Clash Detection Services
We offer comprehensive clash detection and reporting services for each model, identifying the quantity and types of clashes along with detailed information on clash locations across various trades and disciplines, including Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Sprinkler, and other building management systems.
Delivering Accurate and Reliable Clash Detection Services for Design, Trade, and Composite Models
Our clash detection services, powered by Autodesk Navisworks, are designed to identify interdisciplinary clashes and interferences for Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) projects. We generate detailed clash reports tailored to client requirements, highlighting clashes between elements, their locations, and categorizing them as C3 (Critical), C2 (Moderate), or C1 (Low).
Our services effectively identify and resolve unacceptable clashes within individual disciplines—including Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Sprinklers, Security Systems, and more—as well as across disciplines. This ensures that each model is prepared for integration into a composite or coordinated model, essential for successful VDC implementation.
With extensive expertise in BIM clash detection, we excel at pinpointing critical conflicts that could significantly impact cost and schedule during construction. Our services empower general contractors, construction management firms, and project owners to make informed strategic decisions regarding design changes and change orders.
BIM Clash Detection Services
-
![Clash Report Generation]()
Clash Report Generation
Provide a clash report dashboard that highlights both soft and hard clashes and displays progress over time. This dashboard should be prepared for a gatekeeper meeting with MEP engineers, architects, general contractors, designers, and building owners.
-
![Soft & Hard Clash Detection]()
Soft & Hard Clash Detection
Identify and resolve both soft and hard clashes within each discipline/trade—architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing—that were not detected during the individual design phases of each discipline.
-
![Architectural Clash Detection]()
Architectural Clash Detection
Detect architectural clashes by analyzing interactions between the architectural discipline and other fields, including Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Sprinklers, and others. Generate a comprehensive clash report that highlights these conflicts, providing details on their locations and the disciplines involved.
-
![Electrical Clash Detection]()
Electrical Clash Detection
Detect electrical clashes by examining interactions between the electrical discipline and other disciplines, such as Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire Sprinklers, and more. Create a detailed clash report that outlines these conflicts, including their specific locations and the associated disciplines.
-
![Structural Clash Detection]()
Structural Clash Detection
Detect structural clashes by analyzing the interactions between the structural discipline and other fields, including Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Sprinklers, and others. Produce a comprehensive clash report that details these conflicts, specifying their locations and the disciplines involved.
-
![Plumbing Clash Detection]()
Plumbing Clash Detection
Identify plumbing clashes by assessing interactions between the plumbing discipline and other areas, such as Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Sprinklers, and more. Generate a detailed clash report that outlines these conflicts, including their specific locations and the relevant disciplines involved.
Our BIM Coordination Process
-
Load BIM Template
Load BIM template based on the client’s standards for each of the listed trades: architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing & sanitary, and fire protection.
-
Verify the Architectural Model
Verify/Check the coordinate of the Architectural model and Structural model with MEP models by using “Origin to Origin” positioning approach before linking them.
-
Prepare the BIM Model
Prepare the models for each discipline—Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing—and ensure all elements are included for coordination within the central file.
-
Run the Clash-detection
In Navisworks, when two models are coordinated and you click on “Run Test,” it generates a “Clash Report” detailing any clashes that occur between the coordinated models.
-
Review and Resolve Clashes
After resolving clashes, reload the cache in Navisworks to ensure that resolved clashes appear in yellow. Additionally, verify if any new clashes are displayed in red.
