‍A monumental shift is underway in the realm of construction, and Ediphi, the most comprehensive cloud-based estimating solution on the market, is at the forefront. Today, Ediphi proudly announces a groundbreaking partnership with DPR Construction, one of the largest contractors in the US.

Through this strategic agreement, DPR's preconstruction teams will gain access to Ediphi's full arsenal of estimating tools and software. This initial implementation signifies a pivotal move for DPR, marking a shift away from legacy desktop-based estimating software and embracing the transformative power of the cloud.

"This decision comes after a meticulous evaluation process," declares Alan Watt, a preconstruction technology leader at DPR Construction. "For over three years, we've rigorously explored leading estimating tools, and Ediphi emerged as the clear frontrunner.  Its robust, cloud-based approach to the entire preconstruction lifecycle truly impressed us."

DPR's vision is clear: to leverage Ediphi's capabilities to streamline workflows, elevate efficiency, and cultivate a data-driven approach to preconstruction.  "We anticipate Ediphi will significantly reduce our reliance on fragmented, in-house tools and disconnected applications," Watt adds.  "This will not only improve data quality and aggregation, but also foster seamless collaboration across various project teams—a cornerstone of successful project execution."

Traditionally, the construction industry has grappled with siloed operations. Business development, estimating, project management, and operations personnel often work within separate applications, hindering communication and collaboration.  Ediphi shatters these silos, uniting all stakeholders on a single, collaborative platform.

This fosters a more cohesive and efficient preconstruction process, ultimately impacting project costs and downstream success.

"Our vision extends far beyond simply migrating and estimating to the cloud," explains Dustin DeVan, CEO of Ediphi.  "We aim to empower contractors from the very first client conversation about costs all the way to finalizing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and procurement—all within one unified application."

DeVan elaborates on the pain points Ediphi aims to address: "Currently, there's a significant information gap between the initial project concept and the groundbreaking ceremony.  Communication and workflows often reside offline, trapped in emails, spreadsheets, or dispersed across various applications.  This partnership with DPR Construction signifies a powerful validation that Ediphi's solution has the potential to revolutionize the industry by eliminating these chronic hurdles."

This strategic collaboration comes on the heels of Ediphi's successful Series A funding round, which secured $12 million led by Norwest Venture Partners. This significant investment follows a $6.5 million seed round from Suffolk Technologies in November 2023.
