Ediphi for Owners

Your precon budget in full view, in real time

Ediphi gives owners a live view of every line their team prices, so target value design projects stay on target from concept through buyout.

The Problem

Every party has an estimate. None of them connect.

Disconnected numbers

Each party prices in its own file, against its own scope. Excel becomes the common ground, and reconciling is a project in itself.

History you can’t see

Why the number moved between SD and GMP lives in old emails and attachments. It only surfaces when the board asks.

Late budget surprises

The first number becomes the anchor. The real cost shows up at bid, after design money is spent and scope cuts are the last lever.

Fed’s Office of Inspector General

A 2x budget increase that no one could explain

Four MEP packages were estimated at $206M and awarded at $694M. Four parties had priced the project, but no one could say whether the estimate, the scope, or the market caused the miss.

With Ediphi

Own the cost story, from first budget to GMP

Your builders estimate. You make the capital decisions. Ediphi gives you the same live view of cost, scope, and decisions they work from, without waiting for the next pricing exercise.

01 · Rooms / Units

Validate the budget before you commit to capital

Price a space program before drawings exist, using the room types you build again and again: patient rooms, imaging suites, data halls. Every new number is checked against your own completed projects, in the units your board uses.

02 · Cost Trendline

Catch budget drift at 50% DD (not at GMP)

Every estimate is plotted against your target, and any two points break down by scope, quantity, and unit cost. Drift shows up at 50% DD, not at GMP, so you walk into the board meeting with the reason, not just the number.

03 · Markups & Sort Codes

Your standards applied across every builder

Define your cost codes and markup structure and every GC prices to them. Fees, contingency, and general conditions land in the same buckets on every project so you can compare builders line by line.

04 · Project Grid

Every project, status, and budget on one grid

See every project across every builder in a single grid: milestone, current estimate, target, and status. Filter by program, builder, or milestone to see where every job stands.

[In my role] I’m interested in visualizations and ways that I can look at multiple projects together…something that brings the entire preconstruction experience together. When Ediphi was brought to us, it really resonated.

For your GCs

It’s an easy ask…their numbers stay theirs

They start from your structure

GCs begin from your structured estimate, rather than rebuilding it. Both sides work from the same line-item reasons instead of reconciling after the fact.

Competing GCs never see each other

Each GC is invited only to its own unique project. Pricing, files, and even presence stay invisible to the other firms you work with, but you see all of it.

Many leading contractors already use it

Suffolk, DPR, and Hensel Phelps all estimate in Ediphi today. For several of your partners, this isn’t new; it’s a tool they already use, pointed at your project.

Already happening

One of America's leading health systems is bringing its GCs onto Ediphi.

It's building its cost foundation with Ediphi: room-by-room pricing from conceptual design through buyout, shared with its GC partners as their starting point.
