Not done much building recording, but helped on a few jobs.
Seems to me, depending on the type of remains a lot of time and money can be saved through using technology. For instance laser scattering, EDMs and rectified photography.
But the key seems to be an understanding of architecture and construction techniques.......not to mention documentary evidence.
Did a collapsed Bastle up in Northumberland with a combination of sketches, a classic archaeological photographic record, EDM surveying, digital rectified photography (for elevations and plans of rubble - digitised in post-ex), and aerial photographs.
