Heritage Documentation Brief Template

Fillable template · Heritage Documentation

Agree the scope of a heritage documentation project before any fieldwork begins. Fill this in with the client or custodian so that objectives, protection status, deliverables and standards are recorded and signed off in one place. Applicable to photogrammetry, laser scanning, drone survey and HBIM projects.

Drone Survey Permission Application Pack (ASI / HR&CE / DGCA)

Application tracker · Drone Survey

Plan, assemble and track every permission needed to fly a drone over a heritage site in India, before you reach the field. This is a planning and tracking pack, not an on-site safety checklist — use it in the weeks before a survey to make sure each authority is approached in time.

Photogrammetry Capture Plan Template

Planning template · Photogrammetry

Plan a photogrammetry capture before mobilising to site, so that accuracy targets, equipment and coverage are worked out in advance rather than improvised on the day. This is the planning counterpart to the on-site Photogrammetry Capture Quality checklist — fill this before you travel; use the checklist while you shoot.

Ground Control Point Placement Guide & Field Log

Reference guide + field log · Geomatics

Place ground control points correctly and record their coordinates in the field. Poor GCP distribution is one of the most common causes of a warped or mis-scaled model. Use the placement rules to lay out control, then record every point in the field log so nothing is lost between site and desk.

HBIM Level of Detail (LoD) Specification Sheet

Reference specification · HBIM

Agree, in writing and element by element, how detailed a Heritage BIM model will be — before modelling starts. "An HBIM model" means very different things at different levels of detail, at very different costs. Use the reference to align on terms, then fill the specification so the client and modeller agree on exactly what each element will contain.

Heritage Buffer Zone Mapping Reference (AMASR)

Reference sheet · Documentation Standards

Understand and map the prohibited and regulated zones around centrally protected monuments in India under the AMASR Act and its amendments. Use this as a reference when planning construction, development or documentation near a protected monument, and to record whether the buffer rules apply to your project.

Temple Documentation Planning Worksheet

Planning worksheet · Temple Architecture

Plan the documentation of a temple as a working, living site — not just a building. A temple combines architecture, sculpture, inscriptions and ritual use, and each needs a different method and a different kind of access. Use this worksheet to inventory the elements, choose a method for each, and phase the work around ritual timings.
