How we help Architects
Mesh Energy works collaboratively with architects and their clients at any stage of a project to guarantee a successful low-energy design every time.
An early understanding of the client’s vision of project success - as well as an appreciation for any site opportunities or constraints - is the starting point for every project. From the outset right through to project completion, communication and clarity are key. The Mesh team employs this simple but highly effective process:
- Client and architect onboarding call to agree objectives and timescales
- Identify and communicate key milestones that work with your design process
- Gather key information for the latest phase and make you aware of any key prerequisites needed
- Issue draft report or designs to deadline for feedback
- Follow-up call and discussion to finalise details
- Issue final report or designs
- Repeat until the end of your awesome project!
When should you get us involved?
A question we’re often asked is

“At what stage should we get Mesh involved?”
The honest answer is as early as possible, although we can provide support at any of the RIBA Plan of Work stages.
Benefits of working with Mesh
Peace of mind and confidence in your design, knowing it has been fully analysed
Constructive feedback for a more informed and optimised design
Time savings from reduced hassle researching or liaising with various installers and product manufacturers
Trusted design partners, on hand, to help deliver beautiful energy-efficient buildings
Award-winning eco designs with supporting evidence
We engaged with Mesh at an early stage on a number of projects. Their input has helped drive a holistic fabric first sustainability approach that has underwritten our co-ordinated design development and project delivery from concept to commissioning and client handover.
Mesh have been proactive in providing long-term deliverable tailored solutions focused to the specific needs and requirements of the client. This has included a full design service overseeing a number of other specialist M&E consultants and where required reviewing VE proposals which helped with the financial challenges of the package.
The team have been a pleasure to work with and we’ll be working with them again.

How we work with your client
Mesh understands that the client is the keystone to any successful low-energy build. Through our ‘no-pressure’ approach, we’re happy to speak to clients in the first instance to find out what their aspirations and priorities are. In order to provide the best value to your client we put together bespoke support packages to get them exactly where they want to be. Once actively working with the client, we involve them in discussions and recommendations to ensure the highest level of understanding and confidence as the project progresses.
Claywood House - Hampshire
This striking new home truly embraces low energy living with a fabric first approach. The house, complete with an indoor therapy pool, was designed to meet the needs of a recently wheelchair bound client enabling independent living.
Mesh worked with the client and ACG Architects from first principles right the way through to construction to provide a comprehensive service.
279 Rosendale Road
When a property developer was looking to convert a disused old dairy into a 34 unit residential development, the project architect contacted us to help with both the pre-application and planning application for the scheme.
Mesh reviewed the application and made suggestions for suitable sustainable measures to be implemented and prepared a supporting statement for initially pre-app and then planning submission.
At whichever stage of your project you are, drop us a line and we will be glad to support you
