BOSTON — March 11, 2025 – DPR Construction, a national leader in commercial contracting, has completed its year-long pilot program with Ediphi’s full suite of cloud-based estimating tools. The transition to Ediphi’s next-generation preconstruction platform marks a major step forward in DPR’s ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency, optimize workflows, and foster collaboration across its nationwide operations.
"DPR consistently set high standards throughout their vetting process, and we’re honored to have met those expectations," said Sarah DeBaca, VP of Customer Success at Ediphi. "Preconstruction is so much more than estimating; it’s about helping our customers become storytellers and giving them the tools they need to do so. We’re proud to support DPR’s preconstruction experts in setting new standards for estimating excellence."

Successful Pilot Leads to Nationwide Rollout
During its year-long pilot program, DPR tested Ediphi's tools with a select group of estimators. The program focused on refining the platform, with weekly meetings for feedback and exploring additional functionalities. The response from DPR’s estimators was overwhelmingly positive, with praise for key features such as:
Integrated Area Sheets
Allowing for quick updates to estimates when building footprints change.
Estimate Schedule of Values
Aligning seamlessly with existing client review workflows.
Rooms and Use Groups
Improving project tracking from initial estimates through GMP.
Standardized Data Structures
Ensuring flexibility while maintaining consistency in reporting.
“Our goal has always been to simplify our workflows and enhance productivity across our teams,” said Alan Watt, a senior preconstruction technology leader at DPR. “Ediphi’s modern, web-based approach allows us to centralize estimating data, improve collaboration, and future-proof our preconstruction capabilities.”
As part of its continued technology-driven transformation, DPR plans to integrate Ediphi’s platform across its growing project portfolio. DPR is expected to generate nearly 30,000 estimates annually, and Ediphi’s tools will be essential in streamlining estimating processes, ensuring greater precision, and enabling data-driven decision-making.
