Dodge Data & Analytics

What Dodge Data & Analytics does

Dodge Data & Analytics (legally Dodge Construction Network LLC, headquartered in Boston, MA) is a subscription-based construction intelligence platform serving the North American commercial construction industry. The company tracks 700,000+ commercial projects annually from pre-planning through construction start, sourced from 19,000+ web and print feeds, 3,000+ municipalities, and verified daily by 400+ field reporters. Its core offering is Dodge One, a unified platform that delivers daily Dodge Reports (7,382 published per day), plan and specification access, market forecasts, and the Dodge Momentum Index — a monthly economic indicator used as a leading signal of construction activity.

The platform is supplemented by sub-brands including The Blue Book (subcontractor directories and bid invitations, acquired 2021), Sweets (building product specifications), IMS (market intelligence), and Principia (custom research and consulting). Technology components include REST APIs and data feeds for programmatic access, native CRM integrations with Salesforce (15+ year ISV partner), HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, iOS and mobile-web applications, and an AI Search Assist capability for natural-language project discovery. The proprietary dataset spans 130+ years of construction history, 10M+ archived plans and specifications, and 677,000+ construction firm profiles.

Dodge generates revenue primarily through enterprise subscriptions to Dodge One, priced on a quote basis by geographic scope, seat count, and product configuration, with annual or multi-year contract terms and automatic renewal provisions. Secondary revenue comes from market intelligence subscriptions (forecasts and analytics), custom consulting engagements (Principia), and brand-specific product lines (Sweets, IMS). Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales and inside sales with personalized demos, supported by content marketing, comparison SEO, and industry research. Customer segments span general contractors, subcontractors, building product manufacturers, architects/engineers, sales teams, distributors, and construction executives. The company is privately held following a 2020 spin-off from S&P Global, with Clearlake Capital Group as a 2022 lead investor.
