Federated BIM model used for Navisworks clash detection
Navisworks Clash Detection

Find the clash.Protect the build.

Skyline Design Group federates architectural, structural and MEP models in Navisworks to identify coordination risks before they become field rework, change orders and schedule delays.

Coordination focus

Hard clashes

Physical intersections

Soft clashes

Required clearances

Workflow clashes

Sequence conflicts

Model health

Data + coordinates

Built for general contractors, developers, architects, engineers, fabricators and trade partners who need a cleaner path from model coordination to field installation.

Coordination clarity before construction complexity.

Digital coordination. Real-world protection.

A raw clash report is not a coordination strategy.

Thousands of automated clash results can overwhelm a project team. Skyline Design Group turns model data into a practical resolution workflow—filtering false positives, grouping related issues, prioritizing constructability risk and giving each discipline a clear path to closure.

Our goal is not to produce the longest report. It is to help your team make the right coordination decisions early enough to protect fabrication, installation and the construction schedule.

Clash tests configured around real project tolerances

Issues organized by trade, level, zone and priority

Clear viewpoints that accelerate decision-making

Recurring model updates and closure verification

Why clash detection matters

Resolve coordination risk when change is still inexpensive.

Prevent field rework

Find hard, soft and workflow clashes while they are still pixels—not demolition, change orders and schedule pressure.

Protect the schedule

Resolve high-impact coordination issues before fabrication, procurement and installation sequences are locked.

Improve cost certainty

Give estimators, project managers and trade partners a cleaner, coordinated basis for planning and execution.

Align every discipline

Create one transparent issue-management workflow for architecture, structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection.

Skyline execution framework

From model intake to verified closure.

A repeatable Navisworks coordination workflow that keeps model versions controlled, responsibilities visible and high-impact issues moving toward resolution.

Model intake & coordination setup
01

Coordination stage 01

Model intake & coordination setup

Skyline Design Group reviews your Revit, IFC, NWC, DWG and point-cloud inputs, confirms coordinates, validates file health and builds a project-specific Navisworks coordination environment.

Federation & clash-test strategy
02

Coordination stage 02

Federation & clash-test strategy

We federate discipline models and configure focused test sets by system, level, zone, tolerance and construction priority—reducing noise and surfacing the clashes that can actually disrupt the field.

Detection, triage & ownership
03

Coordination stage 03

Detection, triage & ownership

Each issue is reviewed in context, grouped, prioritized and assigned. Duplicate or low-value results are filtered so your team receives a concise, decision-ready issue register.

Coordination meetings & resolution
04

Coordination stage 04

Coordination meetings & resolution

We support coordination calls with viewpoints, markups and trade-specific action items. Resolved geometry is re-tested through recurring model updates until critical clashes are closed.

Closeout & field-ready package
05

Coordination stage 05

Closeout & field-ready package

Your team receives updated reports, saved viewpoints, clash status summaries and a coordinated model package that supports fabrication, installation planning and construction sequencing.

What your team receives

Coordination deliverables built for action not archive.

Skyline Design Group packages model findings so project managers, VDC teams, designers and trade partners can quickly understand the issue, identify ownership and verify resolution.

Decision-ready reporting

Every issue should communicate location, impact, ownership and status at a glance.

Multi-discipline coordination

One model environment. Every major building system.

Clash tests are structured around the systems, tolerances and access requirements that matter for your project—not a generic one-size-fits-all template.

01

Architecture

Ceilings, walls, doors, access zones and equipment clearances

02

Structure

Steel, concrete, framing, openings, embeds and penetrations

03

Mechanical

Ductwork, equipment, dampers, access and maintenance zones

04

Electrical

Cable tray, conduit, panels, lighting and equipment clearances

05

Plumbing

Domestic water, sanitary, storm, vent and slope requirements

06

Fire Protection

Mains, branches, heads, valves and code-required coverage

07

Civil / Site

Underground utilities, foundations, grades and service entries

See coordination clearly

Visual evidence makes technical issues easier to solve.

Viewpoints, section cuts, color-coded systems and model context help teams move from “where is the problem?” to “how will we resolve it?”

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers for your coordination team.

Every project is different. Skyline Design Group configures the process around your team, model maturity, BIM execution plan and construction schedule.

We can build coordination workflows around common Revit, Navisworks, IFC, DWG and point-cloud deliverables. The exact intake package is defined during kickoff so coordinates, model versions and discipline responsibilities are clear.

We do more than export a raw clash list. Skyline reviews results, filters duplicates, organizes issues by priority and supports resolution with viewpoints, markups, coordination notes and repeated model testing.

The cadence is matched to the project. Fast-track projects may require multiple coordination cycles each week, while other teams use a weekly model drop, review and closure cycle.

Yes. We can align the Navisworks environment, search sets, clash naming, tolerance rules, report format and issue-status workflow with your BIM execution plan and internal standards.

Skyline Design Group operates as a B2B drafting, BIM production and coordination support partner. Final design responsibility, engineering decisions and professional seals remain with the project’s licensed architects and engineers.

Give your field team a cleaner model and a clearer plan.

Send Skyline Design Group your current model package. We’ll help define the coordination scope, identify the highest-risk interfaces and build a Navisworks workflow around your project schedule.

Skyline Design Group provides BIM production, drafting and coordination support. Licensed design decisions, engineering responsibility and professional seals remain with the project’s architects and engineers of record.
