There are multiple methods available for documenting heritage buildings that have significant cultural importance in the society. However, selection of a particular method varies from one technique to another according to the requirements of documenting the heritage buildings. Generally, most organizations depend on financial supports to be able to begin their project in documenting particular buildings. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) systems are widely used for detailing 3-dimensioanl data captured from an object (i.e., historical buildings in particular). In this study, TLS system has been selected to carry out the surveying and architectural documentation process of the Hazzazi House as a case study. This research aims to provide the architects and professionals with a complete capture of architectural heritage sites via combined terrestrial laser scanner and traditional survey methodology to document the heritage houses in old Jeddah in order to overcome financial shortages while obtaining quality resolution at the same time. Specifically, the presented methodology assists in producing comprehensive architectural documentation of heritage houses in the area of historic Jeddah with the required quality and lower financial burden. This method may be applicable in similar cases in the Middle Eastern countries to set up conservation strategies of old heritage buildings across the region.

有多种方法可以用来记录在社会上具有重要文化意义的文物建筑。但是，根据记录文物建筑的要求，特定方法的选择因一种技术而异。通常，大多数组织依靠财务支持来开始其项目以记录特定建筑物。陆地激光扫描（TLS）系统被广泛用于详细描述从物体（特别是历史建筑物）捕获的3维数据。在本研究中，选择TLS系统来进行Hazzazi House的测量和建筑文档编制过程作为案例研究。这项研究旨在通过结合地面激光扫描仪和传统调查方法为建筑师和专业人士提供完整的建筑遗产地记录，以记录吉达老区的文物房屋，从而克服资金短缺的问题，同时获得质量解决方案。具体而言，所提出的方法有助于以所需的质量和较低的财务负担来提供吉达历史悠久地区的民居综合建筑文件。此方法可能适用于中东国家的类似情况，以建立整个地区的旧遗产建筑保护策略。
