Nottingham-based construction management consultant Mark Johnston has become a CIOB fellow.
Johnston, a co-founder of Cube Construction Consultants, became a CIOB member in 2002, while Cube became a CIOB chartered company in 2022.
Johnston is also vice-chair and an active board member of the Nottingham Hub of CIOB in the East Midlands.
Johnston’s new FCIOB status will be conferred at a graduation ceremony in London on 12 September 2025.
He said: “It has been a long standing personal and professional ambition to achieve a chartered fellowship at CIOB.
“At Cube, we support construction businesses with building best practice into every element of construction and helping them to put processes in place which demonstrate competence, under the obligations within the Building Safety Act. What better way to demonstrate a high level of assessed competence than the CIOB fellowship programme?
“For our clients this is a real validation and assurance of our industry expertise – both as a chartered company and myself as a fellow.
“CIOB fellows are expected to adhere to high ethical standards, which include honesty, fairness and respect for the public interest. They are also expected to be accountable for their actions and decisions and to act with integrity in all professional dealings. These are aligned with the values we have always upheld at Cube.”
Chartered fellowship of CIOB has been independently benchmarked at master’s degree level and represents the highest grade of membership within the organisation, recognising an individual’s impact, experience and ability. It demonstrates to clients and colleagues across the industry a level of experience, knowledge and commitment to an ethical approach.
To achieve fellowship status, applicants must demonstrate at least five years of experience leading an organisation and people, and contributing to the industry, communities or society. These responsibilities must also extend to working with sector stakeholders and demonstrating a contribution to the wider industry or the general public.
Eligible candidates must attend an online workshop and submit a written assessment, which reflects on a project they have led. The final stage is attending a professional interview panel of industry peers.
