The Structural Documentation System for Buildings supports the development of scientific knowledge bases for monuments and listed buildings with emphasis on the structural aspect and offers automatic connection with cartographic documentation and computer-aided design systems. The Structural Documentation System for Buildings supports:

• the detailed description and the systematic recording of basic and detailed characteristics of monuments and listed buildings,
• the classification of historical, structural, typological and morphological data and the documentation of alterations,
• the complete and systematic documentation of morphological and structural characteristics (history, typology, morphology, structural typology, material, construction pathology) of listed buildings as described in historical, archaeological, conservation and restoration studies.

In addition, the system provides to the user views for comparing, validating and controlling alterations, and offers automatic connection with cartographic documentation and computer-aided design systems, as well as administrative documentation systems.

The system was developed as part of the project MAESTOR - Structural documentation system for monuments and listed buildings of Crete
