What We Do

It is my pleasure to communicate the wonderful experience I’ve had working with CSDA on the Global Green Generation School project. The CSDA team has demonstrated outstanding communication abilities and a client-centered approach, as well as a clear understanding of the importance of deadlines and schedules, and the effective ability to navigate through DSA. I highly recommend CSDA’s professional and qualified staff for their strong architectural design abilities and understanding of sustainable school building concepts.”

Acoustical Engineering

CSDA carefully considers a building’s location, function, and aesthetics in designing acoustical solutions that are within an owner’s budget. We have collaborated on new construction, expansions, restorations, and renovations for a wide range of building types, including high-performance and sustainable structures.

We provide developers, planners, schools, architects, engineers, and owners with:

  • Acoustical testing, analysis, and reporting for environmental studies
  • Building assessments and recommendations to meet acoustical objectives
  • Design review and acoustical input on building plans and specifications
  • Material and product specifications required for contract documents
  • Construction site visits to confirm compliance with design intent
  • Onsite acoustical measurements of existing buildings
  • Three-dimensional modeling and graphics for agency/user presentations

Airport Noise & Residential Sound Insulation

To address noise concerns, the federal government has funded programs to retrofit impacted properties with architectural solutions aimed at achieving acceptable interior noise levels. These retrofits reduce speech interruption and sleep disturbance in homes and improve learning environments in schools. We respectfully work with each community to provide acoustical solutions that offer healthier, more comfortable environments.

We have earned a reputation for excellence in the following:

  • Acoustical design and measurements
  • Agency audits
  • Architectural design
  • Construction and contract document development
  • Construction administration and inspection support
  • Community outreach/collateral materials
  • Data management systems
  • Program management
  • Technical and administrative staff support
