Coordination and Clash Management

Description

At studio PARAMETRIC, our Coordination and Clash Management services ensure seamless integration across all disciplines involved in a project. By leveraging BIM, we provide a centralized environment for architecture, structure, MEP, and other trades to collaborate efficiently minimizing design conflicts, avoiding costly rework, and improving buildability before construction begins.  

Key Aspects

Multidisciplinary Design Coordination

We bring together design inputs from architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection teams into a unified BIM environment. This allows all stakeholders to:

  • Detect interferences early
  • Resolve scope overlaps
  • Maintain design intent across disciplines

Our approach supports both spatial and functional coordination, ensuring every system fits and works as intended within the built environment.

Clash Detection and Resolution 

Using tools like Navisworks, Solibri, and BIM 360 Model Coordination, we run intelligent clash detection workflows that identify and categorize: 

  • Hard clashes (e.g., duct vs beam) 
  • Soft clashes (e.g., clearance zones) 
  • Workflow conflicts (e.g., sequencing issues) 

We prioritize clashes by severity and impact, and work closely with design teams to propose practical resolutions that align with project goals and construction feasibility. 

Federated Model Management 

We create and manage federated BIM models—composite models that bring together discipline-specific files into a coordinated whole. These federated models enable: 

  • Real-time coordination reviews 
  • Better communication across teams 
  • High-accuracy design documentation 

Our model setup follows best practices in naming conventions, worksets, and view templates to support smooth collaboration and model health. 

Issue Tracking and Coordination Reports 

Every clash or coordination issue is documented, tracked, and communicated through structured reports. We provide: 

  • Issue logs with location tags, screenshots, and timestamps 
  • Discipline-specific summaries 
  • Coordination meeting support with pre-filtered views 

We also integrate BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) workflows for seamless issue tracking within tools like Revit, Archicad, and Navisworks. 

Construction-Phase Coordination 

Our services extend beyond design. We continue coordination support into the construction phase through: 

  • Construction Model Updates 
  • Field Clash Reviews using Navisworks or ACC 
  • Support for RFIs and constructability reviews 

This ensures that changes made during construction do not compromise earlier coordination and remain aligned with site conditions and construction sequences.
