The mechanics of conflict resolution
- Hard clash detection — physical intersections across all disciplines
- Soft clash / clearance analysis — maintenance space, insulation, code compliance
- Workflow logic — sequencing, gravity-fed routing, equipment access
- Static vs dynamic coordination — door swings, elevator movement, vibration zones
The no-surprise site advantage
Most change orders are uncoordinated-design tax. A clash-free federated model eliminates the emergency fixes that traditionally inflate budgets by 10–15%, makes procurement decisions defensible, raises on-site safety, and lets sub-contractors focus on installation instead of RFI cycles.
Conflict resolution matrix
| Conflict type | Traditional discovery | Horizon BIM discovery |
|---|---|---|
| Structural vs. MEP | During installation (high cost) | During design (zero cost) |
| Code compliance | During inspection (delay risk) | During modeling (pre-approved) |
| Maintenance access | Post-handover (ops issue) | Pre-construction (optimized) |
| Trade sequencing | Site conflict (idle labor) | Virtual simulation (4D sync) |
Conflict-Free Construction isn't a goal — it's our standard. Your project is defined by progress, not problems.
