Irwin Carr Consulting

Irwin Carr Consulting is a specialist firm of acoustics consultants and environmental experts who guide projects from initial feasibility through to planning consent, detailed design, construction and compliance verification. They collaborate with developers, architects, engineers, planners and operators requiring precise, technically sound assessments—whether proving compliance with policies and standards, addressing regulator questions, or developing practical mitigation solutions to maintain project momentum.

Their approach centres on delivering real-world results: spotting risks early, producing robust reports for submissions, and helping clients navigate planning conditions and environmental requirements efficiently. From environmental noise and vibration to building acoustics, air quality (including odour) and underwater sound, the consultancy provides both measurement and modelling services—enabling clients to quantify impacts, design effective controls, and demonstrate compliance.

They also maintain a dedicated software division supporting acoustic modelling workflows, providing and maintaining industry-standard tools. This blend of consultancy expertise and technical software capability proves especially valuable for complex projects where modelling quality, assumptions and reporting clarity significantly impact stakeholder confidence and approvals.
