Laser Scanning for Historic Preservation

Do you need to update an historic structure while preserving
its architectural heritage?

Have you had difficulty getting on the National Register due to
lack of documentation?

In the event of a disaster, are your as-built drawings sufficient to
restore your building?

Typical Historic Preservation Challenges
Architects face a number of challenges to meeting or beating budgets or schedules when planning and executing additions, renovations and restorations for historic structures.  These include difficulty restoring the building back to the original architect’s intent, delays in registration as an historic landmark due to the lack of accurate documentation, and the fundamental lack of original design documentation for decorative facades, moldings, cornices, staircases, and other critical building elements.  The result is construction delays, schedule overruns, and lost opportunity to save important historic structures.
 
Capabilities that Address the Challenges

 What if your team could be provided with a high-resolution digitized version of a building, both interior and exterior, that was dimensionally accurate and could be integrated with your CAD application?  What would the impact be on manual data collection efforts and field trips?

What if accurate drawings and models, including ornamentation and other details, could be created from the “digitized building”?  How would this impact schematic preparation?  Would being able to validate historic documentation be beneficial when presenting a building for preservation?

What if BIM 3D models could be developed using the “digitized building”?  Would this help support 3D design?  Would this advance sustainability and green design efforts by providing a base for computational models?

What if you could integrate information with the “digitized building”, such as drawings, maintenance guides and more?  How would this impact asset and facility management?

If you had these capabilities, could you integrate project delivery to meet or beat budget or schedule and improve design, construction and preservation?

Quantapoint can provide you with these capabilities.
