Start with these

Clash detection
The automated checking of a federated model to find places where elements conflict physically, violate required clearances or conflict in time.
Design-bid-build (DBB)
The traditional delivery method in which the owner first has the design completed by consultants, then invites contractors to bid on it, then awards a separate construction contract — usually for a stipulated price.

Going further

Commissioning (Cx)
A quality-focused process that verifies and documents that a building's systems are designed, installed, tested and able to operate as the owner requires, and that operators are trained to run them.
Construction management (CM)
A project delivery method in which the owner engages a construction manager early to advise on cost, schedule and constructability during design, and to manage the procurement and execution of the work through trade contracts.
Integrated project delivery (IPD)
A collaborative delivery approach in which the owner, designers and builder work as one team, usually under a single multi-party agreement, sharing risk and reward according to project outcomes.
Level of development (LOD)
A numbered scale (LOD 100–400, plus 500 in some frameworks) describing how far a model element's geometry and information have been developed — and therefore how much other team members can rely on it.
