Scope risk management

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

Where scope risk starts

Every main contractor 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

Building things that weren't allowed for eats your margin

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.

Introducing CIM

Scope risk, managed from the handover meeting 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.”

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.”
