Our New Core Values and Why these Matter

At Mesh, our culture isn’t just an internal handbook – it’s the very foundation of how we work with our clients, architects and each other.



We believe the best outcomes in sustainable building design come from a team that is:

• INNOVATIVE – bringing fresh thinking and bigger-picture solutions to every project
• CURIOUS – asking ‘what if’ to push beyond the norm and discover smarter, answers to the urgent carbon challenge
• COLLABORATIVE – working side-by-side with architects, planning consultants, developers and construction clients to achieve the better outcomes
• HONEST– transparent in our approach, clear in our communications, and accountable for our decisions.
• KIND – leading every interaction with empathy and respect.

This way of working ensures our clients can trust us to deliver analysis, assessments and building services designs that are rigorous, practical, and future-focused – while our team members thrive in an environment that is flexible, supportive and purpose-driven.

According to Doug Johnson, Mesh Founder and Director:

"The Mesh Way is about much more than building performance and design – it’s about how we work with clients and as a team. These are the behaviours to guide us through every project. It is this culture that enables Mesh to deliver sustainable, future-proof solutions for architects, developers, building owners and construction clients – from landowners to housebuilders and local authorities – and the very best outcomes for every project and the wider environment."
