“Owner bid forms are a pain and preconstruction is left with figuring out all of this information in the last mile, putting together our bids from trade partners and our numbers. Ediphi is the next generation of estimating platforms and the Excel Add-in is a snappy workflow.” - Kyle Bonde: Senior Estimator,Hensel Phelps.
DPR CONSTRUCTION
“After extensive evaluation, including over three years of research and pilot programs among leading estimating tools, Ediphi stands out for its robust, cloud-based approach to the preconstruction life cycle.” - Alan Watt: A preconstruction technology leader at DPR Construction.

“Since transitioning to Ediphi from Sage Estimating, we have observed a significant improvement in our ability to generate estimates and utilize data for future construction projects. This switch has saved us considerable time. Although we have only been customers for a short period, the more I use the software, the more impressed I am. The capability to customize our reports and create high-end proposals will undoubtedly benefit us in our future project pursuits.” - Brian Labossier: Senior Estimator at Wright-RyanConstruction.customise our reports and create high-end proposals will undoubtedly benefit us in our future project pursuits.” - Brian Labossier: Senior Estimator at Wright-Ryan Construction.

“I recently did a study comparing our estimating team’s performances from pre-Ediphi to now. We increased revenue per estimator by $20 million and the return on investment was 1,900 percent. I’ve never seen anything like that. That’s in addition to the other efficiencies we’re seeing as we roll out Ediphi at a national level.” - Scott Menard: National Director of Preconstruction atSuffolk Construction
