Acoustics, integrated.
We combine consulting, design, supply and installation into a single accountable service — eliminating the coordination gaps that lead to delays, defects and compliance failures.
A fragmented industry.
Australia's acoustic services market is fragmented. Consultants write specifications. Suppliers ship products. Installers follow instructions. When something goes wrong, accountability is diffused across three or more contracts — and the client bears the cost.
Forma was founded to close that gap. By integrating all disciplines under one roof, we give architects, builders and end clients a single point of contact from brief to handover — reducing project complexity, cost and risk.
Built on 45 dB Systems.
Forma operates as a brand of 45 dB Systems Pty Ltd — Australia's leading sound masking specialists, with a track record spanning 15+ years and landmark projects including 1 Elizabeth Street, Sydney.
45 dB Systems continues to operate as our specialist sound masking arm, while Forma expands the offering to include upstream consulting, acoustic design, and direct product supply. This gives clients access to a complete lifecycle service backed by proven trade capability and established industry relationships.
The team.
