The cadwork group develops and sells software for the construction industry. Our global team consists of around 200 specialists.

Our history

In 1980, the CSEM, a research department of the watch industry in Neuchâtel (CH), started the development of the CAD system cadwork together with the EPF Lausanne (CH). In 1987, cadwork was adapted to timber construction as part of a CTI research project led by Andreas Walther at the Chair of Timber Construction at the EPF Lausanne (CH). After completing this research project, Andreas Walther founded cadwork informatik AG in 1990 with headquarters in Basel (CH) and a development centre in Lausanne (CH).

With the foundation of cadwork informatik GbR in Hildesheim (D) in 1992 and the transformation of this company into cadwork informatik Software GmbH in 1993, a second development centre was created, which today is responsible for all areas of timber construction.

Since 1990, a total of 20 branch offices and sales subsidiaries have been established in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Poland, the Czech Republic and Canada.

Through practical experience and intensive cooperation with its customers as well as research institutions, cadwork has developed into the competent CAD solution in the construction industry.

In 2005 the development of the 3D software lexocad started as an experiment of the company cadwork. At that time, 3D software was still unthinkable in the construction industry.

The slogan "simply simple" is and remains an important guiding principle of lexocad to this day. In the meantime, lexocad has become an important part of cadwork and it is impossible to imagine the creation of various construction projects without it.
