What is Clash in the Cloud?

One of the key benefits is the ability to identify clashes in the early stages of the design process. In a risk-averse industry such as construction, this early resolution mitigates future problems, reducing design changes, cost increases, or schedule delays. 

As construction projects are complex, project teams are forced to ensure the right processes and tools are in place to manage the high level of collaboration required across all project stakeholders.

This is where clash detection becomes an integral part of today’s design coordination processes. Clash detection allows project teams to effectively identify, inspect and collaborate on clashes occurring across multiple design disciplines in all stages of the design process.

Oracle Aconex Clash in the Cloud provides an end-to-end clash detection process within a single common data environment, where all project participants can efficiently work together.

There are three key benefits of Oracle Aconex Clash in the Cloud:

• It is an automated, collaborative clash detection process. Once the rules have been set, the clash detection engine will automatically re-run the detection process each time a model is updated. This occurs for all organizations within an Aconex project.
• It is fully integrated with end-to-end construction processes. For example, a project participant could identify a clash, raise a subsequent design issue, and connect a request for information within a single common data environment. 
• The detection process depends on a high level of collaboration. Clash in the Cloud is visible to all project participants, providing immediate visibility and clarity for all stakeholders involved in the design coordination process. Responsibilities can be assigned to the relevant member of the project team so they can take ownership of their part of the process.

Clash in the Cloud is available within Model Coordination in Oracle Aconex, delivering a true end-to-end design coordination process.
