Measure
Enter verified dimensions, quantities, openings, project type, and condition notes.
Construction estimating and takeoffs
Carry measurements from takeoff into scope, estimate, and proposal
Keep quantities, pricing assumptions, exclusions, revisions, and the proposal attached to the same contractor job record.
One preconstruction chain
Move from field measurements to a reviewable proposal
Ardaro keeps takeoff output, estimating inputs, scope, revisions, and the customer proposal attached to the same job.
Take off
Generate material lines, waste-aware quantities, labor guidance, and build-screen reminders for supported project types.
Price and scope
Review labor, material, other costs, markup, included work, exclusions, allowances, and schedule terms.
Revise and propose
Save commercial revisions and present the reviewed customer-facing scope and amount for approval.
Contractor review points
A takeoff is a starting record, not a sealed answer
Before ordering or promising a price, verify the actual site, supplier information, manufacturer requirements, labor assumptions, permits, and the authority having jurisdiction.
Quantity review
Check dimensions, count logic, waste, accessories, fasteners, transitions, and field conditions against the real project.
Commercial review
Confirm labor hours, rates, material prices, overhead, profit, allowances, risk, and revision status.
Scope review
Write included work, explicit exclusions, selections, payment terms, schedule assumptions, and change-control expectations.
Synthetic example
A deck estimate with traceable assumptions
This is an illustrative workflow, not a real bid or engineering guidance.
Synthetic example
A contractor enters verified deck dimensions and selected materials, reviews the generated board and hardware quantities, adjusts current supplier pricing and labor, records exclusions for concealed conditions and permitting, then saves a revised estimate before creating the proposal.
What Ardaro does — and what it does not
What it does
It connects supported measurements and takeoffs to reviewed cost, scope, revision, and proposal records.
What it does not do
It does not replace site verification, engineering, a stamped design, code review, supplier confirmation, manufacturer instructions, permitting, or the contractor's professional judgment.
