Solution
Revision tracking
See what changed between issues, clouded or not.
Reissued sets land without clouds on them. A slab level moves, a hob shifts, a step-down appears, a note changes, and the transmittal says nothing about any of it. Your team either re-checks the whole set sheet by sheet or takes it on faith that the consultant clouded their own work.
CIM puts two issues side by side and draws a box around each change - dimensions, levels, step-downs, details, hatching and text. Drawn elements and written ones both. A comparison that runs to a day by hand comes back in minutes, and every change flows into a register with the sheet and the revision attached.
That register is what turns a change into a change order you can substantiate. Each item carries the revision it arrived in and what it was priced against, so the scope you are entitled to gets claimed while the notice window is still open.
Before CIM
- Unclouded changes surface on site, or in the final payment application.
- A full re-check of every sheet each time a set reissues.
- The change register is kept by hand, when there is time.
With CIM
- Two issues compared in minutes, every change boxed on the sheet.
- Unclouded consultant edits picked up along with everything else.
- A change register carrying the source sheet and revision on each item.
