CIM Build: Automated Design Risk Intelligence
Control the cost of change. Catch design risks early so cost blowouts and delays never reach site and kill momentum.
About CIM Build
CIM Build is a construction risk intelligence platform purpose-built for general contractors and developers. Founded by a team of artificial intelligence researchers with deep construction domain expertise, we transform how teams identify and manage design risks before they become cost overruns.
Our platform leverages advanced machine learning to automatically analyze project documentation - drawings, specifications, and contracts - detecting inconsistencies, scope changes, and coordination gaps that traditionally take days to uncover manually.
Core Capabilities
Automated Design Risk Detection
Scan thousands of pages across drawings and specifications to identify conflicts, ambiguities, and missing information that create claim exposure.
Real-Time Change Monitoring
Track design evolution from tender to construction, automatically flagging modifications and assessing their downstream impact on scope, cost, and schedule.
Cross-Discipline Coordination Analysis
Detect gaps between structural, MEP, and architectural documentation before they surface as RFIs or coordination delays on site.
Variation Claim Evidence Packaging
Build bulletproof audit trails with timestamped documentation showing exactly when scope changed and what was affected.
Procurement Risk Flagging
Identify incomplete or conflicting documentation before releasing procurement packages, preventing costly mid-stream clarifications.
What We Deliver
1
Design Risk Dashboard
A prioritized, quantified view of all design inconsistencies, gaps, and change impacts across your project documentation - updated continuously as new information arrives.
2
Change Impact Reports
Automated analysis showing how design modifications affect cost, schedule, and downstream trades—with evidence-backed narratives ready for client or claim submissions.
3
Coordination Gap Alerts
Real-time notifications when consultant designs conflict with subcontractor shop drawings or when disciplines are out of sync, enabling early intervention.
Use Cases: Where CIM Build Protects Your Margin
Construction teams deploy CIM Build at critical decision gates where design uncertainty creates financial exposure. Here's where our platform delivers measurable commercial impact:
Tender vs. Contract Analysis
Commercial Impact: Critical (Highest)
Target User: Estimator / Design Manager
Identify "silent" scope creep between the priced tender set and the signed contract set. Catch additions, modifications, and clarifications that weren't priced but are now contractually required—before mobilization begins.
Novation "Health Check"
Commercial Impact: High
Target User: Design Manager
Audit inherited design risks before accepting design liability in design-and-construct projects. Surface incomplete designs, ambiguous specifications, and coordination gaps in the novated package before you own the consequences.
Variation Defense
Commercial Impact: Medium-High
Target User: Project Manager / Contract Administrator
Prove that a "design clarification" is actually a "scope change" to justify variation claims. Build irrefutable evidence trails showing when requirements shifted and what documentation supports your position.
Consultant vs. Sub-trade Gap
Commercial Impact: Medium
Target User: Design Manager
Ensure consultant designs align with subcontractor shop drawings before fabrication begins. Detect discrepancies between the mechanical engineer's intent and the HVAC sub's proposed installation early enough to avoid rework.
