Turning Clash Detection into Actionable Design Co-ordination Insight with Revizto and Power BI
Background
Using Revizto well — and reporting on it
Tier 1 contractors adopting Revizto for BIM collaboration, real-time clash co-ordination and design workflow management are generating significant issue data across their projects. The opportunity is turning that data into consistent, accessible management reporting.
Senior and project teams need better visibility of clash resolution performance, issue status, deadlines and supply chain engagement — and a way to drive consistent clash detection standards across the portfolio. Acumine builds the reporting layer that closes that gap: not just a dashboard, but a practical tool that gives teams a stronger basis for managing design co-ordination and reducing risk before it reaches site.
Limited visibility of resolution performance
No consistent summary view of issue volumes, status or deadline performance — making it difficult to prioritise action or understand where design co-ordination risk is building.
Driving consistent clash detection standards
Without portfolio-wide visibility of how Revizto was being used, it was difficult to identify where adoption was low, drive consistent clash detection practices across projects or understand how effectively the supply chain was engaging.
API and data constraints
The Revizto API requires careful handling — some data fields are for internal use only, and certain activity is only tracked when changed on a given day rather than cumulatively.
Multiple audiences to serve
The reporting needs to work for senior leadership, business unit teams and project-level users — giving the right level of visibility to each without compromising governance.
Context
Why clash detection matters in construction
In construction, a clash occurs when two design components occupy the same space or fail to meet defined clearance requirements. Resolving them in a virtual environment before work begins on site avoids costly rework, delays and disruption.
Hard clashes
Direct conflicts
Two physical components occupy the same space — a direct conflict that requires immediate resolution. These are the most common and most urgent clash type.
Soft clashes
Clearance conflicts
Elements do not physically intersect but fail to meet predefined spacing requirements, potentially affecting maintenance access and operational efficiency.
Workflow clashes
Sequencing conflicts
The sequencing of construction tasks leads to logistical conflicts — access issues or installation order problems — affecting project timelines and work efficiency.
The solution
A reporting layer built around operational reality
Rather than trying to impose artificial KPIs on complex source data, Acumine builds a practical reporting framework focused on the questions teams most need to answer.
The reporting is designed to support teams in project reviews and co-ordination meetings — giving clear visibility of where issues are building up, who needs to act, which deadlines are at risk and how actively Revizto is being used. The solution also includes insight the application itself does not provide: issues due in the next 15 business days, re-open analysis and filtering across nine dimensions. Acumine has worked directly with Revizto to extend the API dataset, enabling richer reporting than the standard integration allows.
01
Issue status tracking
Clear visibility of open, in-progress, solved and closed issues across projects — with trend views showing how status is changing over time.
02
Deadline and overdue monitoring
Issues due in the next 15 business days and overdue issues surfaced prominently — giving teams and leadership earlier sight of resolution risk.
03
Re-opened issue analysis
Visibility of issues being re-opened highlights where resolution quality is low or where underlying design conflicts are recurring — a dimension not available in the application itself.
04
User adoption and supply chain engagement
Detailed views of how actively Revizto is being used by internal teams and the supply chain — supporting oversight of collaboration performance.
05
Issue drill-through
Direct drill-through to individual issues, including links back into Revizto — enabling rapid investigation and follow-up from within the reporting environment.
Access and governance
The right view for every audience
The reporting model uses audience-based access controls, ensuring the solution can serve different users at project, business unit and company level without losing control of project visibility.
Senior leadership
Company-wide visibility
Full access to all reporting modules and projects — enabling leadership to monitor design co-ordination risk across the entire portfolio and understand adoption patterns at business level.
Business unit users
Regional portfolio view
Access scoped to their own portfolio of projects — giving regional teams the oversight they need to manage design risk and collaboration without visibility of projects outside their remit.
Project users
Project-level reporting
Restricted to project-level reporting for their assigned projects — enabling project teams to use the reporting in co-ordination meetings and day-to-day issue management.
Outcomes
Better design co-ordination, powered by data
Better operational visibility of design co-ordination
Teams gain a clearer view of clash and issue activity across projects — what is open, what is overdue, how status is changing and where attention is needed. Teams no longer have to navigate the application itself to understand the overall picture.
Stronger support for project reviews and co-ordination meetings
Design team and co-ordination meetings can be informed by clearer issue reporting — giving teams a practical basis for assigning action, following up unresolved clashes and managing the supply chain more effectively.
Better supply chain and adoption oversight for project teams
Project teams and co-ordination managers gain clear visibility of how actively Revizto is being used — by their own team and by the supply chain. This gives them a stronger basis for driving engagement, following up inactive participants and holding the supply chain accountable in design co-ordination meetings.
A foundation for growing BIM maturity
As businesses move towards more consistent clash detection workflows and greater BIM maturity, the reporting platform provides a foundation that can evolve alongside them — supporting more standardised cross-project insight over time.
Technology
Revizto issue data, structured for management use in Power BI
The solution combines Revizto's API data with a Microsoft Fabric medallion lakehouse — structuring issue and activity data through governed layers into Power BI reporting that serves project, regional and company-level audiences. Acumine has worked directly with Revizto to extend the API where the standard dataset is insufficient.
