Models and design packages
Models from Autodesk Construction Cloud or IFC files linked to the design packages, drawings and trades they describe, by level, zone and system. The BIM coordinator sees which packages each model and revision covers.

BIM & Design CoordinationAvailable now
Design coordination: clashes, reviews and design changes
For design managers, BIM coordinators and engineers who must close clashes and design changes before they reach site.
Hivenox Construction OS capability
Clashes resolved before they are built.
BIM & Design Coordination connects the model to the rest of the job in Hivenox Construction OS: design packages, reviews, clashes and changes sit on the same record as cost, programme and procurement. Each clash or design change goes to the designer who owns it, and each change is linked to the cost codes, programme activities and orders it affects, so it is priced before anyone approves it. The Design & BIM AI Worker is designed to check design changes and clashes against the model; the BIM coordinator decides what is raised.
Workflows
Five workflows, one record
The work itself, named the way the people who run it name it.
Clashes assigned and closed
Clashes across disciplines, and between the model and the drawings, each assigned to the designer who owns it with a due date and tracked until it is closed. A duct clashing with a beam goes to the mechanical designer, not to site.
Design reviews and approvals
Review comments, responses and approvals followed through each design stage until they are closed, so nothing is left open when drawings are issued for construction. Each comment has an owner and a due date until it is closed.
Design changes priced before approval
Every design change linked to the cost codes, programme activities and orders it affects, so the variation is priced before it is approved, not after the work is built.
Constructability before site
Constructability issues raised in design review are tracked to closure like any other comment, while a fix is still a drawing change rather than rework. The Design & BIM AI Worker is designed to highlight details, sequences and tolerances likely to cause problems on site; the design manager decides what changes.

Quick answer
How do I stop design clashes and changes becoming variations on site?
Coordinate the models before issue, assign every clash to the designer who owns it and track it to closure. Price each design change against cost, programme and procurement before it is approved. Hivenox Construction OS holds clashes, reviews and design changes on the same record as the budget and programme.
