Protect your margin from unclouded changes

Once a job is live the documentation only gets messier. Drawings reissue at 75%, at IFC, and again each time a consultant fixes their own work, and not every change arrives clouded. An unclouded change reaches site one of two ways: your team builds it as though it was always in the contract, or they build off the sheet it superseded and rectify at your cost. Either way you have delivered scope you were entitled to be paid for, and it comes straight off the job's margin.

CIM compares every revision against the last and against the contract baseline, and flags exactly what changed - unclouded edits, added scope, spec upgrades in finishes, joinery and FFE, services running through structure that wasn't there last week - within hours of the set landing, each finding cited to the source drawing and the page it appeared on.

Your team sees the change while it is still a conversation. That matters commercially as well as practically: most amended contracts give you 14 days or less from when you knew, or should have known, about a change, and the clock starts when the revision lands whether or not anyone opened it. RFIs and notices go out inside the window, and the same dated record substantiates the variation, supports an extension of time, and stands up at the final account when the client's QS asks where the scope came from.
