Scope risk management
The gaps in your documents come back as claims
Whatever your bid set leaves open, your builder prices as risk or claims later as a change order. CIM reads the set before it goes to market - drawings against specifications, one discipline against another - and flags what is missing while it is still yours to fix.
Trusted by leading Australian builders
“CIM Build pointed to new opportunities to de-risk project documentation and procurement.”
Where the exposure starts
Every developer pays for the same gaps
You commission the design, issue it to market, and sign a contract that fixes a price against it. From that moment every ambiguity in the set has a value, and the builder is the one who decides what that value is. A detail that stops short, a specification covering two conditions, a discipline never reconciled against another - each comes back as a change order claim, a delay, or a contingency quietly loaded into the price you already accepted.
Where it costs you
You fund the gaps, one claim at a time
What your builder cannot price gets loaded into the number
Assessing a claim from memory means paying to be sure
The gap in your risk register
The bottleneck is human review capacity
Every revision lands as hundreds of sheets, and one person reads them between board papers and site meetings. The gaps slip past the desk and come back as claims you have no basis to refuse, while review capacity stays flat and the project budget absorbs the difference.

Under the hood
How Construction Intelligence Management Is Built
Seven floors, built to house your project intelligence.
What your estimators priced, what your team assumed and every revision since all live in here. The stack runs on its own, on every revision that lands, and brings your team what it finds. Keep scrolling - the tower comes apart floor by floor.
Outcomes
You stop paying twice for the same missing detail.
The set you issue read end to end before it goes to market
The contract set held as a baseline, every revision compared to it
Their design checked against your brief, clause by clause
A dated record behind every claim you certify
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.”

Former NSW Building Commissioner
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.”
