In construction, even a small error can lead to major delays or costly rework. That’s why clash detection is one of the most powerful features of Building Information Modeling (BIM). It helps identify design conflicts early—before they turn into on-site disasters.
🔍 What is Clash Detection?
Clash detection is the process of identifying conflicts where components from different disciplines (architectural, structural, MEP) interfere with each other. For example:
A duct running through a beam
Plumbing colliding with electrical lines
A sprinkler head blocked by a false ceiling element
At Falcon BIM, we use advanced coordination software like Navisworks Manage to run clash tests and create issue reports for resolution.
💸 Why Clash Detection Matters
Saves Cost: Resolving clashes digitally is 10x cheaper than fixing them on-site.
Saves Time: Reduces rework, RFIs, and back-and-forth during construction.
Improves Communication: All stakeholders work from a coordinated model.
Boosts Confidence: Helps win approvals from clients and authorities faster.
🏗️ Real Results
In a recent commercial tower project, our clash detection services helped reduce critical design conflicts by 85%, shaving weeks off the construction schedule.
