Innovation + heritage = the way to survive

We are confident that our era is the best time to take care of the architectural heritage. And all thanks to innovative technologies that can be used in the restoration and use of ancient castles, palaces and fortresses. State-of-the-art construction and restoration work, timely monitoring of dilapidation, optimization of heating and water costs, and the use of sustainable materials - all of this must be used in the field of architectural heritage. Therefore, we work closely with scientific groups, research institutes that are engaged in innovation. We also work with manufacturing companies and are happy to present their new products to the owners of historic buildings.
