Construction projects involve various levels of complexity, and in some cases, human errors, lack of coordination among stakeholders, or other factors can lead to mistakes that cause project delays, lower quality outcomes, and a decrease in overall profitability.
In the construction world, many of these interference issues between structural elements are known as clashes. In traditional construction, they occurred frequently—until the arrival of the BIM methodology and its powerful Clash Detection function.
What is BIM Clash Detection?
BIM Clash Detection is a feature that helps identify interferences between structural elements within a project during the modeling phase—that is, before construction begins. This prevents costly construction errors that could lead to technical issues or budget overruns.
Moreover, since the collaborative model is updated in real time, any clash can be detected early by all involved parties—from structural engineers to sanitary professionals and electrical technicians. It’s important to remember that BIM is not a magical system; it’s a working methodology that helps reduce errors through better coordination.
Benefits of Applying Clash Detection
- Reduction of changes during construction
- Minimizes conflicts or overlaps between systems
- Prevents errors, helping reduce execution time and cost overruns
- Less friction and better coordination between teams
