ABSTRACT: 
In addition to the repair construction project following the repair principles contemplated by heritage experts, the construction 
process should be recorded and measured at any time for monitoring to ensure the quality of repair. The conventional construction 
record methods mostly depend on the localized shooting of 2D digital images coupled with text and table for illustration to achieve 
the purpose of monitoring. Such methods cannot fully and comprehensively record the 3D spatial relationships in the real world. 
Therefore, the construction records of traditional buildings are very important but cannot function due to technical limitations. This 
study applied the 3D laser scanning technology to establish a 3D point cloud model for the repair construction of historical 
buildings. It also broke down the detailed components of the 3D point cloud model by using the concept of the historic building 
information modeling, and established the 3D models of various components and their attribute data in the 3DGIS platform database. 
In the construction process, according to the time of completion of each stage as developed on the construction project, this study 
conducted the 3D laser scanning and database establishment for each stage, also applied 3DGIS spatial information and attribute 
information comparison and analysis to propose the analysis of differences in completion of various stages for improving the 
traditional building repair construction quality. This method helps to improve the quality of repair construction work of tangible 
cultural assets of the world. The established 3DGIS platform can be used as a power tool for subsequent management and 
maintenance.
