Clash detection and resolution are, in fact, one of the most important advantages of BIM coordination services. It facilitates the effective identification, inspection, and reporting of interference clash in a typical 3D project model, at the document stage instead of on-site, during construction. This helps reduce design errors and inefficiencies that may cause delays and budget issues. Minimizing the risk of human error during an inspection of models ensures the sustainable design, efficient construction planning, and fabrication.

BIM clash detection and resolution not only includes the final estimated location of components but also enables efficiencies in construction sequencing, material, and equipment lead time, and compliance with the original architectural intent.

It can also help reduce design faults and inadequacies that may prove expensive during and even after the completion of the project design.
