Clash Detection Explained: How BIM Prevents On-Site Issues
On construction sites, it’s nothing new for work to suddenly grind to a halt because ductwork is clashing with a beam. Or perhaps, a plumbing line is overlapping with electrical conduits. Then follow the flares in tempers, stretching of deadlines, and the beginning of blame games. What was supposed to be smooth progress turns into costly rework, wasted materials, and frustrated teams.
Why BIM Coordination is Critical for Multi-Trade Construction Projects
Every contractor has been there: finding clashes too late, dealing with drawings that don’t match what’s actually on site, and watching trades get in each other’s way. These coordination problems are common in multi-trade projects, but they don’t have to be. Poor coordination can turn a construction job into a nightmare, especially when several trades are involved. Most general contractors, project managers, or MEP contractors can share a story about a project that went sideways because the teams weren’t working together.
