Don't Just Take Our Word For It - See What Our Customers Are Saying

“Dodge’s search engine is not good. They’re more difficult to maneuver.”

“Having used other platforms in the past, i.e. Dodge reports, ConstructConnect had the best information for my company to find leads and make connections with people in the industry we can work with.”

“Best platform on the market in terms of data accuracy and availability. Wouldn’t choose another platform over ConstructConnect.”

What’s the difference between ConstructConnect and Dodge Construction Network?

Both ConstructConnect and Dodge Construction Network provide construction project information, but they’re built for slightly different needs.

ConstructConnect combines public and private project data with a full preconstruction workflow. Projects are researched and updated daily by a dedicated team, and the platform includes tools for spec review, takeoff, estimating, bid management, and analytics so teams can find projects and act on them in a unified space.

Dodge is known for project reporting and market insights, but many contractors use ConstructConnect when they want deeper project details, faster updates, and tools to actually pursue and manage bids, not just track the market.

How does the accuracy of ConstructConnect project data compare to Dodge Data & Analytics?

ConstructConnect gives contractors a clearer, more usable view of upcoming projects out for bid.

With ConstructConnect, projects are researched and updated daily by a team of 400+ construction researchers, often through direct outreach. That means you see public and private projects earlier, with bidder lists, award history, and clearer project scope. This means you'll spend less time chasing dead ends and more time focusing on projects you can win.

Dodge Construction Network relies more on batch updates and focuses on market reporting, which can mean fewer details at the bid level and less visibility into who’s bidding or winning.

For contractors that are making daily bid decisions, ConstructConnect shows you the full picture.

What’s the difference between ConstructConnect and Dodge Construction Network project data?

ConstructConnect gives you more actionable project data for bidding and preconstruction, while Dodge Construction Network is broader and more focused on market reporting.

With ConstructConnect, you get access to North America’s largest database of public and private commercial construction projects, all updated daily by a team of 400+ researchers. That means bidder lists, award history, full project scope, CSI‑coded plans and specs, and advanced filters that help you find the right work fast. 

Dodge also offers project information and long‑term construction starts data that’s used for forecasting and market analytics, but its updates tend to come in batch cycles and don’t include detailed bid‑level bidder and award lists the way ConstructConnect does.

In short, if you’re focused on finding, qualifying, and bidding work with up‑to‑the‑minute detail, ConstructConnect’s data is built around that workflow. Dodge is strong for industry trends and broader market insights, but doesn’t give you the same depth of bid‑ready details in one place.

Which platform helps subcontractors secure more consistent construction projects: ConstructConnect or Dodge Construction Network?

Subcontractors often choose ConstructConnect when they want a steady, reliable flow of qualified projects.

ConstructConnects platform delivers real-time updates on public and private projects, along with bidder lists, award history, and full project scope, so subs can see the full picture before committing to a bid. Plus, access to hundreds of thousands of construction companies makes it easier to identify and pursue work that truly fits their business needs.

Dodge provides project information and market insights, but its updates are slower and bid-level details are limited, which can make it harder to maintain a consistent pipeline of actionable opportunities.

How do ConstructConnect and Dodge Construction Network compare for finding new construction project opportunities?

ConstructConnect is built to make discovering new projects faster and easier.

With a mobile-friendly interface, powerful filters, CSI-based search, and access to a network of 575,000+ construction companies, you can find, qualify, and act on new opportunities from virtually anywhere. Updates are real-time for public and private projects, so you’re seeing the most current information.

Dodge Construction Network provides project listings and market data, but the user experience is less modern, updates are slower, and the network reach isn’t as broad.

For contractors and subcontractors focused on finding and pursuing the right work quickly, ConstructConnect gives you the tools and connections you need

Do ConstructConnect and Dodge Construction Network offer construction project management tools?

ConstructConnect focuses on preconstruction, not full project management. It helps you find projects, review scope, manage bids, and connect with the right partners. You can also integrate it with estimating tools like On‑Screen Takeoff with Takeoff Boost for a seamless workflow before construction starts.

Dodge Construction Network works in a similar way—providing project data and discovery, but doesn’t include full project management either.

Most teams pair either platform with separate project management software to handle execution once a project is awarded.
