What is dili?

Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York, Dili serves developers, EPCs and compliance teams on federally funded projects. Its current platform covers 700+ projects, and the company has raised $21.7 million.

Dili is an AI compliance platform for developers, EPCs and project teams working on federally funded construction, energy, infrastructure and advanced-manufacturing projects. Teams upload certified payroll in PDF, Excel or CSV form; Dili checks wage rates, classifications, fringe benefits and apprentice requirements against project rules and wage data, then surfaces exceptions in dashboards and reports. The current product centers on Davis-Bacon, IRA and related prevailing-wage and apprenticeship obligations.

The platform combines certified-payroll review, SAM.gov wage-determination matching, RAPIDS certification validation, apprentice-hour and ratio monitoring, subcontractor oversight, audit alerts and audit-ready reporting. Dili also offers full-service monitoring, retrospective look-back assessments, alterations-and-repairs monitoring and training. It is a compliance layer rather than a payroll system, and public materials do not establish a public API, detailed security certifications or a self-serve plan structure.

Dili targets project owners, developers, EPCs, contractors and compliance professionals whose funding or tax-credit eligibility depends on labor compliance. The vendor says it has processed more than $1.4 billion in wages across 700+ projects and covers all 50 states and counties. Pricing is not published as a fixed rate: the site routes buyers to a demo, while terms state that prices may change and payments are in U.S. dollars. Its earlier diligence product has given way to the current built-world focus.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Dili cost?

+

Dili does not publish fixed plan prices. The site asks prospects to schedule a demo, and scope may include software, full-service monitoring, look-back assessment or training.

How does Dili review a project?

+

Users upload certified payroll in formats including PDF, Excel, CSV and WH-347. Dili checks wage rates, classifications, fringe benefits and apprenticeship data, then reports exceptions and project status.

How is Dili different from AuditBoard?

+

AuditBoard is a broad internal-audit and risk platform, while Dili is specialized for prevailing-wage, certified-payroll and apprenticeship compliance on built-world projects. Dili’s workflow includes SAM.gov wage matching and RAPIDS-related apprenticeship checks.

What does Dili integrate with?

+

Public materials identify SAM.gov wage feeds and RAPIDS or state apprenticeship programs. Dili also accepts payroll files in multiple formats, but a broader named integration catalog is not publicly documented.

Who should buy Dili?

+

The clearest buyers are developers, EPCs, project owners, contractors and compliance teams on federally funded construction, energy, infrastructure or advanced-manufacturing work. Projects without prevailing-wage or apprenticeship exposure are a weaker fit.

Does Dili guarantee compliance accuracy or replace an auditor?

+

Dili automates checks and flags exceptions, but its output should be reviewed against project award terms and applicable labor rules. The vendor offers expert-backed monitoring, while its terms say the service is not tailored to certain industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA or FISMA.
