Right First Time Book

Right First Time has been written for enlightened and forward-thinking architects interested in delivering successful and low energy modern buildings.



Architects are the ultimate creators and caretakers of a client’s dream home through the design and build process, and you can often find yourself wearing many ‘hats’, including lead creative talent, client adviser, project manager, mediator and more. If you want a simpler professional life, with more success, less project risk and more happy clients who rave about how hassle-free their low energy home has been to design and build, this book is for you.



Read Right First Time to understand how to:

• Prioritise key elements of building design for maximum energy savings
• Understand the client’s big goals and measure ultimate success
• Save your client money and keep their budget and outcomes under control
• Build and elite project ‘A-Team’ able to turn your client’s vision into a reality

I wrote this book through a mixture of frustration, opportunity and the need to share success for the wider benefit of others. I have over a decade of experience working on 300+ low-energy home projects, covering a wide range of project types. I have seen projects meet a client’s wildest dreams, fail spectacularly and almost everything in between. 



My book will demystify and clear up the misunderstanding that the design and delivery of modern low-energy buildings is a complicated and risk-filled process. Every architect building new, modern, energy-efficient homes should be confident that working with the right specialist team using a methodical tried-and-tested process will give them the best chance of success.

Straight talking simplifies the constantly changing sector of low energy building design

This book de-mystified the topic of designing for sustainable living for me. Although it is aimed at architects my interest as a Mechanical & Electrical Engineer in renewable energy was satisfied by the jargon-free approach. Doug explains the 8 stages that his own company "Mesh Energy" use when approaching projects. I have given this book to the architect who is currently looking at my own house and am confident that by following these steps we can guarantee a return on our renewable investment.
