Choose a 3d scanner for 2 story building preservation

I’m looking for a 3D scanner to create a detailed scan of a historical building for preservation purposes, one that can effectively capture both interior and exterior details. Although I have an iPhone with LiDAR capabilities, I’ve been unable to achieve the level of detail required for this project. Since this is a one-day undertaking, I’m hoping to find rental equipment that would cost less than $500 USD rather than purchasing something outright for this single-use scenario. I currently own a DJI Mavic Pro 1 drone and am curious if I could potentially create a DIY scanning solution using this equipment.

Then I can take all the data and re-create the building in reality capture and put the 3d model under MIT or another open license.

Please let me know if you require any additional information to provide recommendations that would suit my specific needs and constraints.
