Clash detection and 4D sequencing deliver the single greatest return on investment in the entire BIM process, catching conflicts and scheduling problems while they cost nothing to fix. This focused program concentrates entirely on mastering these two high-value capabilities, teaching professionals to run rigorous clash workflows and build time-based construction simulations that de-risk projects before they reach site.
Specialists who can drive clash resolution and produce convincing 4D simulations are in heavy demand on complex projects where coordination failures translate directly into lost time and money. This intensive course builds deep, practical command of Clash Detective and TimeLiner and introduces emerging issue-management and collaboration practices, making delegates immediately effective in coordination roles.
Course Objectives
Upon the successful completion of this program, attendees will be able to:
- Configure meaningful clash detection tests between disciplines
- Distinguish hard, soft, and clearance clashes appropriately
- Filter, group, and prioritise clash results intelligently
- Assign clash ownership and track resolution status
- Generate professional clash and coordination reports
- Use switchback to resolve clashes in authoring software
- Link model objects to construction tasks in TimeLiner
- Import and synchronise external project schedules
- Create and export compelling 4D construction simulations
- Apply coordination best practices in project meetings
- Set up federated models for effective clashing
- Manage re-running and updating of clash tests
- Exchange issues using the BCF standard
- Combine 4D simulation with clash visualisation
- Present coordination outcomes to stakeholders
- Apply emerging trends in cloud-based issue management
