Description:
A process in which Collision control software is used during the coordination process to determine field conflicts by comparing Disciplinary 3d models . The goal of clash detection is to eliminate the major disciplinary conflicts prior to construction.
Potential Value:
- Coordinate construction project through a model
- Reduce and eliminate field conflicts; which reduces RFI’s significantly
- Visualize construction
- Increase productivity
- Reduced construction cost; potentially less cost growth (i.e. less change orders)
- Decrease construction time
- Increase productivity on site
- Models become more accurate to construct from
Resources Required:
- Design Authoring Software
- Model Review Software
- 3D disciplinary models
Team Competencies Required:
- Ability to deal with people and project challenges
- Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review a 3D model
- Knowledge of BIM model applications
- Knowledge of building systems.
