The same clash discovered on-site, after concrete has been poured or structural steel erected around the conflict, costs demolition, rework, and schedule delay that a pre-construction check would have avoided entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Identifying Conflicts Before They Reach the Site<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After identifying why clashes routinely survive trade-by-trade review into construction, the fix is systematic clash detection performed against a coordinated model before construction begins, rather than relying on trade-by-trade review to somehow catch cross-discipline conflicts it was never designed to detect. DASH&#8217;s Navisworks clash detection is the pre-construction layer that identifies these intersections in the coordination model before they reach the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Consult with DASH&#8217;s team about a pre-construction clash review.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project teams relying on trade-by-trade coordination reviews, without systematic clash detection, often discover intersecting MEP and structural elements only once construction has physically reached that specific point in the building.
