Madro’s Road to Efficiency

How ZWCAD Became a Cornerstone in Modern Road Construction

Paving the Way for Smarter Construction

For over 15 years, Madro sp. z o.o., a Poland-based road construction firm, has been a trusted name in infrastructure. Specializing in roads, car parks, pavements, playgrounds, and urban green spaces, Madro combines deep technical expertise with a drive for innovation. Their reputation is built on reliable execution, cost-optimized strategies, and seamless collaboration with specialists across disciplines.

But as their projects expanded in scale and complexity, they faced a growing challenge: their existing CAD tools couldn’t keep up.

When Software Becomes a Roadblock

Madro’s team found themselves grappling with issues that many in the construction sector will recognize:

    ● Rising subscription fees year after year

    ● Laggy performance when opening large, multi-discipline files

    ● Limited file compatibility

    ● Clunky user interfaces that slowed down work

“We were dealing with slow performance on large files and escalating subscription fees,” the team shared. “Plus, we needed better compatibility and a more intuitive user experience.”

Discovering the Right Path: Enter ZWCAD

Their search for a better solution led them to ZWCAD, a CAD platform known for its DWG compatibility, intuitive interface, and affordable licensing. However, what started as a practical choice quickly proved to be a powerful game changer.

ZWCAD offered Madro the tools they needed to streamline every stage of their construction process—from initial tenders to final handover.

From Bids to Blueprints: A Seamless Workflow

ZWCAD became an essential part of Madro’s workflow:

    ●  During tender preparation, they verified quantities directly from situation plans to ensure their bids were accurate and competitive.

    ●  At project launch, they used precise measurements to order the exact quantities of materials needed, eliminating waste.

    ●  Throughout execution, ZWCAD helped them check distances and avoid costly errors, especially in areas where design drawings lacked precise dimensions.

They even used ZWCAD to visually track work progress and attach status drawings to sales reports—a process that became faster and more transparent.

Precision in Practice: Real Results from the Field

A standout example of ZWCAD in action occurred during a complex landscaping project that involved multiple paving types, including grey and graphite concrete blocks, stone, and gravel. Using ZWCAD’s quick selection tools and line sum command, Madro’s team calculated exact material quantities in just a few clicks.

“I select all elements by type and layer, move them to a blank area, and with one command, I know exactly how many meters I need,” explained one of their engineers.

Even when original design files weren't editable, ZWCAD didn’t miss a beat. The team could import scaled PDFs, snap to lines and points, and continue working with complete accuracy. “That flexibility is a huge advantage,” they noted.

Built for the People Who Build

ZWCAD quickly became a favorite among the engineers and construction leads at Madro. Tasks like drawing, copying, scaling, and referencing became smoother and more intuitive. Features such as Revcloud, quick dimensioning, reference lines, and layer management provided users with better control and faster results.

“The software is easy to learn and powerful to use,” said the team. “And whenever we need help, the technical support team responds quickly and professionally.”

The Human Touch: A Partner in Every Step

Madro’s positive experience wasn’t just about the product—it was also about the people. Their trusted ZWCAD partner, Usługi Informatyczne SZANSA Sp. z o.o. ensured the correct version of the software was matched to Madro’s needs.

Special thanks go to Ms. Agnieszka Jurek-Chomaziuk, who provided hands-on support during the purchasing and implementation process. “Everything was clear, professional, and smooth. We really felt looked after.”

Driving into the Future with Confidence

With ZWCAD firmly integrated into their workflows, Madro is ready for whatever comes next. Whether it’s scaling up for bigger projects or fine-tuning everyday processes, the company now has a reliable, high-performance CAD tool it can count on.

Their road ahead is clear, and ZWCAD is right there with them, every step of the way.
