Resolve conflicts in the model — not on the construction site.
Every hour spent resolving a construction conflict that could have been caught in the model costs 10x what it would have cost in design. Our clash detection and coordination service finds, prioritises, and resolves multidisciplinary conflicts in the model before they become expensive site delays — systematically, not occasionally.
Discuss Your ProjectAutomated clash runs identify hundreds of conflicts that manual coordination misses.
Every £1 spent on model coordination avoids £10–£20 in site rework and delay claims.
Structured coordination meetings with clear issue ownership and resolution tracking.
Combine all discipline models into a single federated Navisworks file.
Run automated clash tests with discipline-specific tolerance rules.
Coordination meeting: prioritise critical clashes and assign owners.
Track resolution, re-run clashes, and issue clearance certificates.

Common questions about our Clash Detection & Coordination service.
On a typical building project, first-pass automated clashes number in the thousands. After filtering duplicates and minor issues, 50–200 coordination-worthy conflicts remain per discipline interface — the exact number depends on model quality and project complexity.
Hard clashes are physical intersections between elements — two pipes occupying the same space. Soft clashes are proximity violations — elements too close for safe installation or maintenance access. We detect and classify both.
We primarily use Navisworks Manage for clash detection and ACC Coordination (BIM 360 Coordination) for issue tracking. We also use Solibri for rule-based checking where the project requires it.
Issues are logged in the CDE with a description, clash location, owner, and resolution deadline. We track resolution status weekly and re-run affected clash tests after each correction cycle to confirm clearance.
Yes — we can federate models from multiple authoring platforms including Revit, AutoCAD, Tekla, and IFC-based tools. The coordination workflow is the same regardless of the source format.
A clash clearance certificate is a formal document confirming that all critical and major clashes have been resolved prior to construction. We issue this at project coordination milestone dates and at final model freeze.
As early as LOD 200 — even schematic models reveal major routing conflicts that are cheap to resolve in design and expensive to fix on site. We recommend establishing a coordination protocol from the design development stage.
Both. We can run coordination meetings as the BIM coordinator, chairing issue review and assigning resolution ownership, or provide reports only to support your own coordinator. The level of involvement is agreed at project kick-off.
