Sound comes first
A studio must keep outside noise out and inside sound under control. That means isolated walls and floors, sealed doors, quiet ventilation and careful treatment of surfaces. Sound leaks through small gaps, so details count.
Our interior systems team, led by Brian Wright, builds the layered walls, ceilings and doors. Our mechanical crew designs the HVAC to be quiet, with larger ducts and lower air speeds.
Light, power and signal
Studio lighting needs strong electrical capacity, flexible grids and good dimming. Our electrical crew, led by a Master Electrician, installs power distribution, lighting circuits and dedicated clean power for equipment. Heat from lights and gear must be removed without adding noise.
Our low voltage team installs cabling for cameras, audio, video, intercoms and control rooms, plus access control and surveillance.

Spaces around the studio
A working broadcast facility also includes control rooms, edit suites, green rooms, makeup and equipment storage. Each has its own acoustic and technical needs. Our carpenters and painters build sets, backdrops, desks and finishes.
Plan carefully
Noise tests, equipment layouts and cable counts should be set early. Changes after walls are closed are costly. We work with your technical team and consultants to confirm details, then deliver on a single schedule.
Studios need good construction and good flexibility. Hanging points, floor boxes and wall panels can be positioned to suit how you shoot now and how you may shoot later. We discuss formats and workflows with your technical lead, then plan pathways and power that allow for changes without cutting into finished walls or ceilings.
Before closing walls, we invite your acoustic consultant and technical lead to inspect the framing, seals and cable runs. Catching a gap at that stage costs little. Finding it after the first recording costs much more. We schedule these checkpoints into the work so there are no surprises at handover.
