To better understand workflows, benefits, and coordination strategies, explore our complete guide to revit clash detection services for bim coordination and conflict resolution
Initial Setup and Clash Detection Planning
We begin by configuring your Revit and Navisworks environment based on your project’s scope and team structure. This includes setting up federated models, linked files, and clash test templates for effective multi-disciplinary coordination.
Multi-Discipline Clash Detection (Architectural, Structural & MEP)
Using advanced rule-based workflows, we run automated clash detection between architectural, structural, MEP, and other systems at LOD 300/400. Our process identifies and categorizes both hard and soft clashes, prioritizing those that directly affect constructability and installation.
Clash Reports, Snapshots, and Matrices
We generate detailed clash reports with visual snapshots, clash groupings, and clash matrices to help design teams and stakeholders understand conflicts quickly. These reports are structured to streamline coordination meetings and support issue resolution tracking.
Real-Time Clash Coordination & Cloud Collaboration
Our team supports cloud-based workflows through platforms like BIM 360 and ACC. We manage model uploads, clash set creation, and issue assignments—ensuring real-time coordination, version control, and seamless communication across distributed teams.
Clash Resolution and Iterative Detection
Once clashes are addressed, we rerun detection to validate fixes and uncover new conflicts. We assist in proposing design modifications and system adjustments to support constructability and maintain model integrity through all project phases.
Support for Coordination Meetings and Stakeholder Alignment
We facilitate cross-discipline coordination by participating in review sessions, providing updated clash reports, and offering resolution guidance. Our structured workflows ensure all issues are closed out in alignment with project milestones and delivery deadlines.
Standards Compliance and Documentation
All services are aligned with your BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and industry standards such as ISO 19650. Our documentation and clash logs ensure traceability, accountability, and audit readiness throughout the coordination process.

How We Work: Revit Clash Detection Process
Step-by-Step Revit Clash Detection Workflow
| Step | Process Stage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Project Review & Clash Detection Scope | We review architectural, structural, and MEP models, coordination requirements, BIM standards, and project priorities to define the clash detection scope. |
| 02 | Model Collection & Coordination Setup | Discipline models are collected, linked, aligned, and prepared using project coordinates, levels, grids, and shared model standards. |
| 03 | Detecting Clashes in MEP Systems | MEP services such as ducts, pipes, cable trays, equipment, and fixtures are checked against architectural and structural elements to identify spatial conflicts early. |
| 04 | Clash Detection & Issue Categorization | Hard clashes, soft clashes, clearance issues, access conflicts, and installation constraints are identified, categorized, and prioritized for resolution. |
| 05 | Clash Reports & Coordination Review | Clash reports, viewpoints, screenshots, issue logs, and recommended actions are prepared for team review and coordination meetings. |
| 06 | Resolution Tracking & Final Coordination Delivery | Resolved issues are tracked, rechecked, and delivered with updated coordination outputs to reduce RFIs, rework, and site conflicts during construction. |

Frequently Asked Questions About Revit Clash Detection
What is Revit Clash Detection, and why is it important?
Revit Clash Detection is the process of identifying conflicts (or "clashes") between elements in a BIM model—typically across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines. It helps prevent costly errors, rework, and delays during construction by resolving design issues during the preconstruction phase.
Which tools are used for clash detection?
We use Autodesk Revit, Navisworks Manage, and cloud platforms like BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to run automated clash tests and manage issue resolution workflows.
What types of clashes do you detect?
We identify both hard clashes (physical overlaps between elements) and soft clashes (clearance issues or code-related conflicts). These are categorized by discipline and severity to prioritize resolution.
At what Level of Development (LOD) do you perform clash detection?
We typically perform clash detection at LOD 300 or LOD 400, depending on your project phase and detailing requirements. This ensures that the coordination reflects real-world constructability—handled by Nationally recognized Revit BIM experts for complex projects.
Can you work with models that aren’t created in Revit?
Yes. We can import CAD, IFC, or PDF-based models into Navisworks for clash detection. However, working directly with native Revit models offers the highest accuracy and coordination benefits.
How are clash reports delivered?
We provide detailed clash reports with screenshots, clash IDs, element information, and issue descriptions. Reports can be exported in Excel, BCF, or Navisworks format, and are compatible with BIM 360 for cloud-based issue tracking.
How often should clash detection be performed?
Clash detection should be an iterative process, conducted during key design milestones (e.g., DD, CD, IFC) or after each major model update to ensure all revisions remain coordinated.
Do you assist in resolving the clashes?
Yes. We work with your design teams to propose practical resolution strategies—from design adjustments to routing modifications—ensuring constructability while preserving design intent.
How does clash detection integrate with BIM 360 or ACC?
Our workflow includes model uploads, clash set creation, and issue assignment in BIM 360/ACC, allowing for real-time tracking, team collaboration, and automatic notifications for faster resolution.
What are the benefits of outsourcing clash detection to your team?
Outsourcing saves time, reduces errors, and brings in expertise from a team familiar with multi-trade coordination, construction sequencing, and standards compliance (e.g., ISO 19650). We help deliver clash-free, construction-ready models without overburdening your internal teams.
