HBIM - Heritage BIM

Digital documentation of historic buildings using laser scanning and photogrammetry. Specialized solutions for cultural heritage preservation.

TL;DR — Summary

HBIM (Heritage BIM) is a specialized BIM approach for digital preservation and documentation of historic buildings. At EOS Proje, we collect data with laser scanning at ±2mm precision, create models preserving irregular geometries, and perform damage analysis. We serve from Conservation Board projects to virtual museum applications.

Cultural Heritage

Digital Guardian of Historic Buildings

Unlike standard BIM, HBIM transfers the actual condition of historic buildings to digital environment by preserving irregular geometries, deformations, and deterioration information.

Unlike traditional survey methods, laser scanning captures every detail with millimetric precision, creating a critical base for the restoration process.

  • ±2mm precision 3D laser scanning
  • Preservation of irregular geometries
  • Damage and deterioration analysis
  • Stone-by-stone survey documentation
  • Conservation Board compatible outputs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HBIM

What is HBIM?
HBIM (Historic Building Information Modeling) is the digitization of historic buildings using laser scanning and photogrammetry, creating intelligent BIM models containing conservation information. Unlike standard BIM, it preserves irregular geometries and deterioration information.
Why HBIM instead of traditional survey?
HBIM offers much more accurate (±2mm), faster, and comprehensive data than traditional survey methods. Deformations, cracks, and material deterioration are documented and analyzable in digital form.
Which historic buildings can HBIM be applied to?
HBIM can be applied to any cultural heritage structure including mosques, churches, palaces, mansions, caravanserais, baths, civil architecture examples, and archaeological sites.
How does the HBIM process work?
The process: 1) Data collection with laser scanning and photogrammetry, 2) Point cloud processing, 3) Parametric modeling (including irregular geometries), 4) Adding material and deterioration information, 5) Creating conservation report.
What is stone-by-stone survey?
Stone-by-stone survey is the documentation of each individual stone in historic walls. It can be automatically detected with laser scanning or manually marked. Critical for planning restoration interventions.
Can HBIM be used for Conservation Board projects?
Yes. HBIM outputs are accepted in Conservation Board applications. Additionally, 2D sections, elevations, and detail drawings can be produced from the models.
