In short:

  • ConstructConnect® Analytics is a toolset within the ConstructConnect platform that helps commercial construction professionals turn verified project data into clear answers about their market, lead generation opportunities, and specification positioning.
  • Building product manufacturers (BPMs) use it to track specification share, identify high-value prospects, and understand how their products stack up against competitors.
  • Contractors use it to find growing markets, prioritize the right GC relationships, and make expansion decisions backed by real project data.
  • Three focused dashboards — Lead Generation, Specification Positioning, and Market Overview — each answer a specific question your team is already asking every week.
  • AI-generated summaries make it possible for anyone on your team to go from a high-level market view to a specific project list in seconds, no analytics expertise required.

What Is ConstructConnect Analytics?

ConstructConnect Analytics is a toolset within the ConstructConnect platform built for commercial construction contractors and building product manufacturers (BPMs). Available as part of the ConstructConnect® Project Intelligence Premium tier, it brings together details on 825,000+ verified projects with workflow-specific dashboards that help you understand the data.

Analytics is built around three core dashboards: Lead Generation, Specification Positioning, and Market Overview (with Forecast Starts coming soon). Each one is designed to answer different questions that you and your team are constantly asking:

  • Who should I call next?
  • How are our products performing?
  • Where is the market shifting?

What Analytics includes:

  • Access to 2 million+ searchable plans and specifications.
  • Data on 200,000+ architects and engineers with specification history.
  • 15,000 new U.S. and Canadian projects added every month.
  • AI-generated summaries that update based on your filters and search criteria.
  • Quick access to project and company details.

What Are the Three Dashboards in Analytics?

Lead Generation: Who Should I Call Next?

The Lead Generation dashboard lets teams turn project activity into a prioritized contact list without juggling static spreadsheets or cold prospect lists.

With the Lead Generation dashboard, you can:

  • Pinpoint high-activity accounts and see which companies are most active in your markets.
  • Find new prospects, specifically firms doing relevant work where you have little or no existing relationship.
  • Spot cross-sell opportunities with customers already using some of your products but not others.

Specification Positioning: How Are Our Products Performing?

The Specification Positioning dashboard tracks how often a manufacturer's products are being specified, and how that compares to key competitors, across architects, geographies, and project types.

With the Specification Positioning dashboard, you can:

  • Track specification activity for your products over time and compare it to competitors.
  • Target segments where competitors dominate to refine coverage, campaigns, or messaging.
  • Strengthen relationships with architects and firms who specify your products most often.

Market Overview: Where Is the Market Shifting?

The Market Overview dashboard gives teams a high-level read on how overall project activity is changing across categories, locations, and time periods.

With the Market Overview dashboard, you can:

  • Compare activity across regions and segments to identify where demand is growing or slowing.
  • Track trends over time so quarterly business reviews start with real data.
  • Spot emerging categories or geographies that may need new investment or coverage.

What Makes Analytics Different?

Most business intelligence tools show you charts. Analytics is built to tell you the story behind them, and make that story accessible to everyone who needs it, regardless of analytical expertise.

  • View AI-generated summaries that reflect your data in real time.
  • Go from high-level insights to in-depth project details in one click.
  • Access tools backed by years of verified commercial construction data.

How Does Analytics Help Contractors and BPMs?

For contractors, the big challenge is knowing which markets are worth pursuing, which general contractor (GC) relationships are generating consistent work, and how to expand without overextending.

For BPMs, winning specifications drives revenue, which involves knowing who specifies your products, where you're losing ground to competitors, and which architects you haven't reached yet.

Different vantage points, same kinds of questions. Here's how Analytics answers them on both sides:

Questions your teams are asking Contractors BPMs
Where is the market moving? See where project activity is growing across sectors and regions before committing resources to a new market. Track spec share trends across markets, product categories, and geographies, and see where competitors are gaining or losing ground.
Who should we be targeting? Identify which GCs are most active in your target markets, what types of projects they pursue, and whether they align with your capabilities and profitability goals.    Pinpoint which of 200,000+ architects and engineers specify products like yours, and which ones haven't yet.
How do we plan with data, not gut feelings? Filter by project stage and start date to build a pipeline that fits your team's schedule and skillset. Support quarterly business reviews and territory planning with real market data instead of anecdotes.

What's Coming Next for Analytics?

Forecast Starts is a forward-looking feature coming soon to Analytics. It provides projections across more than 50 project categories, including high-growth segments like data centers and manufacturing facilities, so BPMs and contractors can plan for where demand is heading, not just where it has been. For long-term territory planning and investment decisions, the Forecast Starts dashboard will give teams the ability to get ahead of market shifts rather than react to them.

Company Relationship Mapping, also in development, will show how architects, GCs, owners, and manufacturers are connected across projects, making it easier to identify relationship gaps and prioritize where to build new connections.
