VDC Intelligence Engine

Clash detection powered by 20 years of field experience encoded into D1-backed rules:

• 9 severity rules — SMACNA, NEC, ACI 318, AISC, ASCE 7 standards

• 5 coordination standards — MEP clearance, structural proximity

• Fix suggestions — Real construction advice, not generic "move element"

• Rework estimation — Hours-to-fix based on actual project data
