Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an intelligent digital database containing all required construction features that offer stakeholders, and AEC professionals the knowledge they can use across the project life cycle to plan, design, manage and make successful decisions. The cooperation between the teams by coordinating 3D designs through BIM is necessary for the final design to be free of clash. The literature indicates that the need for BIM has increased and that some countries have also mandated its use in their construction projects. This paper aims to investigate the root cause of clashes occurring in construction work and their quantification using building information modelling. The research method implemented in this study is the preparation of 3D architectural, structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) Revit model and the analysis of clashes using BIM software for buildings in India. The result from the BIM software showed the different types of clashes that affect the construction mainly, hard clashes which occurs due to the intersection of the component from different disciplines, soft clashes due to lack of buffer space around equipment’s and workflow, or 4D clashes focused on the conflict between workflow and scheduling of equipment. This study concludes with the detailed quantification of clashes, their causes and impact of occurrence on building construction projects.
