Who should be responsible for conducting collision checks the most? Many people initially think it’s the design team since they create the drawings and should ensure their accuracy.
However, in reality, it is the developers and construction teams who play the primary role in performing collision inspections. The reason is straightforward: it’s well known that drawings produced by design institutes often contain errors and clashes. When issues arise, the design institute typically only makes design changes without assuming any accountability.
For developers, though, collision problems have a direct impact—they increase construction costs and cause delays, leading to significant losses. Some developers even shift responsibility for rework caused by drawing errors onto the construction teams, requiring them to correct these mistakes during joint drawing reviews. This practice forces construction units to pay close attention to collision detection.
Ultimately, whether driven by developer demands or their own standards, construction units also have a strong incentive for collision checks to improve build quality and shorten project timelines. How the construction team utilizes collision inspection—whether for early problem avoidance or claim preparation—depends on their approach and application.
