The problem
Historic buildings can be difficult to revisit or measure, while condition and access change over time. Incomplete records make it harder to plan sensitive restoration work or share knowledge.
What we do
We capture accessible architectural features and spaces to build a digital record for documentation and preservation. The scope is planned around the site, access restrictions and intended use, giving conservation teams a reference they can revisit without relying on isolated photographs.
Suitable applications
- Condition recording before intervention
- Conservation and repair planning
- Archival records of at-risk fabric
- Monitoring of movement and deterioration
Process
Project discovery
We establish the site, required accuracy, intended use, safety constraints and deliverable.
Capture planning
We agree site access, coverage, deliverables and data-handling requirements before the visit.
Capture
Field capture follows the agreed site and safety procedures, with coverage checked before demobilisation.
Processing and quality control
Captured information is reviewed and checked against the agreed project requirements.
Delivery and support
Deliverables are issued in the agreed formats with clear file organisation and technical support.
Technical scope & deliverables
- Registered point cloud
- Measured drawings
- Archive mesh
- Condition record
Supported formats
Final formats are agreed according to project requirements, client software and intended use. We confirm support for a format after testing it against your software.
Accuracy considerations
Capture is non-contact and does not require scaffolding or physical access to the fabric. Surfaces not visible from an accessible scan position cannot be recorded.
Project-specific accuracy and methodology are confirmed during scope development. We do not publish a universal accuracy figure, because a single number cannot hold true across every site condition.
