Clash detection and coordination services help in eliminating project complications Though there are various kinds of BIM services that are executed by modelers during early design phase but clash detection and coordination services have a sacred place in building construction. These services are known for eliminating all kinds of project complications that can take place due to various reasons such as inaccurate design. If project complications are handled ineffectively by design and construction professionals then it can have huge negative repercussions for the project in question.
Well complications are obvious in building projects as numerous teams are involved throughout the project lifecycle for developing a building. A variety of preconstruction services are executed by these teams and there are enormous chances that output produced by them may not match the way it should be. Hence, it becomes important to effectively analyze their output for carrying out seamless construction. Now what kind of output is produced by these teams? Well, the output may include 2D drawings for different disciplines along with 3D models. That means coordinating 3D models which are developed for architecture, structure and MEP is very important for finding out problems in the design.
So for sorting out project complications clash detection and coordination services are performed by design and construction professionals. In clash detection process, potential design clashes are identified which exist between multidiscipline elements. For example, architectural elements may clash with MEP elements due to the fact that same space is assigned by different modelers to their elements. So such kinds of design issues are successfully identified during clash detection which is performed in clash detective tool of Navisworks Manage. The countless design clashes that are identified by AEC professionals by conducting clash tests are rectified by implementing modifications in the design. Till the time all the design issues are sorted out clash detection process continues. When it is believed that all the design clashes are sorted out between multidiscipline models, design and construction professionals go ahead with coordination process. Various models are assembled together in Revit and a master model is developed from them, which is referred as composite building model. The composite building model which is developed after eliminating design clashes contains faultless data in it.
