Our Clash Detection BIM Services for Architects

Icon
Eagle BIM provides clash detection services which identifies conflicts where building elements architectural, structural, MEP-FP systems are interfering with each other in a 3D BIM model.

We run interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary clash detection to identify potential conflicts to reduce design errors and constructability issues which prevent expensive reworks, schedule delays, and on-site discrepancies.

Clash Detection Service

Our Services

Our Clash Detection Services

Our clash detection services aim to eliminate design conflicts of all major disciplines including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection before construction begins.

Architectural Clash Detection

Our architectural clash detection looks at walls, doors, windows, finishes, and other building elements to make sure they don’t interfere with structural or MEP systems.
Architectural Clash Detection

Structural Clash Detection

Our structural clash detection ensures these critical elements like beams, columns, slabs, and foundations don’t interfere with architectural features and building services.
Structural Clash Detection

Mechanical Clash Detection

Mechanical systems like HVAC ducts, chillers, air handling units, piping often run through tight spaces. We detect where they clash with beams, ceilings, walls, or other services.
Mechanical Clash Detection

Electrical Clash Detection

Our clash detection checks electrical trays, conduits, light fixtures, and equipment against the structure and other trades.
Electrical Clash Detection

Plumbing Clash Detection

Plumbing and drainage systems often weave through tight shafts and floors. We run clash checks on water supply lines, drainage pipes, vent systems, and fixtures to ensure they don’t interfere with beams, walls, or other MEP routes.
Plumbing Clash Detection

Fire Protection Clash Detection

Fire protection systems like sprinklers, fire pumps, risers, and alarm equipment are essential for safety but often overlooked until late. We make sure sprinkler heads align with ceiling designs, risers don’t clash with structure or MEP systems, and fire equipment is fully accessible.
Fire Protection Clash Detection

The Process of Clash Detection Services by Eagle BIM

At Eagle BIM, we believe the clash detection process should feel simple and transparent for our clients. Behind the scenes, it’s a detailed and structured workflow, but we keep it clear, so you always know what’s happening.
01

Setup and Planning

We align with project goals, BIM Execution Plan (BEP), Level of Details (LOD) for models, file formats, project schedules, reference points like grid and coordination zones etc.
02

Combine Models

We gather all discipline models like architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection. These combine into one federated model inside Navisworks which allows us to see all building elements and systems interact with each other.
03

Run Clash Detection

We run multiple clash detection both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in federated model which highlights hard clashes, soft clashes, clearance clashes and prioritizes them from most critical to less critical and assigns them to responsible stakeholder for resolution.
04

Coordination and Resolution

We bring identified clashes in BIM coordination meetings where clashes are discussed one by one, solutions are agreed upon, and necessary design adjustments are made. Any formal RFIs are documented.
05

Verification & Final Clash Report

Once all responsible stakeholders have adjusted their clashes, we re-run the clash detection to make sure conflicts are resolved. Once all clashes are closed, we deliver final coordinated BIM model and clash free reports.

Why choose

Eagle BIM for Clash Detection

Choosing the right BIM consultant for clash detection can make a lot of difference in success of project because at Eagle BIM, we don’t just identify clashes, we help solve them. Why you should choose us:

Reduce Rework Cost and Material Wastage

Every clash we catch in the model is one less surprise on the construction site. Fixing a conflict digitally costs almost nothing compared to tearing down walls, cutting pipes, or reordering materials in the field. This means real savings on both labor and materials.

Fewer Delays During Construction

On-site clashes often lead to stop-work situations while teams figure out a solution. By resolving these issues before construction begins, we keep your project moving forward without unnecessary downtime. Fewer clashes = fewer delays.

Better Coordination Between Trades

Our clash detection process creates a common ground where everyone can see potential conflicts and agree on solutions together. This reduces finger-pointing and keeps collaboration smooth.

Improved Safety and Compliance

Many clashes involve clearances for access, maintenance, or safety systems. By catching these early, we make sure equipment is installed correctly, and building codes are followed. Safer buildings come from smarter planning.

Peace of Mind with a Buildable Model

At the end of the process, you get a coordinated & clash-free model that you can trust. This gives you confidence that the design can actually be built as planned, without costly surprises during construction.

Cost Effective and Scalable BIM Support

Our flexible engagement model provide full time dedicated BIM support and project based assistance which save cost, help in scale up businesses without compromising quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Clash Detection

Clash detection is the process of checking whether different building systems (like
architectural, structure, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire protection etc.) interfere with
each other in a 3D BIM model before construction begins. It spots conflicts so they
can be fixed during coordination meetings instead of on-site.

Clash detection is important because identifying and resolving clashes early can
save time, cost and deliver peace of mind to field teams. Fixing clashes on site is
expensive and it slow down the construction, therefore clash detection early reduce
material waste on site.

Hard Clashes – These are critical clashes where one element or equipment is
interfering with another like duct going through beam.
Soft Clash – These are less critical and clearance clashes where elements don’t hit
each other but there are conflicts related to space utilization, buffer for maintenance,
code requirements etc.

Autodesk Navisworks, Revizto, Solibri Model Checker are some common tools for
clash detection that are widely accepted and used across AEC industries for small to
large complex projects.
