Estimating teams

Tender pressure rewards speed over thoroughness. The set goes out at 30% or 60% with gaps the consultants will fix later, the program gives you four weeks to price, and your team is running three other bids at the same time. Peripheral scope slips. Acoustics, bespoke joinery, the note buried on page 47. Whatever the estimator misses is now in your number, and you're bidding against builders who missed different things.

CIM reads the full tender pack in under an hour. Drawings against specs, schedules against drawings, prior revisions against the current set. Findings come back with source citations so your team can verify in minutes, adjust where it matters, and raise RFIs while the consultants are still answering them.

Most importantly - you stop bidding blind.

And there's nothing to learn. Your estimators just jump on and ask - "Does the schedule match the drawings?" - and get an answer cited to the page. No rollout, no training day, no new system to adopt mid-bid.
