Clash Coordination
Our Clash Coordination services identify and resolve design conflicts across multiple disciplines, ensuring a clash-free BIM model. Using advanced coordination tools, we detect clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP systems and provide detailed reports for resolution. Our team manages the clash coordination process, enabling smooth collaboration among stakeholders and ensuring that all design elements align seamlessly before construction.
We streamline the coordination process by conducting regular clash detection and resolution sessions, ensuring that all design issues are identified early in the project lifecycle. Our team facilitates communication between disciplines to resolve clashes efficiently, reducing the risk of costly delays and rework. By leveraging tools like Navisworks, BIM Collaborate Pro, Solibri and others, we provide accurate and actionable insights to achieve a fully coordinated model.
Our Clash Coordination Workflow
Data Integration & Model Setup
- Collect discipline-specific BIM models (architecture, structure, MEP, and other trades).
- Align models with s hared coordinates, levels, and project BIM execution plan (BEP).
- Establish worksets and linking strategies for multi-discipline coordination in Revit.
Clash Detection & Analysis in Navisworks
- Aggregate federated models in Autodesk Navisworks.
- Run clash detection tests between:
- MEP vs. Structure (e.g., ducts clashing with beams)
- MEP vs. Architecture (e.g., piping interfering with walls or ceilings)
- Structural vs. Architectural (e.g., column misalignment, slab penetrations)
- Interdisciplinary Clashes (e.g., mechanical and electrical conflicts)
- Classify clashes as hard, soft, and workflow-based conflicts for prioritized resolution.
Clash Review & Issue Resolution
- Generate clash reports with identified conflicts, their severity, and proposed solutions.
- Conduct clash coordination meetings with stakeholders using Navisworks, BIM Collaborate Pro, Solibri, or Revizto.
- Apply clash resolution strategies, including:
- Re-routing MEP services to avoid structural obstructions.
- Adjusting ceiling heights and soffits to accommodate HVAC systems.
- Aligning penetrations with structural beams and slabs.
- Modifying wall openings and access points for equipment clearance.
BIM Model Updates & Validation
- Implement clash resolution changes in Revit models.
- Conduct re-clash detection cycles to ensure all issues are resolved.
- Deliver coordinated, clash-free BIM models for construction and fabrication.
4D Construction Sequencing
- Simulate installation sequences in Navisworks to validate constructability.
- Optimize logistics, prefabrication, and on-site assembly planning.
Deliverables
- Clash Reports - Detailed reports highlighting detected clashes and resolution status.
- Issue Tracking Logs - Documentation of coordination progress.
- Federated BIM Models - Fully coordinated, clash-free models ready for construction.
- Updated 2D Drawings - Adjusted layouts, sections, and elevations post-coordination.
- Construction Sequencing Plans - Optimized installation sequences.
