BIM Clash Detection Services to Mitigate Errors and Facilitate Efficient Coordination

BIMPRO provides BIM clash detection services across the USA to architects, MEP engineers, and construction teams, helping them make sure building designs are clash-free before construction begins. We have delivered our services in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, California, Washington, New York, Chicago, Georgia, New Jersey, Boston, and Florida, among many other locations.

Our MEP clash detection services identify MEP clashes with the building’s other disciplines and help MEP contractors, consultants, and coordinators improve coordination between designers, general contractors, and trade contractors.

We generate clash reports that help project teams analyze potential clashes and make corrective decisions, so every building component and system works together, avoiding costly delays and rework.

What we do

Our Clash Detection Services in USA

We offer clash detection services in the USA to firms across the AEC industry, including architectural design, MEP design, structural design, MEP subcontracting, general contracting, and construction management.

BIM Clash Detection

Interdisciplinary BIM clash detection and clash report generation for every design and construction team member involved in the project.

MEP Clash Detection

Multiple MEP clash runs across HVAC/mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems to remove conflicts before installation.

Clash Report Generation

Accurate clash reports with viewpoints, locations, and responsible trades, so stakeholders can analyze each conflict and resolve it quickly.

Structural & Architectural Clash Checks

Checking beams, columns, slabs, walls, and ceilings against MEP routing to catch penetrations, headroom issues, and framing conflicts early.

Clearance & Soft-Clash Analysis

Rules for proximity, access, and maintenance clearances that find soft clashes a simple hard-clash run would miss.

Coordinated Federated Models

All resolved clashes documented in a final coordinated (federated) model, ready for shop drawings and field installation.

Not Sure Where to Start with Clash Detection?

Send us your Revit, Navisworks, IFC, or CAD models. We will review them, recommend a clash test plan, and send a detailed quote within 24 hours.

Navisworks Coordination

Multi-Trade Clash Detection Using Autodesk Navisworks

Clash detection only adds value when the right tests are run against the right models. We combine your architectural, structural, and MEP-FP models into one federated Navisworks model and set up a clash matrix that matches how your project will be built.

We check for three kinds of conflicts:

Hard clashes: two elements occupying the same space, such as a duct running through a beam
Soft clashes: violations of clearance, access, or maintenance zones around equipment
Workflow clashes: sequencing and installation conflicts between trades

Every clash is grouped, prioritized, and assigned to the responsible trade, with saved viewpoints so your team can see exactly where the issue is. This keeps coordination meetings short and focused on decisions, not on finding problems.

Our clash detection work supports wider BIM coordination services and follows the project’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and LOD requirements.

Before & After

See the Difference Clash Detection Makes

The images show the same MEP area of one of our projects before and after clash detection. Catching these conflicts in the model costs a fraction of fixing them in the field.

Before Clash Detection

Ducts, pipes, and conduits compete for the same ceiling space, which leads to field conflicts and rework.

After Clash Detection

After our clash runs and resolution cycles, every system has a clear, buildable route.

Less Rework

Avoid costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays.

Confident Prefabrication

Prefabricate with confidence, knowing routes are coordinated.

Clear Field Drawings

Give field crews clear, conflict-free installation drawings.

One Aligned Model

Keep architects, engineers, and trade contractors aligned on one model.

How it works

Process of Our Clash Detection Services in USA

We follow a streamlined process for clash detection and clash report generation, so you always know what is being tested, what was found, and how it was resolved.

Step 1

Create and Import 3D Models: We create or collect 3D models of every discipline (architectural, structural, MEP-FP, and other systems) and import them into clash detection software such as Navisworks.

Step 2

Define Clash Detection Rules: We set rules for proximity, clearances, and collision detection to identify potential clashes among building components.

Step 3

Run Clash Detection and Report: We run the clash tests and generate clash reports that show the location, severity, and responsible trade for each conflict.

Step 4

Resolve and Create the Federated Model: We update the design inputs, re-run clash detection until conflicts are addressed, and document every resolved clash in the final coordinated (federated) model.

Our process helps project teams find and fix conflicts before construction, avoiding costly delays and rework.

Reports & deliverables

Clash Reports Your Team Can Act On

A list of thousands of clashes doesn’t help anyone. We group duplicate and related clashes, filter out non-issues, and prioritize what matters, so each report gives your team a clear set of decisions to make.

Every deliverable is set up so architects, engineers, general contractors, and trade contractors can review issues quickly and track them through to resolution.

Our clash detection deliverables include:

Have Models Ready for Clash Detection?

Share your Revit, Navisworks, IFC, or CAD models. We will confirm the disciplines, clash tests, and timeline, then send a detailed quote within 24 hours. Every project is covered by an NDA.

Clash Detection for Design Teams

Architects and MEP and structural engineers use our clash detection during design development to catch conflicts while changes are still cheap. Regular clash runs between discipline models keep the design coordinated and reduce RFIs once the project reaches construction.

Clash Detection for Contractors & Trade Partners

General contractors, MEP subcontractors, and construction managers use our clash detection before fabrication and installation. Coordinated, clash-free trade models mean fewer field conflicts, more confident prefabrication, and a schedule that holds.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Clash Detection Services

What are BIM clash detection services?

BIM clash detection is the process of combining the 3D models of a building’s disciplines (architectural, structural, and MEP-FP) and automatically checking where they conflict. Clashes are identified, reported, and resolved in the model before construction, avoiding costly rework in the field.

What is the difference between hard and soft clashes?

A hard clash is when two elements physically occupy the same space, such as a pipe running through a beam. A soft clash is when an element violates a required clearance, access, or maintenance zone, such as a duct placed too close to an equipment service area. We test for both.

Which software do you use for clash detection?

We primarily use Autodesk Navisworks for clash detection and coordination, with models authored in Autodesk Revit. We can also work with IFC, AutoCAD, and other common formats, and can review issues in tools your team already uses.

What do I need to send you to get started?

Send us the discipline models you have (Revit, Navisworks, IFC, or CAD) and any project requirements such as the BIM Execution Plan or clearance standards. If you don’t have 3D models yet, we can create them from your drawings first through our CAD to BIM services.

What is included in your clash reports?

Our clash reports include grouped and prioritized clashes, saved viewpoints and locations, the disciplines involved, and the trade responsible for each resolution. We also provide the clash matrix and an updated federated model once clashes are resolved.

How much do clash detection services cost?

Costs depend on the building size, number of disciplines, model quality, and how many clash cycles are needed. Send us your models and we will provide a detailed quote within 24 hours.
