Clash Detection AI
AI-powered identification of conflicts between building systems in design models.
Definition
Clash Detection AI uses artificial intelligence to automatically identify conflicts between different building systems—such as structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing—in BIM models and drawings. Going beyond rule-based clash detection, AI-powered systems can understand design intent, prioritize clashes by severity, suggest resolutions, and learn from past projects to reduce false positives. This significantly reduces coordination time during design and prevents costly conflicts during construction.
Examples
