Solution
AI-suggested RFIs
RFIs drafted from what the documents contradict.
The distance between spotting a conflict and getting an RFI out is admin: find the sheet again, write the question, attach the extract, log it. Days go by on a finding somebody already made, and on a job where the notice window is short those days are the whole entitlement.
CIM drafts the RFI from the finding. The question, the sheets it concerns, the revision it was found on and the extract come back as a draft, in the wording your team uses.
Every draft is reviewed by a person before it goes anywhere. The RFI leaves when your design manager decides it should, with the substantiation already attached. Currently in beta with a small group of builders.
What lands in your review queue
The question written, the extract attached, and nothing sent until a person sends it.

The acoustic report (Rev B, §4.2) requires Rw 35 to party walls between sole-occupancy units. Partition type P-04 on A-2104 Rev D is nominated as Rw 30. Please confirm the required rating and issue an amended partition type where Rw 35 applies.
What it does for your team
Builders
Days off the notice clock
The question, the sheets and the extract come back drafted, so the RFI goes out the day the finding is made.
Consultants
Questions that arrive answerable
Each RFI names the sheet, the revision and the conflict, so the answer takes one pass.
Certifiers and surveyors
The information request, written
What the set does not say clearly enough to assess, raised as a drafted request for a person to send.
Before CIM
- A finding waits days for someone to write it up.
- The extract and the revision get re-found for every RFI.
- Short notice windows close on questions that were already known.
With CIM
- Each finding comes back as a draft RFI with the question written.
- The sheet, the revision and the extract already attached.
- Your team reviews and sends; nothing goes out on its own.
