Ediphi gives construction management programs a cloud-based platform based on how projects are actually built so students experience the full preconstruction lifecycle, hands-on, from day one.
Historically, estimating is taught as a snapshot: a single
number, frozen in time. Ediphi helps students experience
preconstruction as a comprehensive discipline — from first
concept to defined scope.
A static spreadsheet, one final figure, no record of how the number was reached.
A living estimate that evolves with the design. Every decision,
change, and assumption is captured and explained.
Ediphi gives students skills that translate directly to the work they'll do on day one.
Build estimates from design intent before scope is defined and learn to price ideas, not just drawings.
Estimate together and track every change, live the way modern preconstruction teams actually work.
See how cost evolves at every stage of design and understand exactly why it changes.
Define quantities once and reuse them across the project so updates flow through automatically.
Use historical data to build accurate cost models grounded in what's actually worked before.
Learn to tell the cost story to communicate the number, the assumptions, and the why behind it.
Every Ediphi estimate is a living record. As a design moves from concept to GMP, students see cost shift in real time and learn to explain each movement with confidence.
We interviewed students from across the country who used Ediphi for the first time. Here's what they said.
Colorado State University
“Using Ediphi was pretty relaxing, honestly. I hadn’t really done much estimating at all. It was really easy to use.”
Ohio State University
“I like the detail. Instead of basic plumbing and HVAC, you were doing an estimate based on what you saw — not trying to make something up along the way.”
University of Wisconsin–Stout
“I have so much more respect for our estimators now. You’ve gotta read plans and know exactly what’s going on inside those plans.”
University of Central Florida
“This is my first full taste of estimating and I enjoyed it. I could definitely see myself doing some precon when I graduate.”
Louisiana State University
Ediphi is 100% free for students and works
alongside what you already teach.
Cloud-based means students log in from anywhere. No downloads, no licenses to manage, no lab dependency.
Full audit logs let you see how each estimate evolved — who contributed what, and when.
Students learn the same platform used by leading ENR 400 GCs like DPR Construction, Hensel Phelps, and Suffolk.
Whether you're building a new precon track or enhancing an
existing program, we'd love to show you what Ediphi looks like in practice.
