About
Cloud preconstruction and estimating platform for general contractors. ediphi carries a job from conceptual cost modeling through detailed estimating, value engineering and GMP development, pricing work against a shared Unit Price Catalog of historical costs and tracking general conditions and general requirements alongside direct costs. Bid packages, bid leveling and buyout run off the same estimate structure, and an Excel add-in plus an open API move quantities and costs in and out.
How teams use it
By audience
- Estimator
- Builds conceptual estimates from minimal project inputs by pricing against the cloud Unit Price Catalog instead of a local cost workbook.
- Lets several estimators work the same estimate simultaneously in the browser rather than passing a master spreadsheet around.
- Pulls quantities in from takeoff tools (Togal.AI, STACK, On-Screen Takeoff .OST files) pre-mapped to UPC line items, so takeoff is not re-keyed.
- Compares design iterations and value-engineering options side by side against a live cost model.
- Pushes finished numbers out to owner bid forms and custom reports through the Last Mile Excel add-in.
- General Contracting
- Standardises estimating templates and cost history across offices so every pursuit is priced the same way.
- Carries one cost structure from conceptual budget through detailed estimate to GMP without rebuilding the numbers at each handoff.
- Benchmarks new pursuits against the firm's own completed estimates rather than published cost books.
- Keeps general conditions and general requirements in the same model as direct trade costs.
- Procurement & Purchasing
- Generates bid packages directly from estimate line items so scope and budget stay tied to the buyout.
- Levels subcontractor bids against the scope sheet and records bidder pricing per package.
- Tracks awarded versus estimated cost per package to speed buyout and expose leakage early.
By phase
- Concept & Planning
- Produces order-of-magnitude and conceptual estimates when the only inputs are program areas and building type.
- Tests scheme options against the contractor's historical cost data before design effort is committed.
- Design
- Re-prices the estimate as design develops and compares each iteration against the previous one.
- Runs value-engineering exercises and records which options were accepted or rejected against the budget.
- Feeds quantities taken off the design documents into the live cost model via the takeoff integrations.
- Pre-Construction
- Develops the detailed estimate and the GMP package issued to the owner.
- Issues bid packages, levels subcontractor bids and runs buyout off the same cost structure as the estimate.
- Manages general conditions and general requirements budgets alongside trade costs.
