Prologue
The bid is only as honest as the takeoff.
— and the takeoff is only as honest as the instrument.
For thirty years the estimate has lived in two places at once: on a scale ruler and in a spreadsheet. One counts. The other prices. Neither talks to the other, and the error lives in the gap between them.
Somewhere between the set and the send button, the assembly gets rolled up, the waste factor gets rounded, the vendor lead time gets guessed, and the bid goes out carrying a margin nobody can trace. You win the job and lose the profit. You lose the job and never learn why.
Cedrus is the instrument that closes the gap — measurement, pricing, assembly, and vendor in one document, honest at every row.
The Instrument
A takeoff that reads like a tender.
One document carries the scope, the assemblies, the vendors, and the price. Measured on the plans, priced the way a lead estimator would price it — without a spreadsheet disaster.
Every line item traces back to a measured region on the plans. No orphan numbers.
Vendor, lead time, and assembly margin are priced at the row — not rolled up out of sight.
Disciplines
Precision. Logistics. Network.
Three disciplines, one instrument. What a seasoned estimator does in their head, Cedrus does on the page — measured, priced, and routed.
Logistics
Assemblies that carry weight.
Price at the assembly, not the line item. Labor, material, waste, and sequencing are bundled the way a foreman actually calls for them on site.

From the field
We stopped losing the bid to the spreadsheet. The takeoff, the assemblies, the vendor lead times — it all reads like one document, because it is one document.

The Suite
Six tools. One instrument.
The six disciplines of a luxury-trade pre-construction bid — each a module, none a silo. They share the same project, the same assemblies, the same vendor bench.
