About Cube

Chartered Construction Consultants, Cube are positive, proactive and solution focussed.  We understand the complexities of construction projects, the importance of on-time delivery, and the challenges that can derail a project. Providing clarity, objective insight, and innovative solutions to a wide range of problems, we help you through every step of the project’s process.

Our business was founded by Mark Johnston and Nicola Slater. Senior-level operations, construction delivery, sales and client relationship specialists.

What we do

We believe there is a better way to deliver a construction project

Our services provide clarity, objective insight, and innovative solutions to deal with a range of problems, we work with you throughout every step of the process.  There is a largely unfair belief in the construction sector that projects are rarely on time and that quality is often substandard. We know that it does not have to be this way and that issues with construction projects come not from a lack of standards or skill, but from ineffective process management and collaboration along with poor visibility of activity.

Our solution is to provide expert advice, bespoke support, Construction Project Review, and hands-on assistance throughout the construction project management process – from initial consultation and feasibility studies through to completion. 

Our team consists of highly knowledgeable, hand-picked construction professionals with an in-depth understanding of the UK construction industry and the built environment. 

We are genuinely passionate about the construction industry and helping our clients deliver projects with 100% customer satisfaction.

Whether you’re an established construction company or a client concerned about progress, we have the knowledge and experience to ensure that your project is completed successfully and with positive outcomes for all.
