Scan to BIM for listed buildings, museums and monuments
Nothing is standard, nothing is straight, and the record has to satisfy a conservation officer. We build bespoke families and preserve the irregularity that tells the real story of how a building has aged.
Sector snapshot
What usually drives the briefHistoric detail preserved, not simplified away
Generic BIM libraries were never built for hand carved stone or a mediaeval vault. We build bespoke families from the scanned geometry itself, keeping the settlement and deformation that generic modeling would iron out.
Deliverables are formatted to the requirements of heritage bodies and grant funders, so the survey does more than sit in an archive. It actively supports the consent or funding case it was commissioned for. This work is delivered through our dedicated heritage BIM modeling service.
Why sector experience matters here
- Bespoke families built from measured geometry, not a generic library
- Historic deformation and settlement preserved, not straightened
- Deliverables formatted for heritage body and grant requirements
- Condition mapping available alongside the geometric record

Heritage and Culture questions we hear most
Straight answers so you can scope your project with confidence.
Yes. For fine carving we deliver mesh geometry from the scan alongside the parametric model, which holds detail that standard families would lose.
No, unless asked to. Historic lean and settlement is often the most valuable part of the record, and we can supply an idealised comparison alongside the measured survey if needed.
In most jurisdictions a measured survey to this standard supports consent applications well. We format deliverables to your heritage authority requirements and include a methodology statement.
Yes, this is one of our most common heritage engagements. We format documentation to match the evidence requirements of common heritage funding bodies.
