Zimmerei Pawlowski: From Manual Measurements to a Digital Workflow

Introduction

“What used to take two to three hours now only takes about half an hour.”

That’s how Marcel, responsible for marketing and social media at Zimmerei Pawlowski, describes the change in their day-to-day work.
The company has been around for over 11 years, employs 23 people, and has completely restructured how they handle roof measurements.

Challenge

In the past, roof measurements were handled manually by managing director Rick Pawlowski.

He would drive to the site himself, take measurements using a laser tool, and then create drawings back at the office. From there, lengths and areas were calculated and transferred into quotes.

This process worked—but it was time-consuming.

Two things in particular caused the most effort:

First, driving to the site just to take measurements.
Second, the manual post-processing—calculating areas, checking dimensions, and preparing everything for the quote.

When multiple projects were running in parallel, this quickly became a bottleneck.
The measurement process tied up valuable time—especially for the managing director.

Solution

Today, the process at Zimmerei Pawlowski looks completely different—and more efficient.

Marcel flies the drone, captures the images, and uploads the data.
Rick Pawlowski then receives a ready-to-use 3D model and can extract all measurements and areas directly—without ever visiting the site.

The workflow is now much leaner.

What used to involve multiple steps and manual work is now handled in just a few clicks.

The biggest improvements are clear:

Time savings:
What used to take two to three hours per roof now takes around 30 minutes.

Accuracy:
Measurements are now more precise than before, which directly improves the quality of quotes.

Another key benefit is customer communication.
With the 3D model, Rick Pawlowski can visually explain projects—such as planned PV systems—making offers easier to understand and more convincing.

After just four months, the conclusion is clear:
The solution has already paid off—both in terms of time and cost.

“Just try it out”

Marcel’s advice to other businesses:
