Scope risk management
The number was set at feasibility; the design develops for eighteen months after it. CIM reads every revision against the brief you underwrote, flags the scope the design has picked up, and cites each finding to the page. You see it while the drawing is still cheap to change.
Trusted by leading Australian builders
“CIM Build pointed to new opportunities to de-risk project documentation and procurement.”
David Chandler OAMFormer NSW Building CommissionerWhere the drift starts
Every developer-builder carries it alone
You underwrote the project on a brief and a concept set, then handed it to consultants you engage and a delivery team you employ. Everything after that is design development, and design development adds - a slab thickens, a facade system changes, the services reservation grows. Each change is defensible on its own and none of them arrive as variation, because there is no counterparty to raise one against. Eighteen months later the cost report catches up with decisions nobody costed at the time.
Where it costs you
It comes off the return, every time
A change found late costs rework and the holding time to fix it
Nobody is checking your consultants except you
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 consultant meetings. The unclouded changes slip past the desk and surface months later as rework nobody priced and time you carry, while review capacity stays flat and the return absorbs the difference.
Introducing CIM
Scope risk, managed from feasibility to practical completion
With CIM, your team gets through the analysis faster and catches more of what matters. Every revision comes back as flagged findings, cited to the page, ready to be signed off and sent straight to the right register - in your spreadsheets or in Aconex, Procore or ACC.

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.”
David Chandler OAM
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.”
