Digitization of cultural, historical and artistic heritage
From 3D laser surveys to HBIM modeling, Geomap supports public bodies and cultural institutions in the digitization, enhancement, and technical management of protected assets, with solutions compliant with National Guidelines and interoperable with specialized platforms.
What Geomap offers for the digitization of cultural heritage
Technology, method, and cultural sensitivity to document, model, and manage historical, architectural, and archaeological heritage with compliant, interoperable, and conservation-oriented digital tools.
High-density 3D surveys: laser scanners, photogrammetry, and drones
We perform highly precise surveys of architectural heritage, excavations, monuments, and historical sites using static 3D laser scanners, mobile mapping, terrestrial photogrammetry, and aerial photogrammetric surveys with drones.
The result is a dense, georeferenced, and highly geometrically accurate point cloud, suitable for HBIM modeling, conservation analysis, and scientific study.
HBIM modeling according to national standards
We convert point clouds into accurate 2D, 3D, and HBIM models, created according to the required Levels of Detail (LOD) and Levels of Information (LOI).
The models are documented, reversible, and interoperable, compliant with the National Scan to BIM Guidelines, and designed to integrate historical components, materials, and conservation phases.

Digital Twin per la digitalizzazione del patrimonio artistico, architetture storiche e complessi monumentali
We create a navigable digital copy of the property, complete with geometries, technical information, plans, materials, and state of conservation.
The Digital Twin is accessible online and can be updated over time, becoming a tool for technical management, tourism promotion, or support for scheduled maintenance.
Platforms for the scheduled maintenance of cultural heritage
Modeled assets can be managed using Geomap UFM, configured for historic assets: planning and tracking maintenance activities, document management, reporting, and costs.
An operational tool capable of combining technical rigor and management sustainability.

Frequently asked questions about HBIM and the digitization of cultural heritage
What is the difference between BIM and HBIM?
BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a digital modeling method applied primarily to new buildings, while HBIM (Historic BIM) is an extension designed for existing and protected heritage buildings.
HBIM takes into account historical stratification, materials, geometric irregularities, and conservation elements, with a more flexible and document-based approach, compliant with the National Scan to BIM Guidelines.
Is laser scanning invasive? Does it require authorization?
No, laser scanning is a non-invasive, non-destructive, and completely reversible technique.
In many cases, no authorization is required, but in the presence of restrictions (Legislative Decree 42/2004), it is always recommended to consult with the Superintendency in advance, also to include the activity in the project documentation.
What types of templates are provided and in what formats?
The models produced can be 2D (plans, sections, elevations) or 3D (HBIM).
They are delivered in open and interoperable formats, such as IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), or in native formats (Revit, DWG, PDF, .e57 cloud, or .rcp).
The level of detail (LOD), information (LOI), and geometry (LOG) are agreed upon during the project phase based on the objectives: conservation, restoration, management, and enhancement.
Is it possible to integrate the models into software already in use by museums, foundations or universities?
Yes. Geomap guarantees maximum data interoperability with cataloging, archiving, viewing, or management software already in use by the institution.
We support alignment with ICCD layouts, connection to CDE (Common Data Environment), and data export in structured formats (CSV, XML, IFC, JSON).
Can the surveys and models be used in PNRR projects or ministerial calls for proposals?
Yes. The activities performed by Geomap (surveys, HBIM modeling, digital twin, classification) are perfectly compatible with the requirements of the PNRR Culture, UNESCO Sites, Foundations, and MIC calls for proposals.
In many cases, the digital twin or HBIM model constitutes a qualifying technical basis, useful both in the design and reporting phases.
Can the HBIM model be updated or expanded over time?
Yes. The HBIM model provided by Geomap is built with an open and updatable logic.
It can be enriched with new data, documents, conservation records, or intervention histories.
Furthermore, when integrated with management platforms, the model can become an operational tool for scheduled maintenance and long-term monitoring.
