The coordination of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems has emerged as a significant challenge for the construction industry. Traditionally, spatial interferences between MEP systems have been resolved through the use of 2D drawings, which is an inefficient and time-consuming process that can result in significant costs. Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is a tool that can facilitate multidisciplinary coordination, has been identified in numerous studies as an effective approach to clash resolution. Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is believed to have the potential to be a productive method for automating clash resolution. Our research categorized clash resolution methods into two categories: manual, and automatic solutions. The manual method, which is the traditional approach, involves conducting MEP coordination using BIM. The automatic approach utilizes AI to automate the coordination process in less time. As part of our research, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of over 91 articles published between 2006 and 2023 (March). The purpose of this research was to identify and summarize common methods for resolving MEP clashes in order to assess the current state of the construction industry. Additionally, the article identifies trends and limitations in the current scientific literature and serves as a roadmap for future research and the development of clash resolution standards. This article serves as an initial part of broader research aimed at presenting an AI method to assisting BIM coordinators in clash resolution.
