In the high-pressure world of EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction), precision and collaboration are critical. For Tuah Consult, a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy in Malaysia, working with major players in Oil & Gas and Energy, fragmented software tools were hindering project success. Different CAD platforms and file formats created barriers between teams, slowing down collaboration and risking costly delays.

But as their team grew and projects became more complex, something else grew too: fragmentation. Mechanical teams worked in one CAD platform, Structural in another, Electrical and Civil in others still. Each group was doing its best, but their tools were not. Drawings refused to align. File formats clashed. Collaboration slowed to a crawl.

Instead of focusing on design quality, engineers spent countless hours fixing compatibility issues, tracing broken references or repeating work that had been lost between software systems. Costs rose as more tools were added to keep projects moving.

A Turning Point: One Platform for Every Team

Everything began to change when Tuah explored ZWCAD MFG. What started as a tool evaluation quickly became a strategic decision to reunify their teams under a single environment.

With ZWCAD’s native DWG compatibility and consistent workflows, Mechanical, Structural, Electrical, Civil and QA/QC teams could finally work together without technical barriers. Drawings moved smoothly from one department to another. Versions stayed in sync. Reviews became faster and clearer.

For the first time, Tuah’s teams could work in parallel rather than waiting for files to be cleaned up or converted. This single shift instantly brought down the invisible walls between departments.

A Unified Workflow From Concept to QA/QC

As ZWCAD MFG became part of the company’s daily operations, it touched nearly every stage of Tuah’s workflow.

During the conceptual phase, engineers used it for layout sketches, P&ID diagrams and space planning.

In the detailed design phase, 3D models from AVEVA E3D and SmartPlant 3D transitioned into fabrication and layout drawings without disruption.

In the QA/QC stage, redlining, verification and documentation became smoother and far more consistent.

A unified tool meant a unified project rhythm, and suddenly the team’s focus shifted back to real engineering work.

Clarity, Consistency and New Momentum

What Tuah noticed next wasn’t just faster drawings. It was better communication and dramatically fewer setbacks.

● Inter-department rework dropped.

● Data accuracy improved.

● Engineers no longer spent hours repairing files or retracing lost work.

● They could finally concentrate on design quality and innovation.

The impact was significant:

● Project delivery times improved by 50%

● CAD software costs fell by more than 60%

● Documentation accuracy increased

● Collaboration became smoother across all departments

A Future Built on Alignment and Confidence

Today, Tuah Consult sees ZWCAD MFG not as just another CAD solution but as the foundation of their engineering ecosystem. It helps the company coordinate complex projects, respond faster to clients and maintain the high standards expected in EPC environments.

By removing the barriers that once slowed them down, ZWCAD MFG has helped Tuah operate with greater clarity, consistency and confidence. And as the company continues to grow, having a platform that unifies every team will remain one of its strongest advantages.
