Training on BIM Coordination and Clash Detection using Navisworks

Successful construction projects depend on well-coordinated models and effective collaboration among multidisciplinary teams. Unresolved design conflicts can cause costly delays, rework, and inefficiencies on site.

This course provides hands-on training in BIM coordination and clash detection using Autodesk Navisworks. Participants will learn to integrate architectural, structural, and MEP models, identify and resolve clashes, and streamline teamwork for improved project delivery. Real-world scenarios and practical exercises ensure participants can apply these techniques directly to construction projects.

Through guided simulations, learners develop the ability to detect conflicts early, communicate issues effectively, and enhance overall project efficiency. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to use Navisworks for proactive clash detection, seamless model integration, and collaborative project management, ensuring high-quality, on-time construction outcomes.
