Recording Studio Design, Builds,
Installs and Repairs

With over 20 years' experience in recording studio design, analysis and construction, Miloco Builds offer expertise in every area involved in building a recording studio. We pride ourselves on a team of people with actual audio engineering backgrounds, therefore appreciate the many complexities of studio design. The team is led by project manager and technical director Pete Hofmann, highly respected acoustician Nick Whitaker, and one of the UK's

best-known recording studio builders, Micky Whelan. Having been at the forefront of music production for two decades, Miloco understands the many needs of the modern producer; a key advantage we have over many other recording studio designers. Our service includes viewing potential buildings to offer a full studio analysis: structural considerations, town and country planning, electrics, air handling and interior design, all the while ensuring building regulations

are met. We can then fully assess each client’s individual requirements, from the construction of specially treated acoustic rooms to bespoke studio furniture. Each has incorporated unique building methods which have not only dealt with difficult and complex spaces, but have also proved incredibly cost effective.
