The verdict in three sentences
An industrial operator facing an EPA compliance notice, or a design team needing Part E sound insulation tests before handover, is not looking for a pitch, they are looking for a consultancy that has already solved their problem, with figures to prove it. A Dublin acoustic consultancy's website should therefore organise its offer by regulatory situation (EPA licence, planning condition, Part E testing, commercial premises) and show case studies expressed in decibels gained, timelines and costs avoided. With a qualified booking module, each enquiry arrives with the context an engineer needs to price the job.
The situations that trigger an appointment
The founder of a 12-person consultancy in Dublin has two goals: lock in recurring contracts with industrial and data centre operators in the greater Dublin area, and become the go-to acoustic consultant for a handful of architects and engineers on office and residential schemes. The Irish construction market for offices, data centres and apartments remains active in 2026, and planning conditions on noise are routine.
| Client situation | Typical service | Observed fees (2026 estimate, EUR) | Usual timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPA licence noise survey | Monitoring and annual report | 2,500 to 8,000 | 3 to 6 weeks |
| Compliance notice or neighbour complaints | Diagnosis, modelling, mitigation plan | 8,000 to 25,000 | 6 to 10 weeks |
| Part E sound insulation testing | Pre-completion tests | 2,500 to 6,000 | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Planning noise impact assessment | Report for the planning application | 3,000 to 9,000 | 3 to 5 weeks |
| Office, school or data centre design | Acoustic design across project stages | 10,000 to 45,000 | Project duration |
| Machinery vibration | Measurements and recommendations | 4,000 to 15,000 | 3 to 6 weeks |
Each situation deserves its own page, with the relevant regulation, what the deliverable contains, the timeline and one reference. An operator under pressure wants to know in one minute whether you can act before the deadline set by the authority.
Proof by numbers: case studies
In acoustics, proof is measurable, which is rare in B2B. A useful case study fits in five lines: context, measured level, target, solution, result. For example: a manufacturing site in north Dublin, night-time level 6 dB above the licence limit, enclosures on two compressors and an acoustic barrier, level brought within limit by 2 dB margin, file closed by the EPA within 5 months. Eight to ten cases of this kind are worth more than any sales copy.
Qualified booking completes the system: before reserving a 30-minute slot, the client states site type, problem, deadline, and attaches the authority's letter or a site plan if available.
| Kolonell tier | Budget | Typical scope | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1,220 to 1,830 EUR | Pages per situation, references, contact | 5 weeks |
| Growth | 1,830 to 3,050 EUR | Filterable quantified case studies, qualified booking | 6 weeks |
| Premium | 3,050 to 5,340 EUR | Client portal for reports, recurring contract tracking, CRM | 7 weeks |
| Maintenance | 53 to 183 EUR per month | Security, backups, updates | Monthly |
| Monthly SEO | 100,000 to 350,000 FCFA per month | Queries such as 'noise survey Dublin', situation pages | Monthly |
A Dublin agency typically charges 8,000 to 25,000 EUR for a comparable scope, as a 2026 order of magnitude.
Turning one-off work into recurring contracts
EPA licence monitoring is often annual. A client portal that stores reports and reminds the operator of the next survey turns a one-off client into a de facto subscription. For design teams, a 'Working with us' page that details your services per RIAI work stage makes it easier to be named in competition teams. Add a short downloadable capability statement with your instruments, calibration certificates and insurance, since public clients and main contractors ask for it on almost every tender.

Aoife, founder of a 12-person acoustic consultancy in Dublin, invests 3,000 EUR in Growth, plus 75 EUR per month of maintenance. Over twelve months, booking generates 60 qualified requests, 17 of them converted. The average job is 8,000 EUR, or 136,000 EUR of revenue. Among these clients, 5 operators sign an annual EPA monitoring contract at 4,500 EUR. First-year site cost: 3,000 + 12 × 75 = 3,900 EUR, or 2.9 % of the revenue generated.
FAQ
Should we name our industrial clients?
Rarely, because compliance files are sensitive. An anonymised case with the area, sector and decibels gained is enough in 80 % of cases.
Will booking attract private homeowners?
The pre-booking questionnaire filters by type of requester. Homeowner complaints can be routed to a dedicated page with, for example, a survey from 900 EUR.
How many case studies to start with?
Eight to ten, across the main situations. Plan 2 hours of writing per case with the engineer involved.
Can the site remind clients of survey deadlines?
Yes, on Premium the client portal stores reports and sends a reminder 90 days before the next scheduled survey.
How long until launch?
Plan 5 to 7 weeks depending on the tier, including one week to gather case studies.
