Clash Detection plays a pivotal role in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology. It’s serving as an indispensable tool in ensuring seamless coordination and integration of various disciplines. At IBI, we prioritize clash avoidance through the meticulous development of work volumes in all disciplines. Each work volume is represented by a dedicated model, ensuring a comprehensive overview of potential clashes within and between disciplines.
The key to our success lies in the federated model, where all discipline-specific models are amalgamated for a holistic clash analysis. This systematic approach significantly minimizes clash instances in designs developed from scratch at IBI. By addressing clashes at the early stages of design, we streamline the construction process, resulting in more efficient and cost-effective projects.
The benefits of clash detection extend beyond new constructions to encompass existing buildings undergoing renovation or multidisciplinary modifications. In such scenarios, we employ 3D modelling techniques to recreate the virtual intricate details of the building. We capture the complexities of each discipline involved. The federated models of these existing buildings serve as a foundation for clash reporting. This eventually leads to providing a comprehensive overview of potential conflicts.
In both new construction and renovation scenarios, our clash detection service includes the development of detailed 3D models for all disciplines relevant to the project. This inclusive modelling approach ensures that clashes are identified and resolved early in the planning stages. This prevents costly rework and delays during the construction phase. The clash reporting generated from our federated models offers clear insights, empowering project teams to make informed decisions and enhance overall project efficiency.
In conclusion, clash detection is not merely a tool for identifying conflicts. It is a proactive strategy employed by IBI to optimize the entire construction process, whether for new builds or renovations of existing structures.
