Historic
Preservation
Create a permanent, photorealistic, and fully measurable 3D record of heritage buildings — before time, weather, or disaster changes them forever.
A Building Changes. The Record Doesn't.
Once we capture the 3D model, every measurement, texture, and proportional detail is preserved — forever accessible, regardless of what happens to the physical structure.
Our Heritage Documentation Process
Click each step to understand the preservation documentation workflow
Pre-Project Research
We review available historical records, drawings, and prior condition reports for the structure. This guides our documentation priorities — which architectural details, decorative elements, and structural features need the highest resolution capture.
How Heritage 3D Data Is Used
Restoration Design Base
Preservation architects use the 3D model as the geometric base for designing repair scopes, replacement masonry profiles, and restoration details.
HABS/HAER Documentation
Meet Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record documentation standards for National Register nominations and preservation tax credit projects.
Condition Monitoring
Periodic re-capture of the same structure allows change detection — identifying displacement, crack growth, or material loss between survey dates.
Virtual Public Access
Publish the 3D model as a browser-accessible virtual tour, giving the public and researchers worldwide access to buildings not open to visitors.
Disaster Preparedness
Create a pre-loss 3D record of irreplaceable heritage structures before fire, flood, or natural disaster destroys them — enabling accurate post-disaster reconstruction.
Research & Education
Provide architectural history researchers, archaeologists, and engineering students with accurate, measurable 3D data for analysis and teaching.
