For any architectural and construction project to be executed successfully, it is a must to have full coordination among its various disciplines, such as Architectural, Structural, and MEP. Clash Detection and Clash Avoidance are two such phenomena that ensure the same. These are two distinct concepts in the field of construction and design, particularly in the context of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and construction coordination. Still, thin-line differences exist between them, as explained in the infographic below.
Summarizing:
Clash Detection Services focuses on identifying clashes after the models have been created. In contrast, clash avoidance is a proactive process that aims to prevent clashes through collaboration, coordination, and optimization during the design and construction phases. Both approaches are essential for minimizing clashes and improving project outcomes.
