RAMB Sistem: 20 years of leadership in heritage preservation

RAMB Sistem, founded by the Bagiu family, is the oldest enterprise in the dynamic Bagiu group, which is involved in construction, infrastructure and technology projects. Specialising in the restoration of historic buildings, RAMB Sistem is proud to have participated actively in the rehabilitation of heritage properties in Brasov country, currently ranked one of the most attractive and well preserved regions in Romania.

Combining traditional restoration methods with state-of-the-art technologies, RAMB Sistem employs such cutting-edge techniques as carbon-fibre strengthening in its restoration projects in order to stay as true as possible to the original intentions of architects and builders of the past while also bringing the benefits of new technologies to these ancient constructions.  RAMB Sistem’s projects in the Brasov area from 2008 to 2014 include rebuilding Brasov’s medieval fortress and all the fortifications of the old city, refurbishing Rupea citadel and creating new paths and landscaping for the monument, and rebuilding Rasnov citadel and Fagaras citadel.

Romania’s first digital museum presented in New York

In 2012, RAMB Sistem was responsible for building Romania’s first digital museum, which is housed in four floors of a tower made of COR-TEN steel and glass set within the ancient fortress of Brasov. The project harmoniously combines innovative architecture, construction, technology and digital content in a unique way. This distinctive new architectural landmark was showcased at New York City’s Guggenheim Museum, where it was praised as an example of a revolutionary restoration of an historic property.

Gabriel Bagiu, owner, says, “It is a man’s duty towards the place where he lives to be involved in its growth and fulfilment. We are celebrating our twentieth anniversary at RAMB Sistem and in all these years there have been many times when I have agreed to go beyond the responsibilities of a builder to carry out important work even if this involved a loss of profits.”

Water, sewerage and road infrastructure

The group has also successfully diversified into infrastructure projects, and today Bagiu companies are involved in building modern water and sewerage systems as well as roads all over Romania. Welcoming new international connections, Gabriel Bagiu points out, “We have established international partnerships and, most importantly, a culture of international collaboration. We are constantly improving our skills by adopting new methods which allow us to remain competitive and to carry out local and national objects in a modern manner.”
