Abstract
The information management of historical buildings through BIM methodologies presupposes not only the collection of data and information relating to geometric shape and technical parameters of the component elements, but more generally the identification of those semantic values, which make it part of the historical-cultural heritage shared in a specific context. It is therefore essential that the modelling purposes and information exchange requirements are explicitly defined in relation to the specific BIM Uses required. This contribution proposes a process of geometric validation of information models of buildings of high morphological complexity implemented through Scan-to-BIM procedures. Through a controlled and interoperable workflow, a chain of software applications is stated to define the level of geometric accuracy (LOA) of the information model with respect to the numerical model derived from the point cloud. Two case studies related to H-BIM modelling of historical monumental complexes dating back to the Romanesque period in Sardinia (Italy) are illustrated: the churches of Sant’Efisio in Nora (Cagliari) and Santa Maria del Regno (Sassari). In the discussion of the results, the need for a prior definition of modelling strategies in relation to the expected BIM uses is highlighted.

Acknowledgments
All the digital surveys of the Romanesque churches in Sardinia come from the project “The Romanesque and the territory.” Construction materials of the “Sardegna Giudicale”: new approaches for the valorisation, protection and restoration”, held in the period 2013–2017. The Research team: Unit A, S. Columbu, G. Verdiani, M. Marchi, M. Palomba, F. Sitzia; Unit B, R. Martorelli, L. Tanzini, F. Pinna, A. Virdis. The digital survey campaign was made in collaboration with Alessandro Peruzzi, Area3D SRL, Livorno and L. Albergoni.
The implementation of the HBIM models of the presented case studies has been carried out within the activities of the course “Disegno e Modellazione Parametrica dell’Architettura”, Master’s Degree Course in Construction Engineering of the University of Florence, held by Prof. Carlo Biagini in the A.Y. 2018–2019 in a working group consisting of A. Bongini and P. Ottobri.
