MEP coordination - field note 018

During the HVAC fit‑out for the 5‑storey museum in Jaipur, I noticed a clash between the chilled water riser and the structural beam. By collaborating with the MEP vendor, we rerouted the pipe through a 20 mm clearance and updated the BIM model, avoiding a 12 % cost increase. Lesson: early clash detection saves time.

• Conduct a joint BIM review every fortnight.
• Use clash‑report export to generate action items.
• Verify clearances on the site before installation.
• Update the change‑order log in the project management system.
