BIM Coordination & Clash Detection

BIM coordination and clash detection: federating discipline models, rule-based checking and tracking every conflict through to sign-off.

Coordination does not mean finding clashes. It means working through them until none is open.

How it runs

  • Federating the discipline models into a coordination model
  • Rule-based checking for geometric and technical conflicts
  • Assessment: what is a real conflict, what is a modelling artefact
  • Raised as an issue, tracked through to closure
  • A record for each coordination round

The part usually missing

The assessment. An unfiltered check returns thousands of hits, most of them irrelevant. A list nobody works through is as good as no check at all.
