Speed-up Your Construction Projects Using Clash Detection and BIM Coordination

Clash detection and BIM coordination services are exchangeable expressions in the construction industry. Both are very crucial and regarded as essential for any construction design to provide you the complete accuracy without any clashes in 3D BIM models. 

Clash detection and BIM coordination is the process of identifying collisions or clashes and meddling of multi-discipline objects. BIM coordination services are an important design decisive factor and method used in construction projects to present better alliances to get an accurate digital representation amongst all three controls of any construction project within the design phase. Eshia performs these processes in Revit and Navisworks. Both the software assist us in identifying clashes in a 3D environment and through our multi-disciplined technical expertise, we provide resolution to these clashes that ensure functionality and technical design integrity.

Clash coordination is the progression of resolution of clashes and interferences to achieve maximum feasibility and proper functionality of those objects. Clash detection service is the initial stage in the BIM coordination process that determines the clashes by getting precise interferences to verify reports that are very essential for the BIM model. Extraction reports verify whether the clashes are hard or soft. These extracting clash reports assist to verify the level of interference between architects, structural, and MEP engineer’s disciplines and help in making a distinction between clashes, whether severe and routine.

Engineers and contractors can perform clash detection and determine clashes and authenticate the designs without any compliance problems. BIM coordination meetings are held with designers and consultants if the clash coordination causes any change in the design. This makes sure that all the stakeholders find a single window to understand and approve the alterations and there are no conflicts in resolving the clashes. Remodeling the BIM-model resolves the soft clashes but you need to understand properly about the hard clashes that must be resolved by expert engineers.

The outstanding option to validate designs through clash detection is the 3D BIM Revit model.  The Revit model has the potential to generate clash schedules.  Navisworks being easily understandable to most of the companies prefer it for performing clash detection and generating clash reports. Construction companies and MEP contractors usually prefer Navisworks because of its ease.

Eliminates Redundancy while Construction

The process of Clash detection and clash coordination in a virtual environment saves a lot of time during construction if followed properly. The superimposition of 3D BIM models onto each other ensures to perform clash detection and generate clash reports. The experienced team of professionals reviews these clashes between OneClick BIM and clients through coordination meetings. Then the suggested changes are incorporated before the actual construction takes place resulting in saving time for design consultants and sub-contractors.

Decreases Construction Costs

Unforeseen issues in managing the cost of construction were detected before the introduction of BIM. Situations like on-site clashes between disciplines were halting the construction for some time until the issues used to get resolved. Design changes are usually made over time to accommodate owner requests and organizing all stakeholders for the meeting is an intimidating task.

These types of issues get noticed regularly and lead to the extension of construction time. Coordinating clashes before starting the construction or during construction in advance helps in reducing construction costs and enhances construction administration.

Authenticate Design

Clash detection and clash coordination balance design validation by ensuring that designs are matched and coordinated with other disciplines. It achieves a greater synchronization between discipline designs.

Eshia has assisted enormous companies in validating designs by detecting and resolving clashes in the design and construction stages of a project.  If you are looking out for assistance to validate your designs or accelerate your construction projects by eliminating clashes, we are here to support through your complete journey of BIM.
