Budimex Honored as Most Construction-Friendly General Contractor
Budimex SA has once again solidified its reputation as a leader in the Polish construction industry by being awarded the prestigious title of “General Contractor Friendly to Construction Companies” during the 21st edition of the Construction Brand of the Year 2025 ranking. This recognition, granted by ASM Research Solutions Strategy, reflects the overwhelmingly positive assessments from decision-makers across the construction sector—especially contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers working directly with general contractors in Poland.
The Construction Brand of the Year ranking, one of the most influential benchmarks in the Polish construction industry, evaluates companies not only on brand awareness and market presence but also on qualitative aspects such as cooperation, reliability, transparency, and financial policy. This makes Budimex’s repeat recognition particularly noteworthy, as it speaks to the consistency of their performance and the strength of their relationships within the contractor network.
The Methodology Behind the Recognition
The awarding process is based on comprehensive market research conducted by ASM Research Solutions Strategy, an independent and respected research agency specializing in the construction industry. For the 2025 edition, several thousand interviews were carried out using the CATI method (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing). These interviews were conducted with professionals working in various roles within the construction sector, focusing primarily on contractors who have real-world, day-to-day experience interacting with general contractors on construction projects.
Participants were asked to evaluate their cooperation with general contractors across several criteria, including:
- Quality of communication and project coordination
- Adherence to safety standards
- Transparency and fairness in financial settlements
- Payment timeliness and conditions
- Technical support and responsiveness
- Overall satisfaction and willingness to recommend
This method ensures that the ranking is objective, reliable, and free from commercial bias, as companies are not nominated by a jury or industry panel. Instead, the ranking reflects spontaneous, experience-based recommendations made by thousands of professionals directly involved in construction projects.
Budimex’s recognition as a general contractor that fosters supportive and productive relationships with subcontractors and suppliers demonstrates a consistent performance across these indicators.
Industry Testimony and Leadership Commentary
Artur Popko, President of the Management Board of Budimex SA, emphasized the strategic value of the award, noting its relevance not only for subcontractors but also for investors and project owners:
“Receiving the title of General Contractor Friendly to Construction Companies is proof that Budimex, as a general contractor, not only effectively implements investments, but also builds lasting and partner relations with subcontractors and suppliers. The award is also an important signal for investors, confirming Budimex’s reputation as a reliable and professional partner in the implementation of construction projects.”
This recognition highlights Budimex’s commitment to long-term, trust-based relationships—something that goes beyond the delivery of projects on time and within budget. It reinforces the idea that true success in the construction industry is deeply rooted in collaboration, respect, and accountability across the entire supply chain.
Tomasz Zwarzany, Sales Director at Amiblu Poland—one of Budimex’s partners—also praised the company’s operational excellence and professional approach:
“Cooperation with Budimex is a guarantee of efficient projects and partner communication. Professionalism and transparency at every stage mean that as a supplier, we can act confidently, on time, and with a sense of real impact. Congratulations on the award—fully deserved.”
A System That Supports Subcontractors
Budimex’s leadership has not only focused on winning contracts and delivering large-scale infrastructure and commercial projects but also on building an ecosystem in which subcontractors and local businesses can thrive.
A key example is bxPartner, Budimex’s proprietary digital platform designed specifically to manage interactions and transactions with subcontractors. This platform allows for fast, transparent, and flexible settlement of payments. In recent years, Budimex has adopted a strategy of dividing financial settlements into smaller, more frequent payments. This has significantly reduced the financial strain on smaller contractors and helped improve liquidity in the subcontractor ecosystem.
Such innovations are particularly critical in a time of global economic uncertainty, where financial pressure on small and mid-sized construction firms can threaten the stability of the entire project delivery system. Budimex’s efforts to reduce that pressure and create a fair and efficient payment environment have not gone unnoticed.
The bxPartner platform enables subcontractors to:
- Track project progress and payment schedules
- Submit invoices and documentation digitally
- Receive frequent payments based on completed work
- Communicate more efficiently with Budimex’s project managers
These advancements reinforce Budimex’s image as a forward-thinking and technology-enabled general contractor—one that understands the value of digital transformation in improving trust and efficiency.
Over Two Decades of Trusted Recognition
The Construction Brand of the Year ranking has been a fixture of the Polish construction industry for over 20 years. What distinguishes it from other rankings is its independence and empirical foundation. No company can “buy” a place in the ranking. Instead, companies earn their position based on the trust and satisfaction of those who work with them daily.
ASM Research Solutions Strategy gathers input from a wide network of professionals who interact with construction brands, materials, and services regularly. Because the survey is unprompted, meaning there is no pre-selected list to choose from, only brands that stand out in the minds of contractors and stakeholders are mentioned—making it one of the most authentic evaluations in the sector.
By winning the title of “General Contractor Friendly to Construction Companies” multiple times, Budimex has proven that its reputation is not a result of temporary performance, but of sustained operational excellence, long-term relationship building, and continual adaptation to the evolving needs of the construction market.
