BIM is becoming increasingly common in Canada, with over 50% of large construction projects now using it. Transitioning to BIM can increase project efficiency by 15-30%, reduce errors by 50% and clash detection is the first step towards these benefits.
Studies show that 76% of all construction issues stem from a lack of coordination and communication between design disciplines. BIM clash detection aims to eliminate these clashes early on through software tools. For example, on a 120 unit residential project in Calgary, BuiltVisor's clash detection services identified over 4500 clashes in the initial design models, saving the client over CAD$100,000 in rework costs and delays.
Our clash reports provide in-depth clash analytics to help understand clash trends, impacted systems and potential solutions. 3D clash visualizations make it easy to analyze interferences involving architectural, structural and MEP components. For a Vancouver high rise project, we augmented our clash report with AI-based clash suggestion software that helped identify resolution options for over 80% of detected clashes.
Beyond clash detection, we offer integrated BIM services from conceptual design to project handover. This holistic approach ensures maximum impact of BIM from the start. For new BIM adopters, we provide consultation, training and technology handholding to achieve desired project outcomes.
For example, we helped a Toronto condo developer implement model-based quantity take off, 4D scheduling and sustainable design analysis using Revit and Dynamo. This enabled them to uncover issues early, optimize material use by 11% and reduce construction time by 18%.
