Outcome
Read every sheet against the code
Every sheet, every applicable clause, on every issue.
An assessment is hundreds of sheets across every discipline, and the fee assumed a senior assessor could read them once against the building code. In practice the read follows the checklist and the assessor's experience - the clauses that usually bite, on the sheets that usually carry them - and the rest is trusted.
CIM reads every drawing, specification and schedule against the clauses that apply to that element - fire, egress, access, energy, structure - on every issue, and returns each finding cited to the clause and the sheet it came from. The clauses nobody thought to check get read too.
Your team starts from the findings and writes the report, and the hours a full read costs are no longer the reason it did not happen.
Before CIM
- The read follows the checklist and the clauses that usually bite.
- Sheets outside the assessor's discipline are trusted.
- A full read of the set does not fit inside the fee.
With CIM
- Every sheet read against every applicable clause.
- Each finding cited to the clause and the sheet.
- The full read done in an hour, on every issue.
