Compare Ediphi

Compare the features.
Then compare what’s underneath.

Every estimating tool can produce a number. Ediphi connects yours to your cost history, your team, and every decision from first budget to GMP.

Start with the tool your team uses today. Each comparison goes feature by feature across platform, estimating, GCs and GRs, cost modeling, and contracting.

Built differently

One estimate, from first concept to GMP.

Desktop estimating tools were built around one estimator and one file. Ediphi was built around your team’s cost data: every estimate, line, and decision coded to the same catalog and connected from first budget to buyout. So your team works in one estimate, every project adds to your cost history, and Eddy, coming soon, will show the source behind every number.

Work together

Your whole team works in one estimate, live, from any browser. There’s nothing to install, no remote desktop or VPN, and JV partners can join the same project, so nobody prices off a stale copy.

Become more intelligent

Right-click any line to see what you’ve carried on past projects, and build cost models from your own completed estimates. Every estimate makes the next one better.

Go further

Start with a real conceptual estimate from area sheets, unit mix, and systems, then carry it all the way to GMP. General conditions and general requirements live inside the estimate, with staffing and labor, so nothing gets rebuilt in a separate spreadsheet.

FAQ

How is Ediphi different from desktop estimating tools like DESTINI, WinEst, or Sage?+

Ediphi was built for the cloud, not moved to it. Your whole team works live in the same estimate from any browser, with no remote desktop or hosting setup. Cost modeling through buyout runs on one platform, so every estimate adds to your cost history instead of living in a separate file.

How does Ediphi compare to Autodesk ProEst?+

Both run in the browser. Ediphi focuses only on preconstruction, so parametric estimating, cost modeling, and GCs and GRs sit in the same platform as your detailed estimate.

Can we bring our existing estimates into Ediphi?+

Yes. Past estimates can be imported, so your cost history comes with you. Your account team will scope the move with you.

Do we have to give up Excel?+

No. The Last Mile Excel add-in keeps owner bid forms and reports synced with your estimate, in the formats your team and your clients already use.

Does Ediphi use AI?+

Yes. Eddy, coming soon, is the AI analyst built for preconstruction. Ask about any estimate or past project and Eddy answers from your own cost history, with the source behind every number.
