What We Do

Our Services

Six disciplines, one goal — spaces that sound as good as they look.

01

Building Acoustics

Noise control, insulation, and isolation between spaces — engineered so sound stays exactly where it should.

Learn More
02

Room Acoustics

Reverberation control, soundscaping & auralization, and RT (reverberation time) reports tuned to how a room is used.

Learn More
03

Architectural Acoustics

Institutional, commercial, office, residential and hospitality spaces designed with acoustics built in from day one.

Learn More
04

Vibration Analysis

Measuring and mitigating structure-borne vibration from equipment, traffic, or foot traffic before it reaches occupied spaces.

Learn More
05

Environmental Noise Assessment

Measuring and modelling site and community noise impact for regulatory compliance and good neighbor relations.

Learn More
06

Sound Insulation

Specifying and testing partitions, floors, and façades to control airborne and impact sound transmission between spaces.

How We Work

Our Process

From first seminar to handover, every acoustic engagement follows the same disciplined five-step path.

Free Seminar & Discovery

We start with your free 90-minute acoustic seminar to understand your project, goals, and constraints.

Acoustic Survey & Measurement

Our team surveys the site and measures existing noise, reverberation, and isolation conditions.

Modelling & Design

We model the space and design the acoustic treatment and architectural response it needs.

Documentation & Compliance

Findings and designs are documented into drawings and reports aligned with applicable codes.

Validation & Handover

We validate the completed space against the design targets and hand it over, ready to use.

Our Story

Built on a simple conviction

Niterion was founded in 2022 by Engr. Dominic Lim, ECT., out of a conviction that acoustic design deserved a seat at the table from day one — not an afterthought bolted on after construction. What began as one engineer's practice grew into a dedicated consultancy as Colin Omisol, Ella Laisan, Adrian Caamino, and Engr. John Michael Rey Zamora, ECT. joined the team.

Today, based in Makati City, Niterion works with architects, developers, and building owners across the Philippines — helping them create spaces that are good to the ears and the eyes.

Mission & Vision

Where we're headed

Mission

We partner with architects, engineers, and developers to engineer sound into the heart of design. Through building acoustics, room acoustics, and acoustic-led architectural design, we transform ordinary spaces into comfortable, tranquil environments that are as pleasing to the ears as they are to the eyes — pairing artistry with precise calculation to exceed the extraordinary on every project.

Vision

To redefine how the world experiences built spaces — where every room, building, and environment sounds as extraordinary as it looks, and acoustic excellence becomes the standard that great architecture is measured by.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered

Everything project owners usually ask us before their first acoustic seminar.

What is acoustic consultancy and do I actually need it?

Acoustic consultancy is the practice of designing, measuring, and specifying how sound behaves in a space — from keeping noise out to making a room sound clear inside it. If people in your building complain about noise, echo, or privacy, or you simply want a space that's comfortable to be in, you need one.

When in my project should I bring in an acoustician?

As early as possible — ideally during schematic design, before walls, MEP, and finishes are locked in. Acoustic decisions like wall assemblies, room shapes, and HVAC routing are far cheaper to get right on paper than to retrofit after construction.

Do you work on existing or already-finished buildings, or only new builds?

Both. We work on new builds from the design stage, and we also assess and treat existing, already-finished spaces — though early involvement always gives more options at a lower cost.

Which building codes and standards do you follow?

We design and measure against internationally recognized acoustic standards — reverberation time (RT60), Noise Criterion (NC), Sound Transmission Class (STC), and others as applicable — and align with local Philippine building code and project-specific requirements.

Do you provide reverberation (RT60) and other acoustic reports?

Yes. We provide RT60 reverberation reports, Noise Criterion (NC) assessments, and other room- and building-acoustic documentation as part of our Room Acoustics and Building Acoustics services.

What types of spaces and sectors do you serve?

Institutional, commercial, office, residential, and hospitality spaces — including meeting rooms, auditoriums, lobbies, guestrooms, fitness centers, and utility spaces.

How much does an engagement cost?

It depends on the size, complexity, and stage of your project. We scope every engagement individually — the best first step is booking a free acoustic seminar, where we learn about your project and give you a clear sense of scope and next steps.

Is the free acoustic seminar really free?

Yes — genuinely free, with no obligation. It's a 90-minute session where you bring your floor plans and questions, and we bring the science.
