Cube Construction Consultants

What Cube Construction Consultants does

Cube Construction Consultants is a Nottingham-based, CIOB Chartered construction management consultancy founded in 2019 by Mark Johnston and Nicola Slater, with Peter Dawber as a strategic partner. It serves UK regional and tier 1 contractors, construction consultancies, and education-sector clients with three service lines: hands-on construction management consultancy, independent project reviews and process improvements, and Building Safety Act training (over 1,000 professionals trained since 2024). Its proprietary technology asset is Milestone, a cloud-based construction management software platform purpose-built for UK contractors, providing a unified dashboard for programme, procurement, resource allocation, document management, automated workflows, and real-time progress tracking. Revenue is generated primarily through bespoke professional-services engagements (multi-year or scoped contracts), supplemented by subscription-based Milestone software licensing and cohort-based Building Safety Act training delivered both directly and via partnerships with the CIOB, Constructionline/OFA, and the Federation of Master Builders. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on director-level relationship management, an active content and webinar programme, CIOB industry-body participation, and referrals; pricing is not publicly disclosed across any line.

Others

• CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building): Industry body that charters construction management professionals and accredits consultancies like Cube. Partner and ecosystem participant relevant to Cube's training, CPD and chartered-consultancy positioning rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Turner & Townsend: Global professional services firm delivering project management, cost consultancy and advisory across UK infrastructure and real estate. Overlaps with Cube on construction management consulting and independent reviews, especially for tier 1 contractors.
• Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB): Global construction consultancy delivering cost management, project management and advisory services across the UK. Overlaps with Cube on independent project reviews and construction management advisory but operates at much larger scale with broader service lines.
• Mace Group: Global construction and consultancy firm offering project management, construction management and advisory services. Comparable to Cube on construction management consultancy but at vastly larger scale and broader scope.
• Procore: Global construction management SaaS platform covering project management, procurement and document control. Directly comparable to Cube's Milestone platform as a construction PM software solution, though at vastly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Gleeds: International construction and property consultancy offering cost management, project management and independent advisory to contractors and owners across the UK. Comparable to Cube in delivering construction management consultancy and project reviews, but at significantly greater scale.
• Pick Everard: UK construction and property consultancy providing project management, cost consultancy and advisory services to public and private sector clients. Overlaps with Cube in construction management consultancy and education-sector project work.
• CPC Project Services: UK-focused construction project management consultancy providing independent PM, employer's agent and project controls services. Highly comparable to Cube in its core PM/consultancy offering to UK contractors and clients, with a similarly niche positioning.

Emerging players

• PlanRadar: SaaS platform for construction documentation, task management and defect tracking. Comparable to Milestone as a cloud-based construction management tool aimed at contractors and project teams.
• LetsBuild (formerly GenieBelt): Construction project management and field-collaboration SaaS used by general contractors. Direct competitor to Milestone in the cloud construction PM space with a similar SMB/mid-market contractor focus.
