Rework in construction is more than just an inconvenience—it’s one of the leading causes of project delays and budget overruns. A 2020 study by PlanGrid and FMI revealed that construction professionals spend over 14 hours a week dealing with rework, largely due to design errors and miscommunication. But what if these conflicts could be caught before they hit the jobsite?

That’s exactly what visual coordination and clash detection tools are built for—and Bidlight takes it a step further.

👷‍♂️ Design vs. Reality

Construction projects involve multiple disciplines—architects, engineers, MEP designers, and field teams—all working from different models. Without proper coordination, these models can have spatial conflicts without proper coordination, like ducts intersecting beams or plumbing running through structural walls.

If not identified early, these “clashes” can lead to costly rework, downtime, and coordination chaos.

 Visual Models + Early Clash Detection

Bidlight empowers construction teams with an intuitive 3D BIM viewer and built-in clash detection tools that identify design conflicts before they become jobsite disasters.

Stakeholders can:

• Upload and view federated BIM models in a web browser

• Automatically highlight element clashes across disciplines

• Communicate issues directly in the model with pin-based comments

• Share model views with external teams for faster decision-making

All of this happens in real-time and without requiring specialized software or training.

🔄 Benefits of Visual Coordination with Bidlight

- Early Conflict Resolution – Detect spatial issues between trades before construction begins.

- Reduced Rework – Save time, money, and materials by preventing errors upfront.

- Improved Collaboration – Create a single source of visual truth for architects, engineers, and field teams.

- Faster Turnarounds – Share models, comments, and updates instantly via cloud links.

Imagine a plumbing layout that intersects with HVAC ducts. Without clash detection, that mistake is discovered during installation—causing major delays. With Bidlight, the issue is flagged during the preconstruction phase, adjusted in the model, and built right the first time.

That’s smart building!
