CIM Build transforms the way construction teams work with project documents. You upload your PDF drawings and specifications — architectural, structural, MEP, and more — and the platform’s AI pipelines process them automatically to detect design risks, identify clashes between disciplines, track changes across revisions, and check compliance against your specifications. Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of pages, you get structured, actionable insight the moment processing completes.

How it works

CIM Build follows a straightforward workflow that mirrors how construction projects actually progress:
  1. Upload your drawings and documents as a Tender Set, Contract Set, or Revision.
  2. Process the revision set — CIM Build splits, analyses, and indexes every page.
  3. Set a contract baseline to lock in the issued-for-construction drawing set.
  4. Run analysis — the Risk Register, Change Register, Clash Analysis, and Audit Checklist all operate against the processed documents.
  5. Interrogate your project using AI Chat, asking questions in plain language about any drawing or specification.

Key features

FeatureWhat it does
Risk RegisterSurfaces AI-detected design risks — compliance gaps, missing details, and coordination issues — grouped by severity and workstream.
Change RegisterCompares drawing revisions against the contract baseline to identify what has changed and flag potential scope impacts.
Clash AnalysisDetects conflicts between disciplines (e.g. structural versus MEP) across your drawing set.
Audit ChecklistRuns structured compliance checks derived from your specifications and project quality gates.
AI ChatLets you query your drawings and specifications in natural language, with @ mention support for specific files.
Specification complianceExtracts requirements from your spec documents and cross-references them against the drawing set.
