Ediphi Review 2026: Cloud Estimating With the Eddy AI Agent
Updated October 13, 2026 – Tested Intelligence
Quick verdict: Ediphi targets the whole estimating workflow – conceptual estimates early, detailed estimates later, in one cloud platform – and its 2026 Eddy AI agent is the headline: ask value-engineering and cost-variance questions and Eddy answers from your firm’s own estimate history rather than generic data. A native Togal.AI integration connects AI takeoff quantities straight into Ediphi. Capterra lists pricing from $3,600 per user per year; that is a third-party listing figure to verify.
What it is
Ediphi is a cloud estimating platform for GC preconstruction teams, covering both conceptual estimating – when the design is still sketches and assumptions – and detailed estimating as documents firm up. Its founder previously founded BuildingConnected, the bid-management network now inside Autodesk, and Ediphi is Suffolk-backed and widely cited in trade coverage of next-generation estimating.
Eddy, Ediphi’s AI agent launched in 2026, is what makes it an AI story rather than just modern estimating software. Eddy interrogates the firm’s own historical estimates: why did this line item vary between projects, where are the value-engineering opportunities in this concept, what did we actually pay for that system last time. That institutional-memory use of AI is arguably more valuable than faster counting – it is knowledge that usually walks out of the door with senior estimators.
Key features
- Cloud platform covering conceptual and detailed estimating in one place
- Eddy AI agent (2026) answering value-engineering and cost-variance questions
- Eddy reasons over your firm’s own estimate history, not generic benchmarks
- Native Togal.AI integration (May 2026) feeding AI takeoff quantities into estimates
- Built by the founder of BuildingConnected; Suffolk-backed
- Aimed at GC estimators and preconstruction teams
Pricing
A Capterra listing shows Ediphi from $3,600 per user per year. That is a third-party directory figure, not a vendor-published rate captured in this research, so verify current pricing and what is included (platform tiers, Eddy, integrations) directly with Ediphi. At platform level, expect a preconstruction-team purchase decision rather than a single-seat experiment.
Who it’s for
GC preconstruction departments that produce both conceptual and detailed estimates, hold years of estimate history worth mining, and want takeoff (via Togal) and estimating in one connected flow.
Who should skip it
Small subcontractors pricing straightforward bids: a $3,600-per-user platform aimed at GC precon teams is aimed over your head. Also skip if your historical estimates are a mess of inconsistent formats – Eddy’s answers can only be as good as the history it reads.
Pros
- Eddy turns your own estimate history into an answerable knowledge base
- Conceptual plus detailed estimating in one platform
- Native Togal integration closes the takeoff-to-estimate loop
- Founder pedigree (BuildingConnected) and Suffolk backing signal staying power
Cons
- Pricing is third-party listed (Capterra, from $3,600/user/yr) – verify with vendor
- Platform purchase: implementation and data standardisation effort required
- Eddy’s value depends on the quality and consistency of your estimate history
- Focused on GC preconstruction; less relevant to trade-only estimators
FAQ
What is Eddy?
Eddy is Ediphi’s 2026 AI agent. It answers value-engineering and cost-variance questions using your firm’s own estimate history inside Ediphi.
How much does Ediphi cost?
Capterra lists it from $3,600 per user per year – a third-party figure to verify with Ediphi.
Does Ediphi do takeoff?
Ediphi is the estimating platform; a native integration with Togal.AI (May 2026) brings AI takeoff quantities into Ediphi estimates.
Bottom line
Ediphi is the thinking estimator’s platform: solid cloud estimating underneath, and Eddy mining the history your firm has already paid to create. If your precon team’s knowledge lives in old spreadsheets, that is the demo to see – after verifying the real price.
