How AI is used

Dindo is a cloud-based software designed for construction estimating and takeoff. It integrates the measurement process with the estimating workflow, allowing users to perform on-screen takeoffs that update totals in real time.

The tool is built for residential and commercial builders, subcontractors, and quantity surveyors. It supports a collaborative environment where multiple team members or external partners can work on the same job or dimension sheet at once.

The platform helps with generating branded quotes and reports, tracking changes with an approval system, and managing supplier comparisons via an optional add-on. It also connects with accounting software to help maintain data consistency.

Buyers should confirm whether they require the basic estimating tools or the additional cost of the Dindo Compare add-on for tender management and supplier quote leveling.
