FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How ConstructConnect Compares to PlanHub

What’s the difference between ConstructConnect and PlanHub?

The biggest difference is how many projects you see and how reliable the information is.

PlanHub mainly shows user-submitted projects. ConstructConnect gives you access to the largest database of public and private construction projects in North America, all reviewed and updated daily by a dedicated research team.

With ConstructConnect, you don’t just see more jobs, you get clearer details, bidder lists, past award information, and organized plans and specs so you can decide which projects are worth bidding and go after them with confidence, all from a single trusted place.

How do ConstructConnect and PlanHub compare for subcontractors looking for bid opportunities?

Subcontractors use ConstructConnect when they want a more reliable stream of bid opportunities.

ConstructConnect is backed by researched public and private project data, plus bidder info, award history, and organized plans and specs. That makes it easier to figure out which jobs are actually worth bidding.

PlanHub leans more on user-submitted listings, which can be hit or miss on detail and updates.

If you’re looking to spend less time chasing dead ends and more time bidding the right work, ConstructConnect is built to give you better visibility upfront.

Does ConstructConnect or PlanHub offer better construction project data?

ConstructConnect gives you more projects and better better project details.

You get access to the largest database of public and private commercial construction projects, all researched and updated daily by a team of hundreds of construction researchers. Each project includes things like bidder lists, award history, full scope, and CSI-coded plans and specs, so it’s easier to search, filter, and decide what’s worth your time.

PlanHub relies more on user-submitted projects, which can vary in quality and how often they’re updated. If you want fewer surprises and more confidence in the data you’re bidding from, ConstructConnect gives you a clearer, more complete picture of the projects you're interested in. 

Is ConstructConnect or PlanHub better for preconstruction and bidding?

For teams focused on preconstruction, ConstructConnect is built to support your entire workflow.

That starts with finding the right public and private projects, then reviewing plans and specs, managing bids, and using analytics to focus on the best opportunities. ConstructConnect also integrates with tools like On-Screen Takeoff with Takeoff Boost and connects you to a large network of contractors, subcontractors, and manufacturers.

PlanHub is more limited to posting and responding to bids. If you’re looking for an end-to-end preconstruction workflow—not just a place to see invitations—ConstructConnect gives you more control upfront.

 

How do contractors evaluate ROI when choosing between ConstructConnect and PlanHub?

When contractors think about ROI, they usually ask: Are these the right projects? How fast can I go from invite to bid? And what’s this really going to cost me?

With ConstructConnect, you get access to public and private projects that are verified by researchers, plus takeoff tools, downloads, and analytics all included. That means less juggling subscriptions, fewer surprises, and more value out of every project you go after.

PlanHub can get you started, but you may end up paying for extra tools and add-ons. ConstructConnect keeps it all in one place so you can focus on winning work, not piecing together software.

How does ConstructConnect vs. PlanHub compare for general contractors?

General contractors often go with ConstructConnect when they want better project info and a bigger network.

You get researcher-verified data on public and private projects, bidder lists, award history, and access to hundreds of thousands of construction companies. Plus, tools to organize, track, and communicate bids make it easier to stay on top of opportunities and actually win the work.

PlanHub gives you access to some bids, but ConstructConnect gives General Contractors the full picture and the tools to act on it.
