A special type of inventory involves surveying historic buildings for their protection, design and renovation work, condition assessment, as well as for promoting them as tourist attractions.
The most commonly surveyed and documented structures include sacral buildings such as churches, chapels, mausoleums, monasteries, and cemeteries, as well as residential and commercial buildings whose technical condition (due to their age) often poses challenges for designers. This information is also invaluable for owners and facility managers.
A particularly important category comprises historic public utility buildings, which remain in daily use and are subject to stricter building and fire safety regulations. Another group includes monuments, sculptures, and elements of small architectural structures and their decorations, which (due to their intricate details) require highly precise measurement and documentation.
Depending on the type of structure, we employ 3D laser scanning technology supplemented by photogrammetric measurements using drones. We deliver both paper and digital documentation. Point clouds, 2D and 3D documentation, CAD and BIM models are among the products we provide, offering a reliable source of information for designers, heritage conservators, construction contractors, owners, and managers, thanks to the high accuracy of measurements and the ability to capture the natural color palette.
The short measurement time and the ability to conduct surveys from a safe distance while maintaining high precision are key advantages of this technology. This is especially critical for structures in poor technical condition, located in geologically unstable areas, or affected by mining activities and other anthropogenic factors. These are just some of the benefits that make this method ideal for surveying historic buildings, which often represent unique cultural heritage of immeasurable value.
Laser scanning and photogrammetry do not interfere with the structure of the object in any way.
The ability to generate multiple complex products through post-processing from a single measurement.
Documentation and archiving aimed at preserving heritage for future generations.
High data accuracy allows the creation of highly detailed 2D and 3D documentation with excellent resolution.
Significantly faster measurements compared to traditional methods.
Minimal environmental impact compared to conventional documentation techniques.
Fast measurement reduces risks associated with working in hazardous or unstable locations.
Enables the creation of visualizations, animations, and virtual tours for advertising and educational purposes.
Supports detailed scientific and restoration studies and analyses.
