BIM Clash Detection Services

Construction clashes discovered on site can lead to rework, delays, RFIs, material changes, disrupted sequences, and commercial disputes. Vertus Engineering provides BIM clash detection services to identify coordination issues between architectural, structural, MEP, civil, and specialist systems before installation.

We combine discipline-specific models into a federated coordination environment and review both physical clashes and practical constructability issues. Each issue is documented, prioritized, assigned, and tracked through resolution.

Scope of Clash Detection Services

Our scope is tailored to the specific requirements of each project, discipline, and delivery stage. From reviewing inputs and understanding technical requirements to preparing coordinated deliverables and incorporating client feedback, we provide structured support aligned with your drawings, specifications, standards, and commercial objectives. Each service scope is clearly defined to ensure accuracy, transparency, and seamless integration with your project team.

Why Clash Detection Matters

Early coordination enables project teams to address design problems while changes are still relatively manageable. Vertus's existing VDC positioning emphasises early clash detection, reduced rework, improved communication, centralised coordination, and fewer RFIs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A hard clash occurs when two physical model elements occupy the same space.

A soft clash relates to required clearance, access, maintenance, safety, installation, or operational zones.

We identify issues, recommend coordination options, update models, and conduct re-checks according to the agreed scope.

Identify design conflicts, with the services of Vertus, before they become construction problems.
