What does Clash Detection include?
Clash Detection is a process for identifying, analyzing and preventing conflicts between different project models in a digital environment. It checks the compatibility between architecture, structure, building systems, equipment and other elements of the building before construction begins.
IPA - Architecture and more uses Clash Detection as part of BIM coordination for architectural, engineering, infrastructure and mixed-use projects. The process helps identify physical clashes, spatial inconsistencies, coordination issues between disciplines and potential difficulties during construction.
Clash checks are carried out on coordinated BIM models and allow conflicts to be detected at an early design stage. This reduces the risk of changes during construction, delays, additional costs and unclear responsibilities between the participants in the process.
Clash Detection supports better communication between architects, engineers, consultants, contractors and investors. The results of the checks can be used to refine design decisions, coordinate disciplines and improve quality control throughout the project.
The service is directly connected with BIM modeling, engineering design, architectural design, time and budget forecasting with 4D and 5D BIM, Reality Capture and Scan-to-BIM, as well as design process management. When Clash Detection is applied at the right stage, the project becomes clearer, better coordinated and less exposed to technical inconsistencies during construction.
