Using the clash detective tool within Navisworks is fine, but BIMcollab makes the process of creating issues and reporting them to the project teams far more streamlined and automated. Matthew Bannister, digital engineer with Laing O’Rourke, is currently working on the project Sir Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials. They have been commissioned by the university of Manchester to to construct a state of the art research facility at its campus in the city centre.
The building has a gross area of 16.000 m2, spread over eight floors, with one basement level. Research areas will include: nuclear, 2D nano-materials, bio-chemical and ultra-sensitive vibration monitoring.

My credo is to keep an open mind about learning new technologies, software and processes.
What may seem like more work in the beginning, will be a great benefit later on.

In my opinion, the current coordination process needed to be updated.
