Receive the sheet
A live takeoff sheet, per trade: counts, sizes, locations — each cell carrying its source in the drawings.
The honest comparison
Manual takeoff
- Days per tender, under deadline pressure
- Highlighters, scale rulers, spreadsheets
- One misread sheet = a wrong bid
- No trail — "where did this number come from?"
Generic software
- You still do the measuring — it just holds the pen
- Weeks of learning a CAD-like tool
- Per-seat licenses for occasional bids
- Garbage in, garbage out — no honesty layer
CAIRO
- Hours, not days — send it and keep working
- Every number traced to a page and line
- Gaps declared, never papered over
- You confirm scope; the sheet stays auditable
Every cell knows where it came from.
Click any number in the sheet and see the exact drawing, page, and schedule row behind it. And when the document doesn't contain a dimension — the cell says so, in gold, instead of inventing one.
