Our Clash Detection Services
At Stonehaven, we execute advanced MEP & BIM Clash Detection to identify and resolve design conflicts before construction begins. Our 3D clash analysis ensures that structural, MEP, and architectural elements are fully coordinated, minimising errors and costly rework, which leads to better project outcomes.
Our Clash Detection Services
Using state-of-the-art Navisworks and Revit clash detection workflows, we detect hard and soft clashes within complex building systems. Whether you are working on commercial developments, luxury villas, or large-scale infrastructure projects, our experts help you prevent on-site conflicts, streamlining your project timelines.
55% Clash Reduction
BIM coordination tools reduce MEP clashes by up to 55% during design and preconstruction phases.
80% Time Saved
Automated clash detection in BIM speeds up design review and coordination by up to 80%.
41% Lower Rework Costs
BIM reduces rework-related costs by 41%, especially through early clash identification.
89% Faster Resolution
BIM-based MEP coordination resolves on-site clashes 89% faster than traditional methods.
Detect, Resolve, and Build Smart
Ensure your design is integrated and error-free before construction begins
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the clash detection process?
Clash detection identifies conflicts between architectural, structural, and MEP elements in a BIM model before construction starts. The process involves model integration, automated clash testing, issue resolution, and verification to ensure all your elements fit correctly. Stonehaven uses clash detection to prevent costly errors and delays on your projects.
Who is responsible for clash detection in BIM?
The BIM Coordinator or BIM Manager leads clash detection, ensuring architects, engineers, and contractors resolve design conflicts before construction. MEP, structural, and design consultants work together to fix clashes and improve coordination. Stonehaven’s BIM team can manage clash detection to ensure seamless project execution.
Why is clash detection important?
Clash detection prevents costly rework, reduces delays, improves efficiency, and ensures compliance with building regulations. By catching conflicts early, it helps you save time and money, enhances collaboration, and leads to better project planning. Stonehaven applies clash detection to deliver a smooth, error-free construction process.
Which software is best for clash detection?
Autodesk Navisworks is the leading clash detection tool, offering detailed analysis, reporting, and model coordination. Other tools include Revit for interference checks. Stonehaven uses these advanced BIM tools for clash detection and resolution requirements.
What is MEP clash detection?
MEP clash detection identifies conflicts in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems within a BIM model. It ensures ducts, pipes, and cables do not interfere with structural or architectural components, avoiding on-site issues. Stonehaven applies MEP clash detection to coordinate your building efficiently.
What is an example of clash detection?
A common example is when an HVAC duct runs through a structural beam, causing a design conflict. Clash detection software highlights this issue, allowing your engineers to adjust layouts before construction. Stonehaven resolves such clashes early to ensure smooth installations and prevent costly rework on your project.
What is a clash detection report?
A clash detection report documents all identified conflicts, showing their locations, severity, and recommended fixes. It helps your project teams prioritise resolutions and track progress until the clashes are cleared. Stonehaven provides detailed clash reports to help teams coordinate and deliver error-free projects.
How does clash detection improve project coordination?
Clash detection enhances project coordination by ensuring all design disciplines—architectural, structural, and MEP—are aligned within a BIM model. By identifying and resolving clashes early, it prevents costly modifications during construction. Stonehaven’s clash detection services can improve coordination, ensuring smoother project execution.
