BIM Clash Detection | BIM Coordination Services
Leverage high-performing Navisworks and REVIT to resolve your design clashes and perform multidisciplinary coordination
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a neoteric way of managing the construction process in a streamlined fashion. BIM has changed the approach with which new construction takes place. BIM offers excellent tools for carrying out the different construction phases efficiently and collaboratively with stakeholders. Some BIM capabilities are the easy defining scope of work, checking of constructability, defining the proper quantity takeoffs, smooth sequencing and scheduling, and real-time design development. One such exceptional capability of BIM is clash detection and resolution. A ‘clash’ in a design results from two elements taking the same spatial space or colliding. BIM 360 clash detection is the perfect way to resolve clashes collaboratively by utilizing BIM’s cloud-based capabilities.
BIM clash resolution – detect and rectify design clashes pre-construction to reduce scheduling delays utilizing the BIM clash detection process
We help you detect and resolve your design clashes. Clashes undetected during the designing phase can incur severe cost and time loss if presented during the construction phase
Spatial clashes and scheduling clashes are common in construction projects. As multidiscipline teams work on a single construction project, coordination errors are imminent. For example, imagine architects putting a frame wall where the structural engineer has decided to put the concrete slab or structural engineers putting a precast slab where MEP engineers have agreed to put the electrical panel. These types of errors can be costly and can cause schedule delays. A clash is defined as the coexistence of multidiscipline elements in the same geometrical space or a schedule-based clash where elements do not exist sequentially. We at Silicon Engineering Consulatns LLC leverage Navisworks clash detection workflow and REVIT to help you resolve your design clashes expeditiously. We help you with MEP BIM clash detection, architectural clash detection, structural clash detection, HVAC clash detection, and multidisciplinary BIM coordination.
Resolve hard, soft, and workflow clashes in a streamlined fashion – Let us help you coordinate your construction design through BIM
We help you resolve three significant design clashes: hard, soft, and workflow. We use REVIT and Navisworks to carry out the clash detection process
We at Silicon Engineering Consultants LLC offer high-standard BIM clash detection services and help you produce BIM clash detection reports for each domain of the multidiscipline BIM model. In addition, we provide clear details on the number of clashes and the precise clash locations while respecting the building system hierarchy. As a result, clash detection services expedite your construction experience while providing a total clash-free and coordinated design experience.
Three significant clashes we detect and resolve in your designs and 3D BIM models :
Soft Clash
Soft clashes indicate low geometric tolerance for an element in the design. For example, it means there is little to no space surrounding the element/system or no respectful buffer zone around the element/system in the design. Soft clashes can incur unforeseen delays during the construction phase due to the inability to work on or around the element after its installation.
Hard Clash
When two or more elements or components coexist in the same spatial setup, a Hard clash occurs. In simple words, a hard clash happens when two or more elements collide with each other or occupy the same space in the design. The components can be of but are not limited to multidiscipline. The most common example of hard clash is when MEP piping passes through a structural wall or ductwork across beams.
Workflow Clash/4D Clash
Workflow clashes though not object clashes, can incur schedule delays if not kept in check. A workflow clash appears when there is inconsistent planning of scheduling and sequencing on the construction site. For example, the HVAC team schedule occurs concurrently with the MEP team. Workflow clash detection aims to identify conflicts in material acquisition, construction scheduling, and other construction workflow timelines.
We follow meticulously derived BIM clash detection workflow to provide efficient 3D BIM clash detection that helps you attain a streamlined construction experience for better significant ROIs in your construction project.
With exceptional REVIT and Navisworks capabilities – REVIT BIM Clash Detection with beneficial insights and outputs
Our dedicated, experienced team utilizes REVIT and Navisworks capabilities to detect and rectify design clashes and to create a coordinated BIM model
Our team works relentlessly to attain a perfect clash-free BIM model for your construction project. We meticulously work with REVIT and Navisworks to resolve design clashes and to perform multidisciplinary coordination of BIM models. Clash detection REVIT offers powerful tools to simulate the conflict and its effects on the overall building design. BIM clash detection through REVIT offers specific pre-defined rules and automation that detects simple design conflicts. Moreover, our team makes sure any other complex clashes are rectified concurrently.
BIM coordination services – prevent interdisciplinary clashes and streamline BIM model integration
BIM coordination is the workflow of coordinating the multidiscipline BIM model, which resonates internally with different disciplines in the BIM model
Silicon Engineering Consultants LLC uses the advanced capabilities of Navisworks and REVIT to coordinate distinct domains of engineering presented in the BIM model. The multidiscipline model includes structural, architecture, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and HVAC subsystems. In addition, we offer MEP clash detection, MEP coordination drawings, BIM MEP coordination, and MEP coordination shop drawings extracted from REVIT-coordinated BIM models. In addition, we provide expeditious MEP Coordination Services throughout the USA with curated prices. We also produce coordinated drawings that facilitate on-site construction through our BIM coordination drawings services.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the BIM clash detection matrix?A clash detection matrix is a table defining the building systems hierarchy and related clashes in the system. The clash detection matrix is generally created in a spreadsheet. The table contains the numerical order in which clash detection occurs. A clash detection matrix allows the project team or BIM coordinator to make quick decisions on which element of a system needs resolution compared to other systems. Further detailed BIM clash detection matrix is created for big or complex projects.
-
What is the BIM clash report, and how is it produced?Clash report BIM or clash detection report (CDR) documents geometric conflicts between the building systems. The basis of clash detection is through a 3D comparison of building systems in the BIM environment. The report is generated after the complete examination of building systems. The derived information is documented following a universal standard. The clash report contains the project name, clash ID, clash title, clash test, clash level, date created, and other auxiliary information that facilitate the resolution. A template of the clash detection report is shown below.
