Our Mission:


At CIM, our vision is to help teams run better buildings with ease, for a sustainable future. We focus on simplifying complex building data and technology, making it accessible and actionable for building owners and operators, thereby directly contributing to the fight against the climate crisis.


Our clients include real estate investment trusts, super funds, governments, major cultural institutions, airports, hospitals, hotels and engineering firms.


The built environment is one of the most significant contributors to climate change, accounting for over 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Over half of these emissions are generated by operational activities, which our software PEAK helps reduce by enabling property operations teams to work smarter and more collaboratively.
