For architecture firms
Give your client a number that survives the tender.
Your client asks "what will it cost?" while the set is still yours. CAIRO turns your own drawings into defensible quantities — at design stage, and again when you run the tender on the owner’s behalf.
Design-stage quantities from your own set
Run the takeoff on each issue of the drawings. See how design decisions move the quantities before the client asks.
Level the bids on real numbers
When tenders come back, compare them against an independent quantity baseline — not against each other.
An audit trail your client can question
Every count cites its sheet and schedule row. Professional-liability-friendly: nothing is asserted without a source.
The audit trail
Built for people who drew the lines
CAIRO reads the vector geometry of your CAD-issued PDFs — the same lines you drew. Nothing is inferred from pixels or guesswork.
