Construction companies today are bombarded with tech solutions from every direction. In fact, from 2020 to 2022, approximately $50 billion was invested in AEC tech startups—an 85% increase compared to the previous three years [source: F1V Venture]. With so many construction technology options to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about which tools will actually streamline your work. At Ediphi, we understand. We’re here to simplify the preconstruction process, cutting through the clutter with a solution that combines the best of top-tier point solutions and avoids the pitfalls of “jack of all trades, master of none” platforms—so you can focus on what matters without getting bogged down by endless choices.
Ediphi sits at the perfect intersection of specialized point solutions and all-in-one platforms. We’re not trying to be everything to everyone, but we do want to give you the flexibility to integrate with best-in-class tools for specific workflows, like BuildingConnected for bid management or Excel for owner bid forms. Our goal is simple: to make preconstruction less complicated and more productive by focusing on the areas where we can truly drive impact, while allowing you to seamlessly connect with other tools that do the same. This is the backbone of modern cloud software — it can connect with other tools and allow data to flow; they’re also inherently collaborative.
Everyone understands that fast and accurate estimates in preconstruction are crucial—keeping clients happy and enabling decisions to be made before costs escalate. When costs rise, project feasibility is at risk, and contractors may not advance on work in time. With 50% of firms reporting that owners have canceled, postponed, or scaled back projects due to rising costs [source: AGC], it’s clear there’s significant risk for both contractors and owners, especially considering the time and resources invested in preconstruction.
We believe the best way to tackle preconstruction challenges is through an open approach. Instead of locking you into a one-size-fits-all platform, we focus on mastering key workflows like conceptual estimating, cost modeling, detailed cost estimating, GC & GR, bid analysis, and buy-out. This ensures you get the best solution for your specific needs, without sacrificing quality or flexibility. Since we’re cloud-based, we easily integrate with top industry tools and facilitate seamless data flow between them, ensuring your technology works in harmony. With 95% of data captured in the construction and engineering industry going unused [source: FMI], eliminating data silos is a major benefit for everyone.
At the end of the day, preconstruction is about precision, efficiency, and making informed decisions—and that’s where Ediphi shines. 82% of owners feel they need more collaboration with their contractors [KPMG]. By focusing on the workflows that matter most and integrating with the best tools in the industry, we help you simplify the process and get better results for your clients. Ready to cut through the noise and take control of your preconstruction? Let Ediphi help you build smarter from the very start.
