A duct that runs through a structural beam, a sprinkler line that clashes with ductwork, a wall that doesn't align between architectural and structural models — these conflicts are cheap to fix on screen and expensive to fix in the field. Clash detection runs your federated architectural, structural, and MEP models through coordination software to identify every conflict before construction, then delivers a clear report your team can act on.
