3D scanning and measured records for Ghana’s forts, museums and historic buildings

Scannova Solutions creates 3D digital records of heritage sites in Ghana. One visit captures a walkable, measured 3D model of a site, with floor plans and high-resolution images. Your team can measure it, annotate it and share it by link, then capture it again next year to see what has changed.

Why a 3D record

A 3D record isn’t a souvenir. It’s a working tool.

A building you can’t measure is a building you can’t fully protect. Here is what a measured, dated 3D record does for a heritage site.

01

Baseline

A dated, measured snapshot of the site exactly as it is today.

02

Change

Capture again next year, compare the two, and see cracks, erosion and repairs. One scan is useful. A scan every year is a monitoring system.

03

Planning

Conservators and engineers measure walls, rooms and openings without travelling to the site.

04

Access

Diaspora visitors, students and people who can’t travel walk the site from a phone.

05

Storytelling

The same model can feed VR, audio guides, exhibitions and online visits.

What one capture gives you

One visit. Six outputs. Value every year after.

01

A walkable 3D model

Shared with a single link. It opens in any browser, on any phone, with no app to install.

02

Measurements in the browser

Walls, rooms, openings and heights, measured straight from the model.

03

Floor plans of every level

Measured 2D floor plans for reports, maintenance and visitor maps, with CAD files on request.

04

High-resolution images

Photographs for condition reports, archives, publications and press.

05

Notes pinned to exact spots

Tag cracks, repairs, objects and stories to the place they belong.

06

A point cloud, on request

For conservation, CAD, BIM and VR work by your own specialists.

How we work on a heritage site

Agree, plan, capture, process, use, repeat.

Step 1 matters most. The best record is the one the site’s own team asked for and can use.

Step 1

Agree

Areas, rules and outputs are set with the site’s managers. Heritage sites have rules for good reasons.

Step 2

Plan

We map scan positions so every room, wall and passage connects into one model.

Step 3

Capture

Each scan position takes seconds, so a day covers a lot of ground with little disruption to visitors.

Step 4

Process

The scans join into one measured 3D model, online within 24 hours of the capture for a typical building.

Step 5

Use

Walk it, measure it, pin notes, share a link, and export plans, images or a point cloud.

Step 6

Repeat

Capture again each year and compare, so the record becomes a monitoring system.

Access for everyone

Not everyone can travel to Cape Coast or Elmina.

A family in the diaspora planning their first trip. A school in Tamale with no budget for a coastal excursion. An older visitor who can’t manage the stairs and uneven floors. A wheelchair user.

A walkable 3D record gives each of them a way in. It doesn’t replace the visit. It’s a start, and for some people it’s the only visit they’ll get.

Training for your team

We train the people who look after the site.

A record is only useful if your own team can use it. Training can be added to any heritage proposal, on site or online.

Use the record

Navigate, measure and annotate the 3D model, and share it with colleagues and partners.

Report from it

Export floor plans, images and measurements for condition reports and funding applications.

Plan the next capture

Know what to record, when, and how to compare one year with the next.

Understand the capture

See how a site is planned and scanned, so your team can brief and supervise future work.

Pricing

Priced by proposal, for each site.

Every heritage site differs in size, access and rules. Tell us about the site, we arrange a short scoping call, and you receive a written proposal with the outputs, timeline and price.

Heritage pilot · One site

We’re looking for one heritage partner.

We will capture one museum, monument or historic building as a pilot, with the areas, rules and outputs agreed with the site’s managers before we arrive. Your team gets the record and the training to use it.

Museums, monument sites, cultural centres and the teams that run them are welcome to apply. Tell us the site and who manages it.

FAQ

Questions about 3D heritage documentation

Is 3D scanning safe for fragile buildings and objects?

Yes. The capture is non-contact: the equipment stands on a tripod and records light, so nothing touches walls, floors or collections. We agree the areas and any restrictions with the site’s managers before the visit.

Do you need permission to capture a heritage site?

Yes, and we only capture with the agreement of the people who manage the site. Areas, rules and outputs are set with them first. Where a public body manages the site, the request comes from or is approved by that body.

What do we receive after a capture?

A walkable 3D model shared by link, measurements in the browser, floor plans of every level, high-resolution images for reports and archives, and notes pinned to exact spots. A point cloud for conservation, CAD or VR work is available on request.

Can the same record be used for VR, exhibitions or online visits?

Yes. One capture can feed VR experiences, audio guides, exhibition displays and online access for people who cannot travel to the site.

How is heritage work priced?

By proposal. Every site differs in size, access and rules, so we scope each project in a short call and send a written proposal with the outputs, timeline and price.

Can you train our staff?

Yes. We train museum and site teams to navigate, measure and annotate the model, export plans and images for reports, and plan repeat captures. Training can be added to any heritage proposal.
