Clash detection
The automated checking of a federated model to find places where elements conflict physically, violate required clearances or conflict in time.
Federated model

Shop drawing
A drawing, diagram or set of details prepared by a contractor, trade or supplier to show exactly how a specific part of the work will be fabricated and installed.
Going further
BIM Collaboration Format (BCF)
An open buildingSMART standard for exchanging model-based issues — comments, viewpoints and the affected elements — between BIM tools without exchanging the models themselves.
Constructability review
A structured review of design documents by people with construction experience to find problems with buildability, sequencing, access, cost or safety before the design is issued for construction.
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.
