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 design risk management platform purpose-built for design-build builders. Founded by a team of AI researchers and ex-project managers with 10+ years of experience, CIM transforms how teams identify and manage design risks.
Our platform leverages advanced AI agents 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
PPR vs Drawings
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.
Spec to Drawing Clashes
Detect gaps between structural, MEP, and architectural documentation before they surface as RFIs or coordination delays on site.
What We Deliver
Assistant
Your Design Intelligence Chatbot
Ask questions like “Where are the fire-rated wall details for Level 3?” or “What interfaces involve the chiller plant?” and get targeted responses with references to specific pages and sections.
Review
Automated Risk Audits
The Review capability lets you absorb new or updated documentation into CIM’s risk model automatically, so your next audit always reflects the latest scope and design intent.
Compare
Identify Changes Between Revisions
Compare ingests every new or updated drawing, specification, and shop drawing, then automatically detects differences between revisions across all disciplines.
Use Cases: Where CIM Protects Your Margin
Construction teams deploy CIM at critical decision gates where design uncertainty creates financial exposure. Here's where our platform delivers measurable commercial impact:
Value Engineering
Target User: Estimating/Design Manager
Power value engineering by pinpointing cost‑heavy materials, methods, and interfaces that can be redesigned or re‑scoped for better cost–risk balance while preserving functional intent.
Protect the Critical Path
Target User: Project Manager / Contract Administrator
Use earlier design‑risk detection to protect the critical path by surfacing buildability, coordination, and approval risks on critical activities early enough that you can redesign, resequence, or add targeted buffers before they turn into programme‑slipping delays.
Better Tender Pricing
Target User: Estimator / Design Manager
By detecting design risks early, contractors can quantify issues like incomplete documentation, buildability problems, and likely variations, then set tighter contingencies that enable more competitive pricing without increasing the risk of underpricing.
Meet the Team
Jacky Wong, CEO
Jacky was an early founding engineer at Relevance AI and Head of AI at Nullify AI, which have raised over $50 million from Bessemer Venture Partners and Insight Partners.
Jacky ranks in the top 1% of competitors in international AI challenges. His technical expertise in natural language processing and computer vision directly powers CIM Build's ability to understand complex construction documentation at scale.
Kevin Le, Chief Construction Officer
Kevin brings over a decade of hands-on experience as a project manager at general contractors, where he managed multi-disciplinary teams on design-build projects. He's lived the pain of manual design reviews, late-discovery coordination issues, and documentation-driven disputes.
Kevin's construction domain expertise ensures CIM Build solves real problems in workflows that actually exist on site. He bridges the gap between what's technically possible and what construction teams genuinely need to protect margins and reduce risk exposure.
Data Security & Risk Controls
Construction projects involve sensitive commercial information, intellectual property, and competitive intelligence. CIM Build is architected with enterprise-grade security controls to protect your data at every layer.
Encryption
All project data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS 1.3. No client project information is shared across organizations—your data remains completely isolated.
Access Control
Role-based access controls ensure team members only see what they need. Single Sign-On (SSO) support integrates with your existing identity systems. Comprehensive audit logs track all document access and modifications.
Data Residency
Our Australian infrastructure keeps your data onshore. We also offer US-based and regional hosting options to meet data sovereignty requirements for international projects.
Compliance
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications are currently in progress, demonstrating our commitment to industry-standard information security management and operational controls.
