Hey, I've been looking into how BIM software can cut down rework on the job site—have you tried any digital solutions to keep your plans flawless?

I’ve tried a few BIM packages before. If the software keeps the drawings accurate and everyone follows the same data, it cuts rework a lot, but only if you stick to the details and don’t skip the checks.

Sounds like you’re on the right track—just make sure you’re actually using a clash detection workflow and automating the model coordination step. If you can lock the IFC export and set up a quick audit script to flag any missing constraints, the rework drops by a ton. Have you tried any open‑source clash checkers or a custom Python routine to run nightly on your model? It’s a tiny extra step that pays off big time.

Yeah, I’ve hooked up a nightly Python run with the open‑source clash checker. It pulls the IFC, runs the basic geometry and constraint tests, and dumps a list back into the project folder. I still do a manual check every now and then, but the script catches most of the obvious gaps before anyone hits the concrete. It’s a small extra step, but it saves a lot of headaches when the crew is on the site.
