Ardaro
What it is
Ardaro is a web platform for construction companies and skilled-trade contractors, connecting estimating and scheduling with field work, job costs, customer progress, and closeout. It supports both project-based and service-based operations. In estimating, measurements and takeoffs connect to labor, material allowances, scope, exclusions, revisions, and proposals. For job costing, Ardaro compares planned costs with receipt- and time-backed actuals, tracking variance, recovery, and job-level margin context.
For field updates, guided browser speech recognition prepares editable job and daily-work drafts from prompts about completed work, measurements, materials, unexpected conditions, customer requests, access, scope boundaries, and next steps. Users review drafts and explicitly save them. Ardaro says the browser may send microphone audio to its speech provider; Ardaro does not receive or store that audio, and instead receives editable text for in-memory analysis. A single-job customer portal shares approved customer-facing records while keeping internal costs, suppliers, staff notes, and other jobs private. Operations is $149 a month per workspace; other plans cover cleaning, design and takeoff, broader operations, and enterprise needs.
