Ediphi for Trade Estimating

Price the work as it
happens on site

When you self-perform, you own the risk. Labor & Crews puts your crews, rates, and production rates in the Ediphi estimate, with the math in view. Assemblies break each scope into the activities your crews perform. All on the same platform as your GC team.

Built for self-perform

Price self-performed labor from your real crews and production rates

Self-perform estimates come from your actual cost of production: the crew, its rates, and how fast it puts the work in place. Labor is the hardest of those to pin down, so that’s our starting point.

A number you’re confident in

Build crews from labor resources with their own standard, OT, and DT rates. Hours, blended rate, and total labor calculate on every line, and when a rate or crew changes, every linked line follows.

A number your whole team works from

Self-perform teams can work alongside your GC team on one platform, or in their own space with its own catalog and pricing. Either way, admins set crews once by region, and every estimate starts from them.

Crews

Set your crews once,
change them anytime

Admins define labor resources and crews in the Unit Price Catalog, with rates by region, so a carpenter at $50/hr in Atlanta and $75/hr in Boston carries the right rate into every estimate. When a wage, overtime, or crew makeup changes, update the crew and every line that uses it follows. Project-level edits never overwrite the catalog.

Assemblies

Crews inside your assemblies

Set up assemblies in your catalog, like a slab with excavation, formwork, concrete, and placement. Each activity is its own line item with a product, a crew, and its own Historical Pricing. Bulk update activities across an estimate, and show an assembly’s cost in the unit you need, cubic yards or cubic feet.

Takeoff

Quantities that flow
into the estimate

Takeoff quantities arrive mapped to your catalog, and updates can be accepted or deferred line by line as the takeoff changes. On-Screen Takeoff imports too, and the Last Mile Excel add-in keeps reports in the format your team already uses.

Historical Pricing

Build on what your
crews actually did

Your crews have done this scope before. Right-click any line to open Historical Pricing and see every past job where it was used, with the production rate and cost each time. Every estimate you build adds to that history and makes your next project smarter.

Assembly questionnaires

Answer a few questions about the spec and the means and methods, and the assembly fills in its own line items and quantities.

FAQ

Does Ediphi support self-perform estimating?+

Yes, starting with labor. Your trade estimators can price labor from real crews and production rates, and build assemblies activity by activity, inside Ediphi today. We have enhancements coming soon, like assembly questionnaires that will auto-fill line items and quantities.

Can our self-perform and GC teams work on one platform?+

Yes, and you choose how. If your self-perform team works separately, it can have its own catalog and pricing. If the teams work together, an estimator can price self-performed work right inside a regular estimate. Either way, your existing crews and rates come in with a CSV import, in the catalog or in an estimate.

Can we adjust a crew for one project without changing our standards?+

Yes. Each estimate gets its own copy of the crews it uses, so you can change the makeup or rates for one project and every linked line updates, while your catalog stays as it was.

Do you support assemblies in Ediphi?+

Yes. Set up assemblies in your catalog with the activities your crews perform, like excavation, formwork, concrete, and placement. Each activity is its own line item with a crew and its own Historical Pricing, and you can bulk update activities across an estimate.

Can I estimate in man hours vs crew hours in Ediphi?+

Yes. Enter production in crew hours or man hours per unit, whichever your team uses, and Ediphi calculates the other. Either way, you get the same labor unit cost.
