Counterpoint's Consultants work closely with Project Managers, Education Advisors, ICT Managers, FFE Consultants, Architects, Electrical Contractors, Room Layout Consultants, School Teaching Staff and the School SMT.

As a result of engaging Counterpoint MTC at an early stage, its customers secure the highest quality infrastructure for their schools and avoid the high costs associated with subsequent remedial action and the provision of poor facilities for their staff and pupils.

"From the outset, we have been overwhelmed by Counterpoint's attention to detail. The design and specification of the solutions are of the very highest standard, leaving us wanting for nothing!"

"There's no longer any question of control over the classroom … the students are focused. Their attitude to music has changed dramatically, and the whole music curriculum is more engaging for them. The audio network makes it very easy to check students are 'on task' and helps me to identify individual attainment levels and personalise tuition accordingly. I can't overstate the importance of Counterpoint in making all of this a success: They designed and installed the whole system, and their technical support has been outstanding!"
