Lessons learnt
What the last job taught, running as a check on the next one.
Every job teaches the business something: a detail that leaked, a trade scope line that always gets left out, a clause that cost money at the final account. CIM turns those into checks that run on every new set, alongside the code, brief and coordination audits.
01/The last job
02/Your library
- Past defects, as checks
- Standard details your team insists on
- Qualifications your estimators always add
03/The next project
What one job taught, written down once and run as a check on every set after it.
The old way
What the last job taught leaves with the people who were on it
The close-out report is never opened
The lesson is written up once, filed, and the next project starts from a blank page.
The same detail fails three projects later
The detail that leaked is drawn the same way, nobody on the new team was there the first time, and the rectification bill arrives again.
Delivery finds out what estimating assumed when it goes wrong
The qualifications made at tender stay in the tender file.
With CIM
Your standard, applied to every set by whoever is reading it
The lesson runs as a check on every set
A defect from the last job, a standard detail your team insists on, a qualification your estimators always add. Written in plain English, run from the next revision on.
Tender assumptions carry into delivery
What was assumed at pricing stays attached to the scope it was priced on, so delivery inherits what estimating knew.
A junior reviews to your senior's standard
Every project adds to the library. Whoever reads the next set applies what your most experienced people set.
What it does for your team
Builders
The house standard on every new set
A defect from the last job and the detail your team insists on become checks the next set is read against.
Certifiers and surveyors
The findings you always raise, automated
The issues that come up on every project of a type run as their own pass, so nobody re-derives them each time.
Consultants
Juniors reviewing to your standard
What your most experienced people know is applied to every set, whoever is doing the read.
