Outcome
Bid with confidence
Know the risk in the set before you commit a number.
Every bid you submit commits the business to a number. When the set it's priced on has gaps - peripheral scope, a spec conflict, a note buried on page 47 - that exposure doesn't surface until it's yours to carry. You're up against general contractors pricing the same incomplete set, and the one who misses the most tends to win the job they'll lose money on.
CIM reads the full bid set in under an hour - drawings against specs, schedules against drawings, prior revisions against the current set - and returns every gap and conflict cited to the source page. Your team prices what's actually there, carries a considered allowance where the risk is real, and sends the ambiguity that can't be priced back to the owner as an RFI or a qualification.
The same review runs on every bid, whichever estimator it lands with, so the risk position behind each number is one your directors can see and interrogate before it goes out. You put the company's name to more work and win the jobs you can actually deliver on.
Before CIM
- Scope gaps surface after the number's committed - and they're yours to carry.
- How deep the review goes depends on which estimator had time.
- Ambiguity gets a guess baked into the price, or missed entirely.
With CIM
- Gaps and spec conflicts surfaced before you submit, cited to the page.
- The same rigorous read on every bid.
- A risk position your directors can see behind every number.
