Heritage Surveying

Preserving the Past with Precision

From historic landmarks to cultural institutions, our surveys provide the accuracy needed to protect, restore, and reimagine heritage assets for generations to come.

The Challenge
Heritage and cultural sites hold irreplaceable historical and architectural value; but with that comes complexity.

Ageing materials, fragile structures, and undocumented modifications often make redevelopment or restoration difficult.

Conventional survey methods risk damage or miss vital detail. The challenge lies in capturing every feature – from intricate façades to hidden structural elements – without disturbing the fabric of the building.

Why Accuracy Matters...
Every millimetre counts when working with listed and historic buildings.
Accurate data ensures that:

Architects and conservationists can design sympathetically

preserving original character while introducing modern safety and access.

Contractors avoid structural risks

with precise data on walls, vaults, and internal spaces.

Digital preservation becomes possible

safeguarding information long after restoration is complete.

Funding and planning approvals are strengthened

with accurate, verifiable documentation.

What Sets Us Apart

Trusted by councils, architects and conservation bodies to handle sensitive, listed and historic sites.

Creating long-term digital records that safeguard history while supporting future works.

High-density point cloud data for unmatched accuracy and detail.

Working closely with architects, planners and conservation officers to balance precision with preservation.

From capture to BIM, all work is completed by our skilled in-house team for full consistency and control.

Technology in Action

We utilise cutting-edge tools like the Trimble X7 Laser Scanner and CHC RS10 SLAM Scanner to capture both expansive and confined areas efficiently.

These systems allow us to:
  • Work safely in restricted or delicate environments.
  • Capture data at multiple scales — from vaulted ceilings to carved stonework.
  • Produce deliverables including point clouds, Revit/BIM models and orthophotos.
Balancing Tradition and Technology
Preserving the past doesn’t mean resisting progress.

By pairing traditional surveying expertise with digital innovation, we help bring heritage buildings into the future, enabling restoration that honours history while meeting modern standards of safety, access, and sustainability.
