&lt;p&gt;My guess is clash detection genuinely shifts when problems get caught, catching the geometric conflicts, two systems literally occupying the same space, well before anyone&#39;s on site. What still slips through tends to be the stuff a model can&#39;t predict: actual installation tolerances, sequencing conflicts between trades working the same area at different times, or field conditions that don&#39;t match the as-built assumptions the model was built on. So the timeline benefit is real, it&#39;s just narrower than &quot;catch everything early&quot; implies, teams still budget for some field coordination regardless of how clean the federated model looked on screen.&lt;/p&gt;
