Understanding GCs & GRs

Ediphi’s cloud-based platform simplifies collaboration among preconstruction professionals, including operations personnel. GCs & GRs are linked to your estimate, and all your staffing, GR labor, and general conditions costs reside in our cloud-database. Both estimators and operations personnel can access the work of each side, be it an estimate or a GC or GR. This facilitates streamlined collaboration, clarity on the origin of figures, and a unified team approach to achieve more precise pricing.

GCs & GRs Example

Suppose you want to incorporate operations during the conceptual phase for more precise pricing. Maybe you've shifted from conceptual estimating to near-final for GMP. Taking the same apartment project as an example, it's now essential to engage operations members from preconstruction to finalize GC & GR costs.

They can review your bid and grasp the logic behind it, enabling them to efficiently apply the GC & GR pricing. Additionally, Ediphi's feature that automatically generates a starting schedule based on estimated quantities provides them with a foundational baseline. With Ediphi’s cloud database, all GC & GR costs are immediately available in your database, simplifying the integration of figures, including costs from previous projects. As time progresses, this database will gather data from all past projects, allowing you to confidently determine GC & GR costs using historical data for reference.

Ediphi incorporates the dynamic formulas used in the estimating module into GCs & GRs, such as automatic burdened rates, PTO, and labor increases. Since staff are allocated based on a percentage for each project, it becomes more straightforward to assess the staff workload across the portfolio.
