The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space. There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. They both are confident to be following well established building-documenting practices.

As Building Information Model (BIM) technology has expanded to include more workflows for rebar detailing adoption of these capabilities within the industry has accelerated. Owner requirements for using BIM on project has also been a factor driving adoption, particularly in markets with government BIM mandates such as the U.S. and the UK.

When Kate Simonen, a professor who leads the Carbon Leadership Forum at the University of Washington, was a young architect experimenting with alternative approaches to conventional concrete. She called up her structural engineer on an educational-building project and asked if they could swap out some of the cement in their mix for fly ash.

Moreover, “Progress is hampered by poor coordination between trades, incomplete drawings and specifications, and underfunding by the owner that slows cash flow and causes further conflict and delay. Now, architects and structural engineers are working side by side with the general contractor. Why trust and collaboration matter.

These conflicts, or “clashes,” arise when different design components, such as structural elements, HVAC systems, or electrical conduits, intersect or interfere with the buffer zone of another object. Architects, MEP engineers, and structural engineers often independently create models during the design process.
