MEP clashes are the top driver of RFIs and change orders. A single missed duct vs. beam conflict can cost weeks and tens of thousands on site. Federated coordination catches it in the model, before steel is cut.
Our workflow: ingest architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing Revit models into Autodesk Construction Cloud; federate in Navisworks Manage; run clash detective; prioritize by hardness (hard vs. clearance vs. workflow); publish HTML clash reports with camera views and element IDs.
Weekly VDC coordination: Apex VDC managers lead trade contractors through the clash matrix, assigning owners and due dates, tracking in BIM 360 Issues — driving to zero hard clashes before release to fabrication.
Result for GCs: submittals approved faster, spools fabricated once, and field installation that fits the first time — proven across 145,000+ sq ft health-tech projects and tenant improvements nationwide.
