ARDARO
Software for deck contractors

Move deck projects from layout to documented closeout

Review layout and material quantities, price the job, record clear boundaries, then connect field execution and actual costs to the same project.

Deck contractor workflow

Connect layout decisions, material takeoff, price, and field execution

Ardaro supports deck and outdoor-structure planning with job-linked layout inputs, material systems, takeoff, commercial review, and field records. The photo-real deck and stair builders draw the deck on a real lawn in daylight so the customer sees the finished work before the first board is cut.

Layout

Model the working concept

Record length, width, height, shape, house side, stairs, railing, decking and fascia choices, spacing inputs, and project notes.

Takeoff

Review the build list

Develop board, framing, fastener, hardware, stair, railing, and waste-aware material quantities for contractor review.

Job

Carry it past the estimate

Save the takeoff to the job, review labor and supplier pricing, build scope and exclusions, then follow field notes, receipts, time, and closeout.

Deck-specific checks

Keep design guidance inside a clear safety boundary

Real deck construction requires site verification and review of loads, spans, connections, footings, guards, stairs, ledger conditions, utilities, frost depth, permits, and local requirements.

Existing conditions

Verify attachment surface, rim and flashing condition, grade, drainage, utilities, access, and demolition scope.

Structure and envelope

Confirm footing, post, beam, joist, ledger, lateral-load, flashing, fastener, and corrosion requirements with the appropriate sources.

Finish and closeout

Track decking pattern, gaps, picture frame, fascia, stairs, rails, gates, punch work, care notes, and customer sign-off.

What Ardaro does — and what it does not

What it does

It provides deck layout and takeoff guidance, job-linked estimates, scope records, field execution, actual costs, and closeout workflows.

What it does not do

It is not engineering, a stamped plan, a structural analysis, a permit, a code-compliance guarantee, or a substitute for site and authority review.
