About us
BUI; our Engineering Consultants Office is a spin-off of the Institute of Building Materials Research (ibac) of RWTH Aachen University. We advise you in all issues related to building materials research in a competent way. Our company was founded by Univ. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Brameshuber and Dr.-Ing. Stephan Uebachs in 2008.
Due to our long-time experience in international building projects and our cooperation with international industry partners in numerous research projects in the construction sector as well as our close cooperation with the ibac, we are always state-of-the-art and use our practical knowledge for the development of customised concepts for our clients.
We gladly place our know-how at your disposal at any time.
