Scope risk management
Missed changes are eating your margin
Drawings change faster than any one person can read them. CIM reads every revision, flags the scope gaps and unclouded changes, and drafts the scope of works, RFIs and notices that follow. Your scope risk stays visible while there's still time to act.

“CIM Build pointed to new opportunities to de-risk project documentation and procurement.”
Where scope risk starts
Every builder has the same problem
Your delivery team inherits the job in a one-hour meeting. The assumptions and exclusions the tender was priced on get talked through once, then live in a SharePoint folder - tender drawings, the estimate, sub quotes, addenda 1 through 6 - and in email threads scattered across the team. No single source of truth, and it's the assumptions that go missing first. Two years of revisions land on top of them, and nothing that follows reconciles back to what was priced.
Where it costs you
Margin erosion, project by project
Scope creep between revisions doesn't get picked up
Document review is prone to human error
The gap in your risk register
The bottleneck is human review capacity
Every revision lands as hundreds of sheets, and one person reads them between site walks and RFIs. The unclouded changes slip past the desk and surface months later as variations you can't claim, while review capacity stays flat and your margin absorbs the difference.

Under the hood
How Construction Intelligence Management Is Built
Seven floors, built to house your project intelligence.
What your estimators priced, what your team assumed and every revision since all live in here. The stack runs on its own, on every revision that lands, and brings your team what it finds. Keep scrolling - the tower comes apart floor by floor.
Outcomes
Your commercial position stops depending on who remembered to check.
Every set risk-screened before it becomes yours to build
Every revision compared, every change cited to its sheet
Every sheet you build off checked against the contract
Changes flagged within hours, while the notice window is open
What the industry says
“CIM Build pointed to new opportunities to de-risk project documentation and procurement. It's pleasing to see how the transformation of construction is accelerating now that the serious players have embraced what good looks like. The days of starting projects with only part documentation are now in the rear view mirror.”

Former NSW Building Commissioner
Why we built CIM
“I've sat through too many design meetings where everyone assumed someone else had checked it. Drawings were technically ‘issued’, procurement moved and the risk only showed up once money was already committed. CIM exists to identify those risks early - before they turn into arguments, delays, or margin erosion.”
