The Challenge
A mid-sized construction enterprise specialising in residential and commercial building projects managed 12 active construction sites simultaneously, with contracts totalling 120,000,000 PLN in progress. The organisation employed 180 staff and generated annual revenue of 45,000,000 PLN.
Regulatory Volatility: The construction sector in Poland is subject to frequent regulatory changes: Technical Conditions (WT) updates every 1-2 years, environmental regulations (emissions, waste, water), occupational health and safety standards, energy certification requirements, and public procurement law amendments.
Contract Risk: Each regulatory change could impact project costs (new requirements = higher costs), delivery timelines (additional certifications needed), contractual liability (penalties for delays), and project feasibility (new requirements may block projects).
Supply Chain Disruption: Regulatory changes affect suppliers through new material requirements, certification changes, material availability risks (market withdrawal), and increased material costs (new production requirements).
The Intelligence Solution
The CEO implemented Lextron after narrowly avoiding a penalty for violating new environmental regulations. Deployment required 3 weeks and included:
- Industry Profile: Construction, real estate
- Jurisdictions: Poland, EU (for imported materials)
- Regulations: Technical Conditions, environmental regulations, occupational health and safety, public procurement
- Alert Configuration: Critical → immediate, important → daily, others → weekly
- Project Monitoring: Change tracking for 12 active projects
The system provided predictive monitoring of legislative drafts with 2-month lead time, enabling proactive planning and cost optimisation.

- Improvement: 85-95% faster change detection
Concrete Value Examples
Example 1: Avoiding 2-Million Penalty
Situation: In the third week of deployment, Lextron detected a new regulation regarding dust emission limits during construction, effective in 2 months.
Without Lextron: The organisation would have discovered this during inspection, resulting in: penalty for violation (2,000,000 PLN, 2% of contract value), construction suspension for 2 weeks, adjustment costs (300,000 PLN), delay penalties (500,000 PLN). Total cost: 2,800,000 PLN
With Lextron: Detection 2 months in advance enabled planning before effective date, equipment purchase at better prices (advance negotiations), implementation without suspension. Savings: 2,550,000 PLN
Example 2: Protecting 15M PLN Contract
Situation: Lextron detected a change in Technical Conditions regarding insulation requirements for commercial buildings, effective during project execution.
Without Lextron: Discovery during handover would require insulation replacement in 3 buildings (800,000 PLN), 1-month delay (300,000 PLN penalty), legal dispute risk.
With Lextron: Detection 4 months in advance enabled client renegotiation (force majeure clause), material purchase planning (better prices), implementation without delays. Savings: 500,000 PLN + avoided dispute
Example 3: Supply Chain Optimization
Situation: Lextron detected a change in insulation material certification that could affect availability from the primary supplier.
Value: Supplier certification verification, alternative supplier identification in advance, reserve agreements, avoided supply interruptions. Estimated value: 400,000 PLN in avoided penalties + lost revenue.
Example 4: New Contract Opportunity Identification
Situation: Lextron identified a change in public procurement regulations that opened the possibility of participation in larger tenders for mid-sized firms.
Value: Preparation for new tenders, successful bid on 8,000,000 PLN contract, tender won due to advance preparation. This contract would not have been available without prior knowledge of regulatory change.
"Lextron helped us avoid a 2-million penalty for violating new environmental regulations. It was the best compliance investment we ever made. We not only protect ourselves from risk but also identify new opportunities."
