Recording a listed church to support a stone repair grant application
A parish council needed accurate measured documentation of a Grade II listed church to support a heritage grant application for stone repair, including a vaulted ceiling and window tracery that no existing drawing had ever captured.

Project overview
Documenting a listed church for a stone repair funding case
A parish council needed accurate measured documentation of a Grade II listed church to support a heritage grant application for stone repair, including the vaulted ceiling and window tracery that no existing drawing had ever captured.
We modeled the building with bespoke families for the stone tracery and vaulting, kept the historic settlement in the walls rather than straightening it, and produced rectified elevation images with condition notes mapped directly onto them for the conservation architect.
Access to the high level vaulting required a scissor lift survey over three days, coordinated with the parish to avoid conflicting with regular services.
This project was delivered through our heritage BIM modeling service. See more heritage and culture work on our industry page.

From first scan to the final measured drawing set
Business impact
Grant approved without a single funding body query
The grant funding body approved the repair application without a single follow up query, a rare outcome for a submission of this complexity, credited largely to the clarity of the measured survey and condition evidence supplied alongside it.
Grant approved without a funding body query
Repair sequencing prioritised using the condition survey
Permanent digital record created for future conservation work
“The deformation survey gave our conservation architect evidence nobody has had for this building before. It changed how the repair was specified.”
