Core offering

LAiRM CONSULT GmbH is an independent consulting engineering office that delivers acoustics, air quality, and immission protection services for complex construction and infrastructure projects across Germany. The firm provides expert consulting, measurements, modeling, and expert-witness opinions from project planning through completion, serving project developers, municipalities, and industrial operators with accredited testing and regulatory documentation.

Product overview

LAiRM CONSULT GmbH is a consulting engineering firm specializing in acoustics, air quality, and immission protection. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bargteheide (north of Hamburg), the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of technical consulting services organized around three core areas: building and room acoustics, immission protection (noise, air, dust, odor), and expert witness services. The service portfolio includes Bau- und Raumakustik (Building and Room Acoustics), Immissionsschutz (Immission Protection), Luft- und Staubprognosen (Air and Dust Forecasts), Geruchsprognosen (Odor Forecasts), Licht und Schatten (Light and Shadow studies), various measurement services (bau- und raumakustische Messungen, Geräuschmessungen), passive noise protection administration (Abwicklung passiven Lärmschutzes), Sachverständigenwesen (Expert Witness Services), and Verkehrszählungen (Traffic Counts). These services are complemented by advisory offerings for Bauleitplanung (municipal land use planning), Baugenehmigungsverfahren (building permits), BImSchG-Genehmigungsverfahren (immission control permits), Lärmminderung (noise reduction planning), Luftreinhalteplanung (air quality planning), Nutzungsänderung (change of use assessments), Lärmbeschwerden (noise complaint investigations), and Arbeitsschutz (occupational safety). The firm operates as a project-focused consultancy rather than a software product company, delivering expert opinions, measurements, and technical reports for complex construction projects throughout Germany.

• Müller-BBM Group: One of the largest German engineering consultancies in acoustics, immission protection, and air quality. Comparable to LAiRM in core service lines (BImSchG measurements, building acoustics, expert witness work) but at significantly larger scale with multiple German offices.
• Steinbacher-Consult Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH: German engineering consultancy offering building physics, acoustics, and immission protection services. Comparable to LAiRM in technical scope and certifications, serving construction and infrastructure clients.
• Möhler + Partner Ingenieure AG: German engineering consultancy specializing in acoustics, noise protection, and immission protection. Closely comparable to LAiRM in service portfolio, certification scope, and target clients (project developers, municipalities, industry). Both firms serve as recognized measurement authorities under §29b BImSchG.
• ITA Ingenieurgesellschaft für Technische Akustik mbH: German engineering consultancy focused on building acoustics, room acoustics, and noise control. Comparable to LAiRM as a specialized acoustics firm serving construction, infrastructure, and industrial clients in Germany.
