How AECOM Uses BIM Model Coordination for Clash Detection, Mitigating Errors in the Field

Construction projects – regardless of size – require extensive collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to design, engineer, and construct an asset. A reality in today’s projects is that large, distributed teams must coordinate work across many disciplines and datasets. In addition, the increasing complexity of construction projects makes model coordination essential to aid in clash detection and allow stakeholders to address issues prior to site mobilization. The cost of not using model coordination includes unexpected design changes and unnecessary rework, resulting in budget overruns and schedule delays.
