For centuries in construction, engineering, and architecture, clash detection has been and remains a necessary and extremely laborious force in the design and construction process. Still, any clash or conflict that is realized before the building systems are set up saves time and reduces the cost of rework on site. But with classic clash detection tools, time-consuming, complicated, and simply not capable of handling the ever-increasing complexity and scale of modern projects was the norm.
Enginero’s IntelliClash™ is changing the way clashes have been detected, managed, and resolved in BIM-based workflows. Using the latest advances in the world, along with highly intuitive UIs and real-time collaboration, IntelliClash™ is truly transforming a new age in clash detection and management.
The Coordination Challenge in Modern BIM Workflows
During traditional BIM coordination, clash detection tools are essential safeguards against design conflicts. Usually, they bring unmanageable amounts of raw clash data and do not provide sufficient context or prioritization. Some of these challenges are,
- Isolated Clash Points
- Managing Clash Groups and Categories
- Delays in Resolution
- Improper Collaboration
- Compatibility with Different CAD Too
- Ineffective Reviews and Scheduling
To overcome these challenges, teams will need to integrate their designs with an advanced clash detection tool. Enginero’s IntelliClash™ introduces a revolutionary approach to clash detection and management, offering enhanced clarity, speed, and collaboration across project teams. Let’s have a look at its key features.
Core Capabilities of Enginero IntelliClash™
Intelligent Clash Grouping
Enginero allows you to group your millions of clashes based on your custom criteria by various categories such as systems, zones, and much more. By making groups automatically, project users can easily spot clashes by region and help in resolving them with a clear picture of the clashed zone.
Ignoring Unnecessary Clashes
Enginero users can create customized rules to ignore clashes that are not required. With custom rules, one can define the criteria to ignore clashes to streamline the clash detection process by focusing only on the issues that truly impact design integrity.
Issue Management
The clashes detected can be directly assigned to the respective project members as issues. While assigning, users can set priority, status, deadline, the exact reference points, and any linked drawings/files. With custom plugins to their native BIM applications like Revit, users can check the exact area from the model and resolve it effectively.
Prioritize Clashes
While publishing issues, users can categorize the clashes into different severities and project impacts. For example, the high-priority clashes, major structural conflicts, or interference with the MEP system are surfaced first so that the most urgent issues can be taken care of immediately.
Real-Time Analytics
Project managers gain access to an intuitive dashboard that visualizes clash trends, coordination performance, and issue resolution status. These insights improve planning, team accountability, and overall project monitoring. Apart from this, the dashboard data can also be exported as .csv or .xlsx.
Efficient Reporting
Generate customized reports for the detected clashes, add required columns of various attributes like unique clash ID, coordinates, reference image, depth of clash, and much more as per your need. Also, users can export those generated reports in a predefined schedule to the necessary project members in a schedule.
The Benefits of Smarter Clash Management with IntelliClash™
Enginero IntelliClash™, with its ability to simplify complex BIM coordination, transforming it into a streamlined process emphasizing deliverables. The intelligent clash detection and management capabilities enhance not only your model but also majorly reduce rework, simplify the project schedules, and bring down the construction costs.
Less manual review means less clerical work for the project team, and the focus is away from non-critical clashes. Project teams can focus on high-impact issues that actually affect constructability. Quick decision-making is fostered alongside better interdisciplinary communication.
- 50% reduction in clash review time – Less time spent on the irrelevant clashes, and saving time
- 30% improvement in interdisciplinary coordination – Break down silos between MEP and structural to architectural teams with better collaboration.
- Heavy reduction in RFIs and site delays – Critical clashes get identified early on in the design phase, and fewer surprises get to the field.
Conclusion
Wrapping up, the way we manage clashes today will define how efficiently you build tomorrow. With Enginero IntelliClash™, you are not just improving workflows; you are rethinking them. It brings a level of intelligence, clarity, and collaboration that turns a traditionally frustrating and fragmented process into something intuitive and streamlined.
What once took hours of manual filtering and back-and-forth coordination can now be handled with confidence, focus, and speed. It’s not about finding every clash about understanding which one’s matter and solving them before they ever become problems on site.
In a world where construction timelines are tighter, budgets are sparser, and expectations are higher, tools like IntelliClash™ aren’t just an option; they’re a necessity. The future of BIM coordination is smarter, faster, and more connected.
