Clash detection is one of the most critical features of BIM. It involves identifying and resolving conflicts between different building systems—like HVAC ducts intersecting with plumbing lines—before construction begins. These conflicts, if left unchecked, can cause major delays, cost overruns, and rework on-site. BIM software like Navisworks enables detailed coordination between architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines, helping teams avoid surprises and streamline construction workflows. When implemented early, clash detection becomes a powerful tool for risk mitigation.
