Features of the survey and monitoring of the technical condition of cultural heritage objects based on the BIM model

In Russia, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming a mandatory requirement for the construction of new buildings. There is a positive experience in the implementation and examination of projects with BIM. A number of Russian companies have already introduced and are actively using information design technologies in their activities. However, at the current moment, the use of BIM in Russia is at the start. This paper shows examples of the use of BIM and laser scanning in the development of scientific and project documentation for cultural heritage sites. The paper shows the stages of engineering research. A comparison is made between traditional methods of building inspection and with the method of laser scanning. The key advantages of using a BIM model at the design stage, restoration and subsequent stages of the object’s life cycle are shown. The promising areas of application of BIM technologies, laser scanning technologies at different stages of the life cycle of an object (buildings, structures, utilities) have been identified
