Construction consultancy marks 5th anniversary with software launch
Nottingham-based construction management consultancy Cube is marking its five-year anniversary with the launch of its new construction management software, Milestone.
In November 2024, Cube celebrated both its business milestone and the unveiling of Milestone, a new software platform aimed at improving construction project management.
Founded by construction experts Nicola Slater and Mark Johnston, MCIOB, NECReg, the consultancy has spent the past five years working with contractors, combining over 60 years of industry experience to help deliver projects on time, protect margins and reduce risks.
Milestone offers a real-time, digital solution that helps contractors manage every stage of a project, from award through design to delivery, completion, and aftercare.
The platform is fully compatible with the Building Safety Act, reinforcing best practices across the construction process.
Co-founder and construction consultant, Nicola Slater said: “From a standing start, with no clients and little industry recognition of how construction management consultancy could help make a difference to the successful outcome of construction projects, we set up Cube.
“Fast forward five years and we’ve captured our expertise into Milestone, a robust digital tool to help construction managers maximise their efficiency in managing projects and meeting targets.”
Co-founder and construction consultant, Mark Johnston, Vice Chair of the CIOB Nottingham Hub adds: “Having got the business off the ground from a standing start and weathered the storm of a global pandemic, we found ourselves working with some of the biggest names in the construction industry, providing construction management consultancy on projects such as the regeneration of an enclosure at London Zoo and a listed building at a historic university campus”.
“More recently, The Building Safety Act (BSA) has become a significant focus for us. Holding multi-disciplinary workshops in London and Nottingham has embedded us firmly in the discussion about where the industry is heading in terms of competency and best practices. We’ve incorporated that into Milestone software so it is a practical tool to help firms meet their obligations under the Act, demonstrate competency and provide a digital ‘Golden Thread’ of project information.”
