Federated model
All discipline models linked into one Navisworks file with correct coordinates and clear naming.
Coordination
Clash detection that produces decisions, not a report nobody reads
A raw clash list with 8,000 hits helps nobody. We filter, group and prioritise conflicts into an action list your team can close in a week, then run the meetings to make sure they do.

Overview
The value is in the filtering, not in the clash count
Any software can generate thousands of clashes. Most are duplicates, tolerance noise or conflicts that resolve themselves on site. Handing that list to a project team just buries the problems that matter.
We tune the rules, group clashes by system and location, remove the noise, and produce a report where every entry is a real decision with an owner and a due date. Coordinating against an existing building starts with an accurate as built model of what is actually there.
- Rules tuned to your tolerances, not software defaults
- Clashes grouped by zone, system and responsible party
- Each item with a screenshot, location and clear owner
- Coordination meetings chaired to close items fast
Why choose us
Why our clash reports get closed instead of ignored
A report full of noise trains your team to stop reading it. Ours is built to be actioned.
01
60 to 200 real issues, not thousands
Noise filtered before the report reaches you
A raw clash list can show 8,000 hits. We group, dedupe and prioritise so every line item is a decision, not a distraction.
02
Rules tuned per stage
Not left on software defaults
Early rounds run looser to catch layout problems, later rounds tighten to installation tolerance.
03
Meetings chaired by us
On request, at no extra charge
A neutral party running the session keeps it focused on resolution instead of blame.
04
Existing conditions clashed
New design tested against measured reality
We model the existing building from scan data first, so your new design is checked against what is actually there, not an assumed drawing.
What you get
What a coordination round delivers
Everything your team needs to close conflicts without arguing about them.
Prioritised clash report
Grouped conflicts with severity, location, screenshot, responsible party and suggested resolution.
BCF issue file
Issues exported as BCF so they land directly in each consultant model with the viewpoint attached.
Coordination meetings
Chaired sessions where each item is reviewed live and an owner and date is agreed on the spot.
Progress tracking
Round on round tracking showing what closed, what reopened and what is blocking the next milestone.
Sign off pack
A closeout summary confirming the model is coordinated and ready for the next stage or for construction.
Scope of work
What we check in a coordination review
Rule sets are agreed with your team before the first round runs.
Included in every project
- Hard clashes between services and structure
- Clearance clashes against maintenance access zones
- Ceiling void congestion and coordination space
- Riser and shaft capacity checks
- Penetration coordination through slabs and walls
- Headroom and clear height compliance
- Plant room access and equipment removal routes
- Existing conditions against new design
- Fire compartment and containment integrity
- Constructability and installation sequence checks
| Scope item | What we deliver | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Broad review to find systemic layout problems | Early design coordination |
| Round 2 | Detailed clash testing with tuned tolerances | Technical design stage |
| Round 3 | Zone by zone signoff and closeout | Pre construction approval |
| Ongoing | Change driven reviews as design develops | Construction stage control |
Coordinating new design against an existing building. This is where scan data pays for itself. Clashing new services against a measured as built model finds the conflicts that legacy drawings hide completely.
How it works
How a coordination cycle works
A predictable weekly rhythm that keeps the whole team moving.
Model intake
Discipline models are collected, checked for coordinates and naming, then federated into one file.
Rule setup
Clash rules and tolerances are configured for your project so noise is filtered out from the start.
Test and filter
Tests are run, duplicates removed, and remaining conflicts grouped by zone and system.
Report and meet
The report is issued ahead of a chaired meeting where owners and dates are agreed for every item.
Track and close
Resolutions are verified in the next round and anything reopened is escalated immediately.
Why clients pick us for this
Noise removed
Reports contain decisions, not raw software output.
Meetings chaired
We run the session so items actually close.
Existing conditions
We clash new design against measured reality.
Case study
Coordinating a live clinic refurbishment out of hours
Healthcare · Dubai
The challenge
A private clinic needed a full refurbishment of its imaging and treatment floors, but the facility could not close, so every new service route had to be coordinated against existing conditions before a single overnight work window was booked.
What we did
We modeled the existing building from scan data, federated it with the new design and ran three rounds of clash detection, chairing coordination meetings that closed each round conflict list before the next overnight session was scheduled.
The result
3 coordination rounds
Reduced the open clash list from over 400 to zero over six weeks
Zero clinic closures
Every survey and review fitted around live patient hours
18 out of hours sessions
Completed on schedule with no rework once work began on site
"Every session started with a shorter list than the last. By the time contractors were on site there was nothing left to argue about."

Questions
Clash Detection questions we hear most
Straight answers so you can scope your project with confidence.
On a first round it is common to see thousands of raw hits. After filtering and grouping, a typical project has 60 to 200 real items that need a decision. That is the list we hand over.
Yes, and we chair them if you want. Someone neutral running the session keeps it focused on resolution rather than on who is at fault.
Yes. We work with Revit, IFC, DWG, DGN and NWC inputs. Mixed platform teams are normal, and IFC handles most of what does not come from Revit.
It depends on the stage and the systems. Early rounds run looser to find layout problems, later rounds tighten to installation tolerances. We agree the numbers with you before starting.
Yes, and it is one of our most requested services. We model the existing building from scan data, then clash your new design against measured conditions rather than assumed ones.
