Our Mission:

At CIM, our product vision is to help teams run better buildings with ease, for a sustainable future.

Our clients include real estate investment trusts, super funds, governments, major cultural institutions and property owners who operate offices, shopping centres, airports, and other commercial spaces. 

The built environment is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, accounting for almost 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
