Preserving History Through Technology

HERITAGE SURVEYING

Digital Documentation

At the intersection of history and innovation, we stand as pioneers in heritage building documentation. Dawood’s expert team harnesses cutting-edge technology to create precise digital records of historical structures. Our tools and process empowers property owners, asset managers, and conservation specialists to protect their architectural treasures.

Every stone, architectural detail, and historical element carries centuries of storiesand we are dedicated to preserving these ballads using advanced digital documentation.

How We Do It

Our heritage documentation services represent the pinnacle of architectural preservation technology. Through high-precision 3D laser scanning, we capture the intricate details of historical structures with millimeter accuracy. This technology, combined with our expertise in architectural documentation and conservation planning, creates a comprehensive preservation strategy for every project.

Documentation Process and Deliverables

Our streamlined workflow ensures that each project includes a complete digital package with all relevant files. A precise digital record, Dawood documentation can be used by architects, conservators, and other heritage specialists.

Initial Site Survey

We begin with a thorough site assessment to determine optimal scanning positions and identify technical challenges. This preliminary survey allows us to:

  • Plan efficient scanning sequences.
  • Identify access requirements.
  • Establish survey control points.
  • Define project scope and timeline.

Data Acquisition

Using our professional scanning equipment, we capture the complete structure’s:

  • External facades and features.
  • Internal spaces and architectural elements.
  • Hard-to-reach areas.
  • Surrounding context where relevant.

Data Processing

Our technical team processes the captured data using specialized software to create:

  • Registered point clouds.
  • Accurate 3D mesh models.
  • Detailed CAD drawings.
  • BIM models.

Deliverable Formats

We provide all documentation in industry-standard formats:

  • Point cloud data (.rcp, .pts).
  • CAD files (.dwg).
  • 3D models (.rvt, .ifc).
  • Technical drawings (.pdf).
  • High-resolution imagery.
