HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Document a historic structure without touching it.
Drone and 3D laser scanning documentation for historic buildings and preservation projects — a non-invasive way to capture a structure's exact existing condition, without scaffolding or physical access to fragile areas.

Millimeter-Accurate Scanning
3D laser scanning for exact existing conditions
Historic structures need documentation that respects their condition — no scaffolding, no physical contact with fragile facades or rooflines. Drone photography and thermal imaging reach the areas a ladder can't, and 3D laser scanning captures an exact, measurable record of a structure's current condition for preservation planning, restoration work, or a grant or historic-designation application.
WHAT WE OFFER
Built for preservation-sensitive documentations
3D Laser Scanning & Existing-Conditions Documentation
Millimeter-accurate point cloud data of a historic structure's exact current condition — useful for restoration planning without physical contact.
Drone Thermal Roof & Facade Inspections
Identify roof moisture and facade issues on a historic structure without scaffolding or physical access.
As-Built Documentation & Floor Plans
Accurate documentation of a historic building's current layout, useful when original drawings don't exist or don't match reality.
Aerial & Detail Photography
High-resolution photography of rooflines, cupolas, and architectural details from angles a ladder can't safely reach.
Before & After Restoration Documentation
Comparable imagery captured before and after restoration work, useful for the project record and any grant reporting.
Matterport Virtual Tours
A walkable 3D record of a historic interior, useful for documentation, planning, or public interest and fundraising.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — we plan flights and site visits around facility schedules, patient privacy, and operational needs, and coordinate timing directly with your team.
-
Yes — that's part of the value. Drone documentation doesn't require any physical contact with the structure, unlike scaffolding or a ladder.
-
3D laser scanning produces millimeter-accurate point cloud data, which restoration architects and contractors can use for precise planning.
-
Yes — we're glad to work directly with preservation architects, historical societies, and building owners.
-
Yes, reach out with the current site conditions and we'll let you know what's possible.
