Option Based Decision
MEP Coordination & Clash Resolution Through BIM
Publication Date: March 27, 2026
By: BIMEDGE
Project Overview
A large-scale institutional project required detailed MEP coordination across multiple buildings. During design validation, several conflicts were identified between duct routing, false ceiling levels, and service clearances.
Challenge & Solutions
Challenges We Faced
- Duct systems conflicting with false ceiling heights
- Clearance requirements not meeting functional standards
- Overlapping routing of services (ducts, drainage, piping)
- Multiple coordination issues across grid zones
- Risk of execution delays and rework
What We Solved
Conflicts were resolved through a combination of:
- Performed clash detection across MEP disciplines
- Analysed clearance and routing constraints
- Generated multiple resolution strategies for each issue
- Generated multiple resolution strategies for each issue
Each solution was evaluated for feasibility and constructability before recommendation.
Our Approach
A BIM-driven coordination workflow was implemented to identify and resolve conflicts:
- Performed clash detection across MEP disciplines
- Analysed clearance and routing constraints
- Generated multiple resolution strategies for each issue
- Provided structured RFI responses with design alternatives
Outcome
- Significant reduction in site-level clashes
- Improved coordination between MEP systems
- Faster resolution of design conflicts through structured RFIs
- Maintained required clearances without compromising functionality
Key Value Delivered
- Reduced rework during execution
- Improved efficiency in project delivery
- Enhanced coordination across disciplines
- Better constructability through BIM validation
