Design managers

Design management runs on Excel. Risk registers, RFIs, variations, all consolidated by hand. Spreadsheets get sent out, taken offline, re-uploaded out of sync, and you re-consolidate them every cycle. One design manager carries the coordination for a whole state, and the next revision is already in the pipeline.

CIM watches every revision the moment it arrives. It runs your audit templates against the new set, flags coordination errors weeks earlier than a manual review would, and produces a change register linked back to source pages. You get a defensible record of which design obligations the architect met and which they didn't.

Variations get caught before they hit cost, especially in finishes, joinery, and FFE. Your hours go back to the design decisions only you can make. The change register stops being a labor of love.

And there's nothing to learn - no rollout, no training day. You just ask what changed and get an answer cited to the page, so keeping the register current stops being a manual job.
