Conventional documentation techniques currently store the majority of the conservation documentation data. Such practices may lead to inefficiencies and difficulties in accessing and managing the data, hindering the progress of conservation efforts. Organizations need to consider transitioning to digital platforms for better efficiency and accessibility. The situation raises the question of how to create digital documentation in a way that maintains stringent data protection, safety protocols, and governance frameworks within the documentation system. Rapid technological advancement has led to the use of digital data documentation in Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) for complete conservation projects. This digital documentation allows for detailed analysis and monitoring of the building’s condition over time, aiding in the preservation efforts. Additionally, HBIM enables easy access to historical data and information, making it a valuable tool for researchers and conservators. This study aims to offer digital recording and archiving services for Negeri Sembilan’s heritage buildings, which will benefit future conservation projects. The objectives of this paper are to measure the heritage building and to create 2D and 3D models as digital documentation. The following qualitative research approaches were used to accomplish the defined research objectives: (i) on-site observation and (ii) 3D simulation. Hence, this study produces 2D and 3D data documentation in digital ways to emphasize green technology and sustainability in documentation, which contributes to SDG 11. As a result, by combining on-site observation with 3D simulation, this paper demonstrates comprehensive digital models that can be used for various conservation projects in the future. The Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) contribution will improve the long-term preservation of heritage structures for rehabilitation and refurbishment projects and produce correct digital representation techniques.
