Abstract
Research on the digital built environment in the context of identifying and minimizing
clashes is a critical area to investigate owing to the significant influence of clashes on the construction
process. This research aims to identify the current state of building information modeling (BIM)
enabled clash detection in the architecture, engineering, and construction and operation (AECO)
industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It further identifies the main reasons for clash occurrence,
methods, and practices used to decrease the workload on BIM project teams. It also recognizes
the existence of BIM departments (their type and functionalities). It aims to answer whether the
transition from clash detection to clash avoidance is possible in a country where BIM technology
has just penetrated. This research conducted a literature review and review of current regulatory
documents regarding BIM technology, interviews with industry professionals, and a survey among
construction companies and design organizations. Although the AECO industry of Kazakhstan has
just entered the BIM environment, this research has shown that BIM-enabled clash detection and
resolution processes are trying to evolve in parallel. It was concluded that the transition is difficult in
a country where document assistance with clash detection and resolution is not well developed.
