Existing Conditions Surveys for Historic Preservation

Heritage Existing Conditions Survey & As Built Documentation

Preserving the intricate details of historic buildings requires a nuanced approach, and MYND Workshop's 2D As Built Documentation services provide just that. Leveraging advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we transform point cloud data into detailed 2D CAD drawings, offering a comprehensive depiction of facades, ornaments, and intricate plasterwork ceilings. This meticulous documentation serves as an essential reference for restoration projects, aiding in the accurate replacement of architectural elements and guiding conservation efforts.
