Trench for a medium-voltage cable line

About us

We build the networks that power distribution relies on

BIGBUD Sp. z o.o. is a Kraków-based contractor for medium- and low-voltage power network works. We work for distribution system operators, general contractors and renewable energy investors across Poland.

Who we are

A young company with a team experienced in the power sector

BIGBUD Sp. z o.o. has been operating since 2024. Our registered office is at ul. Rybitwy 22 lok. 318 in Kraków. The company is built around a well-coordinated team of professionals with many years of experience in the power industry — people who know network construction from the trench, through jointing, to acceptance.

From our very first contract we have focused on what can be verified: metres of line built, deadlines met and what clients say about us. Each of our five completed contracts is confirmed by a written reference, which we publish in full on the References page. All of them confirm that the works were carried out properly, on time and without defects.

Full registration details (KRS, NIP, REGON) are listed on the Company details page.

How we work

Three ways to work with us

We adapt to the structure of the contract. Our role depends on the client and the scope — in each of them we take responsibility for the quality and timing of our part.

General contractor

We take on the whole job: site preparation, earthworks and drilling, electrical installation, testing, as-built documentation and handover for operation.

Consortium leader

For larger tenders we team up with a partner. For ENEA Operator we led a consortium with TECHNO-BUD sp. z o.o. on a contract worth PLN 2,405,200 net — see the project.

Subcontractor

We deliver the entire electrical scope or selected works — cable lines, directional drilling, joints and cable junctions — for contractors such as ZILINSKIS and PIWOWARSKI.

Values

What our work is based on

Reliability

We say what we can do and by when — and we stick to it. We describe our projects using only the facts stated in our references.

Safety

Work near live networks leaves no room for shortcuts. We plan outages, work zones and protective measures together with the operator — more under Safety and quality.

Orderly paperwork

Network acceptance also means test reports, a geodetic as-built survey and as-built documentation. We prepare them alongside the works.

Respect for the land

Wherever possible we use directional drilling instead of open trenches, and after the works we restore the ground to its original condition.

Equipment

Our own machinery

We own our core machines, so our schedule never depends on what a hire company has available. Our fleet includes a CAT 302.7 mini excavator, a Caterpillar 432 backhoe loader, a GRUNDODRILL Tracto Technik 15 XPT directional drilling rig, a Tesmec ARS405 hydraulic puller for cable pulling and a Volvo FE 320 truck with an HMF 2120 loader crane for moving cable drums and materials.

The machines and what we use them for are described on the Equipment page.

Where we work

Office in Kraków, sites across Poland

So far we have worked in the Lubuskie, Greater Poland and Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeships. We move our equipment with our own transport, so distance from Kraków is not an obstacle.
