PLATFORM
Every tool you need to estimate, build, and recruit.
Estimation, field operations, workforce, talent, and price intelligence — all in one self-hosted platform. Built for estimators, project managers, and site engineers who need real numbers and full sovereignty over their data.
CORE FEATURES
The five systems that run your estimate.
01
BOQ Editor
A structured bill of quantities editor built for estimators. Create, import, and manage line items with full trade classification, unit rates, and cost roll-ups.
02
Cost Database
CWICR: 55,000+ verified cost positions across eleven regional markets. Every unit rate is source-tagged, dated, and searchable by trade, region, or keyword.
03
AI Takeoff
Upload plans and drawings. The AI extracts quantities, maps them to cost positions, and produces a priced BOQ. Runs on your server -- no data leaves your infrastructure.
04
Scheduling
Link your BOQ to a project timeline. Tasks, milestones, dependencies, and crew assignments -- all tied back to estimated costs.
05
Multi-CAD Support
Drop a DWG, DXF, IFC, or RVT file. ZRO maps geometry to cost positions, surfaces quantities by trade, and flags missing data for a full round-trip into your estimate.
DIFFERENTIATORS
What sets ZRO apart.
SOVEREIGN AI
Local AI, no foreign dependencies
Every AI feature runs on your own server. No prompts, no context, no project data sent to third-party labs. One sovereign multimodal model — fully self-hosted.
SATELLITE INTELLIGENCE
Copernicus Sentinel-2 site analysis
Pull historical and recent satellite imagery for any site. Check access, existing structures, vegetation, water, and terrain before you mobilize.
PHOTO-TO-ESTIMATE
Camera to priced line items
Point a camera at a wall, floor, or site. The local AI vision model returns quantities, materials, and a priced line-item list.
EXECUTIVE COPILOT
Four modes, zero cloud dependency
Daily brief, cost-risk review, estimate review, and project executive. Runs locally against your data. No tokens billed, no prompts leaving the building.
FIELD OPS
Site office in your browser
Field reports tied to photos, BOQ linked to live costs, schedule synced with crew, costs tracked against estimate. One place for everything the site actually runs on.
DOCUMENT INTELLIGENCE
OCR plus structured extraction
AI-powered document pipeline ingests specifications, invoices, tender documents, and drawings. Extracts structured rates, line items, and metadata straight into your project.
SWISS DATA RESIDENCY
CH/EU data centers, no US replication
All data stored in Swiss or EU data centers by default. Self-host on your own hardware for full air-gapped sovereignty. GDPR and nFADP compliant.
WORKFORCE
Staff management and payroll
Manage your site workers, track time per project, auto-calculate wages, and export payroll — all connected to your estimate and daily field reports.
TALENT POOL
Recruit the best available teams
Browse verified workers and teams across the platform. Filter by trade, availability, rating, and references. See who is free, check their reputation, and send a hire request directly.
PRICE INTELLIGENCE
Live material prices from your suppliers
Connect your local suppliers and track real market prices per material. Get instant cheapest-source comparison when filling an estimate — no guessing on current rates.
ESTIMATE TEMPLATES
Reuse your best work, instantly
Save any estimate as a template. Start new jobs pre-filled with your own proven structure, line items, and scope. Duplicate any estimate in one click.
EMBODIED CARBON
Track carbon footprint, item by item
Log CO₂e per BOQ line item, grouped by material category. Get project-level carbon totals, benchmark against EU construction averages, and export a full carbon report — built-in, not a plugin.
