Document condition
The model records the captured areas at a time of your choosing.
Cultural heritage preserve digitally
Document the condition of your monument in a photorealistic 3D model. FlyHigh captures roofs, facades and hard-to-reach outdoor areas from the air and provides data for archives, specialist planning and communication.
- BVLOS operating license according to PDRA/SORA - also for sensitive buildings
- Fully insured for every operation
Why is it worth it?
Record the inventory.Use the data.
Our 3D models document the building of today - and thus create a basis for the work of tomorrow.
Protect historical substance
We capture the roof and facade from the air without touching the historical substance.
Open data formats
We deliver results in common exchange formats (E57, LAS, OBJ, GLTF, IFC) - for HBIM, specialist software and archives.
Communicate cultural heritage
The models can be used for tours, AR/VR and interactive exhibitions.

What you get in the end
As a 3D model, a monument can fulfill many tasks. That's why before we collect it, we determine what you want to do with the data - and what results you need to achieve it.
-
Point cloud for specialist work
-
Photorealistic 3D model
The model shows the captured outdoor areas in their spatial form and with visible surfaces. It records the condition at the time of recording and can be used for documentation, specialist planning or mediation. We hand it over in the agreed formats, for example OBJ or glTF.

Project process
Get your 3D modelin four steps
-
01
Clarify goal and scope
What would you like to document? Should the model be incorporated primarily into the archive, into specialist planning or into communication? We coordinate with you the areas to be recorded, the level of detail and delivery.
-
02
Plan deployment
We check the location, plan the recordings and clarify the necessary approvals. We will coordinate with you about access, dates and conditions on the building.
-
03
Capture the building and create a model
We record the agreed areas. We use the data to create and check the 3D model as well as other agreed results.
-
04
Deliver results
You will receive the data in the agreed formats. At a joint appointment we will explain the delivery and discuss how you can continue working with it.
FAQ
Questions about cultural heritagedigitization
What is a digital twin of a monument?
A precise, photorealistic 3D model of your object - created from thousands of aerial images. It permanently documents the current state and serves as a basis for preservation, research, planning and communication.
How does digitalization work without scaffolding and without touch?
Completely aerial. The drone captures the roof, facade and details that are difficult to access without contact - without scaffolding, without risers, without contact with the fragile substance.
Photogrammetry or laser scanning – which is better for monuments?
Both have their place. Photogrammetry delivers photorealistic textures and precise geometry from images - ideal for documentation and communication. Laser scanning complements interiors and heavily shaded areas. We clarify in advance what your object needs – regardless of the manufacturer.
How accurate are the 3D models?
Accurate to the centimeter – georeferenced and verifiable. The level of detail required depends on the object and intended use; We define the benchmark together before the first flight.
Do we need permission for drone flights over a castle, church or monument?
No, we'll take care of that. FlyHigh flies with its own operating license (PDRA/SORA) - even in populated areas and sensitive zones, if desired beyond visual range (BVLOS). You will receive all documents for your records.
In what formats do we receive the results?
In open standard formats: E57, LAS, OBJ, GLTF and IFC - can be used directly in CAD, BIM and documentation systems for monument preservation. No isolated solutions, no dependencies.
How long does it take to digitize an object?
The flight itself usually only takes days - instead of months with scaffolding. Model creation follows depending on the level of detail; You will receive the schedule before the project starts.
Is there funding for the digitization of cultural heritage?
Yes, often. The digitization of cultural assets is a regular part of monument preservation funding programs at state, federal and EU levels. Which programs are suitable depends on the carrier and object.
