Abstract

Abstract— the effect of BIM in the design phase of the construction process and how this technology can detect all existing clash inconstruction plans during the design phase. The research was carried out through a case study that contains an architectural, structural, andMechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) BIM models and their following clash detection. The current study implemented Autodesk Revitand Autodesk Navisworks Manage as BIM tools to develop features to simplify and automatically clash detection process.The Clash Detection tool is one of the most useful applications of BIM, which is useful for the coordination of systems to make the projectstime efficient and economical. In this paper we focus the methodology involved conducting clash detection analysis using building informationmodeling software. This research also involves the concept of BIM, status of BIM in India. As such, it is case study of a residential buildingwhich consisting of an architectural, structural and Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) BIM models and their consequent clashdetection. In this case study, commercial software such as Autodesk Revit 2016, Autodesk Manage 2016 are used and also focuses onsimplifying and standardizing the process of BIM coordination using Autodesk Navisworks software.Keywords— Building Information Modeling, BIM software, AEC Industry, Clash Detection
