In many residential and business-residential buildings, the company ING-GRAD carried out work on the business buildings of some of the largest and most famous Croatian companies.
Different business entities require different types of facilities, so they vary from strictly business office facilities, shopping centres to industrial plants.
When building residential buildings, the company is guided by the principle that quality and satisfaction should be at the highest level.
During the construction of modern buildings, especially in the centres of large cities with a large concentration of other buildings near the place of construction of the new building, attention is first of all paid to the system of execution and protection of the construction pit. This system provides a safe foundation for the new building, as well as protection for other existing buildings in the vicinity.
After the construction, but also in parallel with the construction of the basic structure of the building, it starts with the execution of craftsman and installation works and finally the furnishing of the building. Craftsmanship works include plastering, making glazes, sub-laying works, electrical installations, plumbing and sewage installations, heating and ventilation, and fire protection.
When decorating the large hall in the building of the National University Library in Zagreb for the needs of Croatia's presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2020, work was carried out to strengthen the roof structure, sprinkler installation and ventilation installation, electrical installation and heating and cooling installation. The hall was also acoustic protection with sound-absorbing panels on the walls covered with decorative wooden panelling, and the ceiling is finished with hanging sound-absorbing lamellas.
The Lašćina Nursing Home in Zagreb is equipped with special furniture, equipment and aids necessary for the highest quality accommodation of the elderly and infirm, with special emphasis on the needs of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the home is equipped with the most modern kitchen and catering equipment and machines necessary for the preparation of food for users, professional devices for laundry and other equipment, which makes this home at the time of construction one of the best equipped nursing homes in Zagreb.
The final stage of the construction of each building is the arrangement of its environment, which includes the arrangement of access and internal roads, parking lots and other facilities, as well as landscaping. The external infrastructural elements related to the distribution of energy sources, as well as water supply, sewerage and telecommunications, thus fit into the new environment of the building in the best way.

Stores and shopping centers
The construction of the shopping and business lifestyle center Cascade in Tkalčićeva Street in Zagreb was carried out on a hilly terrain, and for that reason it was designed in a stepped, i.e. cascaded fashion. The center is spread over three terraces where the floors are connected by open passageways with a glass roof and slanted steel columns at the top, where a two-story walkway connects the Cascade center with the Kaptol center. On the ground floor and first floor, the complex rests on reinforced concrete structures in the form of massive diagonally placed columns, and below the ground floor there are two underground floors with garages.
The dynamic stepped shape of the complex on slanting columns is emphasized by three deep openings on the street part of the facade and four S-shaped arms on the courtyard part, and it is colorfully enriched by the use of reddish filtering bricks on the exterior parts of the building. Although very innovative and modern, this project relies on tradition and in its form imitates the gardens, vineyards and terraces characteristic of this part of the city in the past.
