Feature
Revision tracking
See what changed between issues, clouded or not.
Reissued sets land without clouds. A slab level moves, a hob shifts, a note changes, and the transmittal says nothing. CIM puts two issues side by side, boxes every change on the sheet and feeds a change register with the sheet and revision behind each item.
Rev C
Rev D
| Change | Where | Clouded |
|---|---|---|
| Metal siren added beside the chimney | FL-384-F · roof | No |
| Annotation added: METAL SIREN | FL-384-F · notes | No |
Two revisions side by side, every change boxed on the sheet and listed underneath. Sheet: HABS FL-384-F, Library of Congress, public domain.
The old way
Unclouded changes surface on site, or at the final account
The cloud is missing, and so is the change
The transmittal lists the sheets that changed. A moved slab level or a rewritten note on them is left to the reader to find.
Nobody has the days to re-check every sheet
So the set goes through on faith that the consultant clouded their own work.
The variation cannot be substantiated
The change register is kept by hand when there is time. Without the revision and what it was priced against, the claim is an argument.
With CIM
Every change between two issues, boxed on the sheet in minutes
Every change boxed, drawn and written both
Dimensions, levels, step-downs, details, hatching and text. A comparison that takes a day by hand comes back in minutes.
The register writes itself
Each change carries the sheet, the revision it arrived in and what it was priced against.
The variation is claimed while the window is open
The record turns a change into scope you can claim, with the notice served in time.
What it does for your team
Builders
Claim the change while the window is open
Each change carries the revision it arrived in and what it was priced against, so entitlement is substantiated.
Certifiers and surveyors
Stop reassessing the whole set
The comparison shows what moved between issues, so the re-assessment goes to the sheets that changed.
Consultants

Changes in someone else's set that affect yours, found the week they are issued rather than on site.
