The accolade is awarded to non-members of CABE who have made a significant contribution to the advancement of the construction industry.
One of eight recognised, he said it was “a good feeling to be recognised by a sister professional body”.
Nash chairs CIOB’s Quality Implementation Group and sits on the Building Advisory Committee at the Building Safety Regulator. In 2017, he chaired the working group on procurement as part of Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety.

CABE said that Nash was chosen because he is “driven to raise awareness of challenges within the building industry and is focused on driving improvements in building safety”.
‘They want to make a real difference’
CABE CEO Richard Harral commented: “All of the awardees have one thing in common, they want to make a real difference. Whether this is by improving educational opportunities or enhancing a building’s life safety, their work resonates with our values of professional integrity and our focus on public benefit, and I am incredibly proud to now be able to call them building engineers.”
Nash said: “I’ve always said that as professional bodies we are stronger when we collaborate, and the work we have done to raise standards and promote best practice through publications such as the guide to safety-critical elements and the competence frameworks for project managers and procurement practitioners are examples of this.”
“We are on target to publish a guide to safety-critical products later this year, which is a collaboration with CCPI, CPA, RIBA and IStructE, and which will have an important role to play in supporting the wider objective of reforming the construction product regime.”
Nash went on to say: “I hope there will be opportunities for CIOB and CABE to work more closely in the future.”
