About Construction Inspection Management

Construction Inspection Management (CIM) is a comprehensive quality assurance and oversight service that goes beyond traditional testing and inspection. While AEIS has long been a trusted partner in delivering Special Inspections, Non-Destructive Testing, and Construction Materials Testing, our CIM services are designed to embed us earlier in the project lifecycle—allowing us to collaborate more closely with Construction Managers, Program Managers, and Owner Agencies.

AEIS’s CIM offering delivers end-to-end field management and inspection oversight that ensures construction execution aligns with design intent, specifications, and governing codes. This involvement enables more effective issue resolution, improved compliance, better documentation, and proactive coordination.
