What Ardaro is
Ardaro is a web platform for construction companies and skilled-trade contractors, connecting estimating and scheduling with field work, actual costs, customer progress, and closeout. Its estimating tools link measurements and takeoffs to labor, material allowances, scope, exclusions, revisions, and proposals. For job costing, it compares planned costs with receipt- and time-backed actuals, including variance, recovery, and job-level margin context.
Guided browser speech recognition turns field prompts into editable job and daily-work drafts. Users review and explicitly save them. Prompts cover completed work, measurements, materials, unexpected conditions, customer requests, access and scheduling issues, scope boundaries, and next steps. Ardaro says microphone audio may be sent to the browser’s speech provider, but Ardaro does not receive or store it; it receives editable text for in-memory analysis. A single-job customer portal shares approved records while keeping internal costs, suppliers, staff notes, and other jobs private. The Operations plan is $149/mo per workspace. Other listed plans cover cleaning, design and takeoff, field operations, and enterprise needs.
