abstract = "Achieving efficacy and economy is an ongoing pursuit for the Canadian construction industry. However, obstacles in Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based multidisciplinary coordination and the substantial number of clashes in the federated model hamper BIM-based practices to optimize the benefit of this collaborative use of technology. As the first step in resolving this problem, different groups of researchers have pointed out the most impactful obstacles to BIM coordination and the causes of clashes. Other investigators have recommended different approaches for mitigating the identified obstacles and causes of clashes. The natural next step for increasing efficiency in the construction industry is identifying the most effective solution framework to avoid coordination obstacles, thus reducing the number of clashes to be resolved. In the earlier stage of this work, consolidated overviews of solution frameworks were formulated that draw connections between the obstacles and causes of clashes, their solutions, and the phases of BIM coordination where they have the most effect. However, whether the proposed frameworks apply to the construction industry in its current state is yet to be determined. This step is necessary to ensure that any proactive avoidance strategy devised, based on the proposed framework will be optimally impactful for the construction industry. This paper describes the process of validating the proposed frameworks formulated in the earlier stage of this research in addition to developing a methodology for effective clash avoidance. This work will assist researchers to understand the process followed to identify the most effective proactive clash avoidance strategy in addition to the preliminary stages to develop a robust data collection method and workflow of a recommendation system based on BIM experts{\textquoteright} opinions.",
