BIM Clash Detection & Resolution Workflow
Identify, categorize, and resolve BIM clashes with structured coordination workflows
What You Can Do
You can transform raw clash detection data into prioritized, actionable resolution directives. Claude analyzes clash reports to categorize conflicts by type (hard clashes, soft clashes, coordination clashes), assess impact on construction sequences, assign accountability to trades, and generate documented resolution workflows with accountability tracking. This eliminates coordination delays and prevents expensive field conflicts.
Features
automatically classify clashes by severity (hard/soft/coordination) and trade impact
rank clashes by construction phase, cost impact, and resolution difficulty
generate specific resolution directives for MEP, structural, and architectural teams with clear accountability
create audit trails and decision records for clash resolutions tied to project documentation
identify systematic conflicts across building sections and propose systemic solutions
parse high-volume clash reports (100+ items) and filter noise to actionable issues
structure clash-based coordination sessions with pre-assigned resolutions and owner decisions
evaluate clash status changes across weekly/bi-weekly detection cycles
Example Output
Input: Automated clash report from Navisworks showing 247 clashes across MEP/structural/architectural systems
Output:
## CRITICAL CLASHES (5 items) — Resolve before Phase 2
- Ductwork/structural beam interference, Level 3 — Hard clash, 2.5" intersection
→ Resolution: Reroute duct to south corridor (MEP responsibility)
→ Deadline: 5 days | Owner: MEP Coordinator | Status: Assigned
## HIGH PRIORITY (18 items) — Resolve within 10 days
- HVAC clearance to electrical panel, Mechanical Room B — Soft clash, 8" gap insufficient
→ Resolution: Relocate panel 18" south (Electrical responsibility)
→ Deadline: 10 days | Owner: Electrical Lead | Status: Pending
## MEDIUM PRIORITY (64 items) — Resolve by Phase 3
- Sprinkler head/ductwork accessibility zones (recurring, 12 instances)
→ Systemic solution: Offset all sprinkler drops 3' from duct centerline per revised standard
→ Deadline: Phase 3 | Owner: Fire Protection | Status: Systemic Review

Design earth retention systems by inputting soil properties, site geometry, and regulatory requirements. Claude calculates lateral earth pressures using Coulomb, Rankine, and Mononobe-Okabe methods, verifies factors of safety for internal and external stability, compares competing retention concepts (gravity walls, cantilever, anchored, sheet-pile, soil-nail), and generates cost-benefit analysis and regulatory documentation packages ready for permit submission.

You can input earth retention system parameters—wall type, soil properties, loading conditions, and geometry—and Claude will perform comprehensive stability analysis including bearing capacity, sliding resistance, and overturning checks. The skill generates professional engineering reports with calculated factors of safety, design narratives, and permit-ready documentation that aligns with ASCE 7, ACI 318, and local building code requirements across gravity walls, cantilever walls, soldier pile systems, sheet pile walls, and MSE walls.

You can submit architectural design documents, floor plans, and project parameters to receive a comprehensive compliance analysis that cross-references IBC, local amendments, zoning ordinances, and ADA accessibility requirements. Claude identifies specific gaps, cites applicable code sections, explains why each gap matters, and provides concrete remediation strategies—all before formal design review submission when corrections are costly and schedule-impacting.
