You should conduct these scans a couple of time, over a couple of months to see if they are static or moving more out of line. The scans will any subsidence.

If you want to keep the brick wall or the ornate detail, you again need the result of these 3D laser scans.  Then you can restore the building like it was before. Because you will have the original scan results with you, you can build the building exactly like it was.
