Middlesbrough Old Town Hall Repair & Renovation Project

29th April, '25

Case Study • 3D Laser Scanning & Revit/BIM Modelling

We’re thrilled to share our work on the Middlesbrough Old Town Hall & Clock Tower, a stunning Grade II listed building that holds a special place in the heart of the community. This project allowed us to engage with a piece of history and combine cutting-edge technology with our expertise to get the ball rolling with the impressive renovation plans.

Project Overview

The goal of the Middlesbrough Old Town Hall Repair & Renovation Project was to restore this iconic structure while ensuring it meets modern safety and functionality standards. Our team was excited to take on the challenge of surveying the building, including its remarkable clock tower, which brings a splash of culture and character to the town.

Survey Methodology:

To capture the intricate details of the Old Town Hall, we utilised a 3D laser scanning technique with the Trimble X7. This advanced technology allowed us to create a highly accurate point cloud model of the building, serving as a solid foundation for renovation plans.

01 • 3D Laser Scanning: Using the Trimble X7, we gathered detailed spatial information about the Old Town Hall, capturing everything from its beautiful architectural features to the specific elements of the clock tower.

02 • Revit/BIM Modelling: With the data from our laser scanning, we built a clear and concise Revit/BIM model. This model is essential for planning and visualisation, helping everyone involved understand the building and the renovation process better.

In-House Execution

We’re proud to say that all surveying and modelling were completed in-house, which allows us to maintain clear communication and ensure top-notch quality throughout the project. Our team followed Level of Development (LOD) 400 standard, highlighting the intricate details in the roof and internal areas of the building. This attention to detail is crucial for effective planning and execution.

Challenges and Solutions

Working on historic buildings like the Old Town Hall comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to preserving its unique character while updating it for modern use. Our experience with heritage buildings helped us navigate these challenges smoothly. By leveraging advanced technology and maintaining open communication with those involved from all sides, we made sure that every aspect of the renovation respected the building’s history and met our client’s needs.

The Middlesbrough Old Town Hall Repair & Renovation Project reflects our passion for enhancing historical preservation with modern technology and careful planning. We’re excited to see this important landmark come back to life and proud to play a role in its revitalisation. Our commitment to excellence ensures that this cherished building will continue to serve the community for years to come, blending its rich history with contemporary functionality.
