Coordination teams distributing clash reports only to the trades directly named in each specific conflict can leave other trades unaware of resolutions that may still affect their adjacent scope of work.
Why Siloed Report Distribution Misses Adjacent Impact
A clash between two specific trades is often resolved with a change that affects the immediate physical space involved — a change that can have ripple effects on adjacent trades’ work, even if those adjacent trades were not directly named in the original conflict.
Where Narrow Distribution Creates Blind Spots
Distributing a clash report only to the trades explicitly involved in that specific conflict means any adjacent trade affected by the resolution — without being named in the original clash — has no visibility into a change that may still require them to adjust their own planned work.
Why Broader Visibility Serves the Whole Coordination Process
Trade-wide visibility into all detected conflicts and their resolutions allows every discipline to independently assess whether a given resolution affects their own scope, rather than relying on the narrow distribution list to have correctly anticipated every possible downstream impact.
A Practice Built Around Trade-Wide Report Distribution
After explaining the coordination value lost when clash visibility is siloed by trade, DASH’s Navisworks clash detection reporting is built around trade-wide report distribution, ensuring adjacent trades have visibility into resolutions that may affect their own scope of work.
