Resolve Clashes in Code, Not on Concrete
Unresolved mechanical, electrical, and plumbing clashes are the primary cause of cost blowouts, project delays, and on-site contractor disputes. DigiBuild Solutions manages the complete coordination lifecycle: compiling disparate trade models, establishing sensible clearance rules, triaging genuine constructibility issues, and driving trade subcontractors to approved handover gates.
Who Needs MEP Coordination
- General Contractors: Avoid delay claims by verifying that all MEP services fit within tight ceiling voids and congested shafts.
- MEP Subcontractors: Protect your installation margins with signed-off, clash-free routing and spool drawing validation.
- Healthcare & Industrial Developers: Safeguard complex medical gases, laminar flow ducts, and high-pressure process piping.
- Project Management Consultancies: Secure an independent, third-party coordination audit before approving trade shop drawings.
Coordination Inputs Required
- Trade Models: Native .RVT or openBIM .IFC models from Architectural, Structural, HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical teams.
- Equipment Cut-Sheets: Approved submittals for chillers, AHUs, pumps, switchboards, and fan coil units.
- Clearance Rules: Insulation thickness, access zones for valve maintenance, and filter replacement clearances.
- CDE / Platform Access: Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), BIM 360, BIMcollab, or Revizto project workspace.
Systematic Clash Triage & Resolution Process
Rather than drowning your team in thousands of raw Navisworks intersections, we apply intelligent filtering and rule-based clash classification.
Model Federation
Weekly ingestion of trade models, verification of shared coordinate systems, and creation of master Navisworks .NWF federations.
Matrix-Based Clash Triage
Clashes filtered by priority: Hard clashes (duct through beam), Soft clashes (insulation interference), and Maintenance access clearance.
BCF Issue Assignment
Clash reports published via buildingSMART BCF standard directly into trade modelers' Revit viewports with recommended rerouting solutions.
Constructibility Sign-Off
Final milestone verification report confirming critical zone clearance before shop drawing issuance and site execution.
Coordination Deliverables & Formats

Compiled federated models with organized search sets, saved viewpoints, and preconfigured clash test rules.
BCF 2.1 Issue Packages
Actionable BCF files compatible with BIMcollab, Revizto, and native Revit add-ins with exact camera coordinates.
Weekly Clash Resolution Reports
Executive summary dashboards tracking clash burndown metrics, active bottlenecks, and subcontractor responsibility.
Constructibility Review Notes
Engineering observations on pipe slope, valve ergonomics, damper accessibility, and structural sleeve penetrations.
