Clash detection that gets clashes fixed

A clash found in the model costs a few minutes. The same clash found on site costs days, materials and goodwill. We run clash detection that cuts through the noise and gives your team a short list of real problems, each with an owner.

Challenges we solve

From raw clashes to real decisions

The problems design and site teams bring to us, and how clash detection fixes them.

How we work

From models to resolved issues in six steps

A repeatable clash cycle that shows progress at every coordination meeting.

  1. Step 1

    Collect models

    Latest models from every discipline.

  2. Step 2

    Federate & align

    Shared coordinates and levels checked.

  3. Step 3

    Run tests

    Clash matrix by discipline, zone and tolerance.

  4. Step 4

    Group issues

    Noise filtered, real conflicts grouped.

  5. Step 5

    Report

    Views, locations and owners for each issue.

  6. Step 6

    Track & repeat

    Resolved issues closed, new ones raised.

Overview

Fewer surprises on site

Anyone can press 'Run' on a clash test and get ten thousand clashes. That report helps nobody. The value is in what happens next: setting sensible tolerances, ignoring what doesn't matter and grouping the rest into issues a team can actually discuss.

We agree a clash matrix with you at the start, by discipline, zone and tolerance. Then we run the same tests at every model drop, so it's easy to see what's been fixed, what's new and what keeps coming back.

Each issue arrives with a clear view, its grid and level, the elements involved and who needs to act. Reports are built to be worked through in a coordination meeting, not filed away.

We work from

  • Architectural model
  • Structural model
  • MEP and fire protection models
  • Agreed tolerances and priorities
  • Coordination schedule
  • Your issue-tracking platform
  • Federated models

    All disciplines combined and aligned to shared coordinates.

  • Targeted clash tests

    Tests set up by discipline pair, zone and tolerance.

  • Grouped clash issues

    Thousands of raw hits grouped into real, actionable issues.

  • Clear reports

    Views, locations, levels and responsible trades for each issue.

  • Issue tracking

    Status tracked from open to resolved across each run.

  • Meeting support

    Reports prepared for, and reviewed in, coordination meetings.

  • Clearance checks

    Access, maintenance and headroom zones checked as well as hard clashes.

  • Regular cycles

    Weekly or milestone-based runs that track progress over time.

Why choose us

Clash reports that lead to decisions

Our coordinators know what each trade can realistically move and what it can't. That judgement is what turns a clash report into decisions. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.

  • 0+Projects delivered
  • 0%Client retention
  • 0+In-house experts
  • Your standards first

    We work inside your templates, title blocks, families and naming, so files drop straight into your workflow.

Ask our team

We work in the project’s own coordination platform and share issues in an open format for teams on other platforms.

No. We federate models from any authoring platform through native or open-standard exports.

Tolerances, sensible exclusions and grouping by cause. A typical first run might show thousands of hits; the report you see will be a few dozen real issues.

Weekly during active coordination is common. On smaller projects, at each design milestone is usually enough.

If we’re also modeling the discipline involved, yes. Otherwise we report clearly so each consultant fixes their own elements.

Yes. Access space, insulation, door swings and headroom often matter more than the hard clashes, so we test for them too.

Grouped issues with screenshots, location, elements, responsible trade and status, plus a one-page summary of progress since the last run.
