Construction is an activity that has left a lasting legacy to humanity that we have the opportunity to admire again and again.
Inspired by this very fact, ING-GRAD was founded as a construction company whose activities include specialized works comprised of: restoration and reconstruction of monumental heritage of exceptional historical and artistic significance.
In more than 35 years of work on the restoration and reconstruction of the monumental heritage, we have been using all the advantages of modern construction methods, but also applying unique knowledge based on the techniques, skills and recipes of old crafts.
Most buildings of cultural or architectural heritage are brick buildings built of stone or brick wall elements connected with mortar, usually found in poor condition due to their age and inadequate maintenance. Therefore, before the renovation and final arrangement, it is necessary to carry out constructive restoration. The complexity of the historical buildings restoration requires the incompatibility of traditional and new materials and respect for their original existence, which is why the use of reinforced concrete is not recommended. The most favourable technique for repairing and strengthening such constructions has proved to be injection, i.e., stabilizing and closing cracks in damaged walls by injecting special injection compounds, applying reinforced cement or epoxy coatings on one or both sides of the wall, and pre-tensioning the walls.
Roofs of monumental heritage buildings are usually wooden roofs with different types of covering, depending on the tradition of the climate in which the building is located. The reconstruction of such wooden roofs implies the replacement of individual elements or the complete structure with new wood, most often made of Slavonian oak or conifer, and the replacement of the covers.
The renovation and reconstruction of the building includes the renovation of the external facade, the execution of profiles and stone plastic, the production of wooden joinery and everything that includes the restoration of the historical appearance and original condition. It is done according to conservation guidelines, which is why the restoration and reconstruction of the building is longer and requires specific materials, works and methods of execution.

Castels, Palaces and Fortresses
Erdödy Castle, located in the central park of the town of Jastrebarsko, is the oldest preserved cultural monument in Jastrebarsko. It was built by Ban Matija Gereb between 1483 and 1489. From the beginning of the 16th century until 1922, the castle was owned by the Erdödy noble family, after which it was named.
Erdödy Castle, which is an individually protected cultural heritage, has been falling into disrepair for many years and was found in a rather poor condition. Significant construction interventions were needed to make the castle safe for use, and some of the works are: deep foundation using the jet grouting method, demolition and re-construction of worn-out parts of the structure, strengthening of individual structural elements with the FRCM system, stitching and grouting of cracks and worn-out walls, replacement and repair of wooden elements of roofs and mezzanine structures and others.
Ultimately, the castle, renovated according to strict conservation guidelines, will be accessible to citizens through public content, while the castle's atrium will be arranged as a space for cultural events for citizens and guests of the city.
