International Journal of BIM and Engineering Science IJBES 2571-1075 10.54216/IJBES https://www.americaspg.com/journals/show/3744 2021 2021 Master student in Building Information Modeling and Management, Syrian Virtual University, Syria; Master student in restoration and rehabitation historical building, Damascus University, Syria Rasha Rasha Director of the Master's Program in Building Information Modeling and Management, SyrianVirtual University Sonia Ahmad Lecturer in the Master's Program in Building Information Modeling and Management at the Syrian Virtual University, Damascus, Syria Khaled Alfahed Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) has emerged as a critical methodology for preserving cultural heritage by documenting the condition of building materials, assessing the extent and causes of damage, and managing restoration and maintenance activities. By integrating advanced technologies such as thematic mapping and 3D modeling, HBIM offers a comprehensive approach to analyzing and conserving historic structures. This research highlights the significance of HBIM in preserving the integrity and sustainability of heritage buildings, emphasizing its role in maintaining their historical and cultural value. The study focuses on the Omar al-Khiam Hotel in Damascus, an iconic historic building requiring urgent restoration. A detailed photographic survey was conducted using a mobile camera, with images processed through AGISOFT METASHAPE and enhanced using Photoshop. These data were used to create a precise 3D model in EDIFICIUS HBIM software, incorporating detailed assessments of material conditions, including corrosion, damage, leakage, and environmental pollution. Based on this analysis, a restoration and maintenance schedule was developed to guide the rehabilitation process and ensure effective project management. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of HBIM in providing a dynamic and collaborative platform for heritage conservation. The study underscores the need for integrating diverse data sources and engaging stakeholders in restoration efforts. While HBIM offers significant advantages, challenges such as data precision and software complexity were identified. Future research should focus on enhancing HBIM’s predictive capabilities for long-term material degradation and exploring its application across diverse heritage sites to refine conservation strategies further. 2025 2025 01 12 10.54216/IJBES.110101 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/3744
