What is Monaro?
Automated takeoffs from construction drawings for HVAC and mechanical distributors' quotes.
Who is Monaro best for?
Monaro is best for HVAC distributors whose bid desks count equipment from drawing sets by hand before quoting.
HVAC distributor bid desks
It reads a mechanical drawing set, pulls the equipment schedule and counts diffusers, grilles, fans and fixtures on every floor, ready for quoting.
Teams quoting from spreadsheets
Supplier RFQs, quote formatting and submittals sit next to the takeoff, so coordinators stop re-keying counts from PDFs into Excel and email.
Bid desks adding coordinators
Every plan has unlimited users and is priced by projects, so bringing more people onto the bid desk does not change the bill.
Distributors quoting terminal equipment
It counts equipment only, such as diffusers, boilers and pumps, and leaves out pipe, fittings and labour, which matches how distributors quote.
