AI-assisted QA

CIM checks every drawing, specification and schedule against each other and against the building code - coordination, spec consistency, fire, egress, access - and returns each finding cited to the sheet it sits on, so your practice issues more work off the same senior hours.

The QA pass today

Sets got bigger. The pass stayed one person and an afternoon

A modern issue runs to hundreds of sheets across every discipline, and the QA pass on it is a senior person with a checklist and the hours left before the deadline. They work the parts of the set they know bite, at the depth the clock allows. What they get to is checked properly. The rest goes out on the strength of their experience, which is the part of your practice you can least afford to spend this way.

Where the hours go

The pass costs senior hours, and still cannot reach the whole set

A 400-sheet issue gets whatever hours are left

Every revision starts the pass again from page one

The checks that span the whole set run on the sheets one person can hold

Where the capacity runs out

The bottleneck is human review capacity

Sheet count per issue has climbed for a decade and the QA pass is still one senior person reading between design reviews and client meetings. Their judgement is the scarce thing in the practice, and most of it goes into the mechanical half of the job - cross-referencing schedules, chasing a rating through the set, re-reading a revision from page one.

Introducing CIM

The whole set through QA on every issue, from concept design to issued for construction

With CIM, the whole pass runs on every issue, at the same depth each time. Findings come back cited to the sheet they sit on - a rating specified two ways, a schedule that disagrees with the plan, a duct through a beam - and your team spends its time clearing them.

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.”
