02 CLASH VISUALIZATION Academic Work

The project was introduced as a class project in the postgraduation degree of building information modelling (BIM) with the primary objective of getting a deeper understanding of Naviswork, and Revit in the part of the Costing for different classes of budgeting, Estimating a commercial construction project, Scheduling and simulating the construction schedule of a commercial project using BIM software and Create Clash Detection Reports and coordinate the clashes.

. To give an overview of the tools and processes covered in it was a basic understanding of estimation, MasterFormat and UniFormat, In Naviswork how the sets are created, in search, selection sets and quantification in Naviswork with the help of Revit and quantity provided from Naviswork to get an overall idea about the amount of it with the cost as per the industry. Further, scheduling of the whole project from start to finish was performed and linking it with each element in Naviswork which was linked to the schedule of the elements to be constructed on-site, as per the quantity, labour and time required for curing thus getting the 5D BIM goal.

In future projects, I performed clash detection of the building which had architecture, structural and MEP models. Performing visual clash of model and annotating the error and further using clash detection in Naviswork where the clashing model of Architecture with structure, structure with MEP and MEP with architecture on individual levels at the different floor and demarking the error and sorting it according to the error issue and how it can be resolved on-site or there is the requirement for change in the model by coordination with other field people.

The model and schedule showcase the quantity takeoff that is exporting the quantity required for the structure from Naviswork to excel and further scheduling the elements such as foundation, beam, columns and etc. as per the time required for construction of formwork, rebar and concrete as per the Production speed for the task.

It is the clash detection done through Naviswork between the structural and M.E.P. part of the building, it showcases the MEP passing through the structural wall and staircase, which can cause major changes on site.

This provides clash detection between the Architectural and MEP elements of the building, due to this there should be some changes which can be made in advance such as plumbing and mechanical, whereas, some can be executed on-site itself, however a note need to be made for them in advance.
