Surveying in Accordance with Preservation Guidelines | Wichtrach Farmhouse

Historic preservation is a major priority in Switzerland, and it is crucial that all elements worthy of preservation be safeguarded during renovation and remodeling projects. In this context, VDE offers a high-quality surveying solution with its Premium Drawing Standard.

A recent example of the use of this drawing standard is this project, in which the as-built condition of a historic farmhouse had to be captured with millimeter precision. To achieve this, a 3D laser scanner was used to capture all details and elements worthy of preservation in a point cloud. From the millions of points, a precise 3D building model was created with great attention to detail.

The result was an accurate and highly detailed model of the building that fully met the needs of the client, the architect, and the historic preservation authorities. The renovation and remodeling could thus be planned and carried out without endangering the elements worthy of preservation.
