BIM Clash Detection & Resolution Workflow
Identify, categorize, and resolve BIM clashes with structured coordination workflows
What You Can Do
You can transform raw clash detection data into prioritized, actionable resolution directives. Claude analyzes clash reports to categorize conflicts by type (hard clashes, soft clashes, coordination clashes), assess impact on construction sequences, assign accountability to trades, and generate documented resolution workflows with accountability tracking. This eliminates coordination delays and prevents expensive field conflicts.
Features
automatically classify clashes by severity (hard/soft/coordination) and trade impact
rank clashes by construction phase, cost impact, and resolution difficulty
generate specific resolution directives for MEP, structural, and architectural teams with clear accountability
create audit trails and decision records for clash resolutions tied to project documentation
identify systematic conflicts across building sections and propose systemic solutions
parse high-volume clash reports (100+ items) and filter noise to actionable issues
structure clash-based coordination sessions with pre-assigned resolutions and owner decisions
evaluate clash status changes across weekly/bi-weekly detection cycles
Example Output
Input: Automated clash report from Navisworks showing 247 clashes across MEP/structural/architectural systems
Output:
## CRITICAL CLASHES (5 items) — Resolve before Phase 2
- Ductwork/structural beam interference, Level 3 — Hard clash, 2.5" intersection
→ Resolution: Reroute duct to south corridor (MEP responsibility)
→ Deadline: 5 days | Owner: MEP Coordinator | Status: Assigned
## HIGH PRIORITY (18 items) — Resolve within 10 days
- HVAC clearance to electrical panel, Mechanical Room B — Soft clash, 8" gap insufficient
→ Resolution: Relocate panel 18" south (Electrical responsibility)
→ Deadline: 10 days | Owner: Electrical Lead | Status: Pending
## MEDIUM PRIORITY (64 items) — Resolve by Phase 3
- Sprinkler head/ductwork accessibility zones (recurring, 12 instances)
→ Systemic solution: Offset all sprinkler drops 3' from duct centerline per revised standard
→ Deadline: Phase 3 | Owner: Fire Protection | Status: Systemic Review
