Outcome
Re-check every revision
Rev C lands and the assessment does not start again.
Sets do not hold still during an assessment. Rev C arrives with clouds on some of the changes, the fire engineer's report shifts a performance solution, and the assessor has a choice: re-read the whole set, or trust the clouds and hope the unclouded changes do not matter.
CIM compares every issue against the last, sheet by sheet, and flags what moved - clouded or not - then re-checks each change against the clauses that apply. A corridor narrowed at Rev F, a slab set-down added without a cloud, a rating specified two ways: found the hour the revision lands, with the sheet and the clause beside it.
The re-read is the changes, and the report keeps pace with the design.
Before CIM
- A revision means re-reading the set from page one, or trusting the clouds.
- Unclouded changes surface at certification or after occupation.
- The report falls behind the design.
With CIM
- Every issue compared against the last, sheet by sheet.
- Changes flagged - clouded or not - and re-checked against the code.
- The re-read is the changes; the report keeps pace.
