in Rochester Hills, Michigan, but supports architectural projects nationwide. Our engineers collaborate with design and construction teams remotely, and travel for on-site measurements, RT60/ATF testing, and construction observation throughout the United States.
