What happened to FW Dodge?

FW Dodge — founded by Frederick W. Dodge in 1891 — was acquired by McGraw-Hill in 1961 and operated under the McGraw-Hill 蜜桃传媒app brand before being rebranded as Dodge Data and Analytics in 2015. In 2020, the company was spun off from S&P Global as an independent company and rebranded as 蜜桃传媒app. The Dodge Report, Dodge Data and Analytics, and Dodge 蜜桃传媒app Central are all earlier names for what is now 蜜桃传媒app, running on the Dodge One platform.

What is the difference between Dodge Data and Analytics and 蜜桃传媒app?

Dodge Data and Analytics was the name used from approximately 2015 through 2020. 蜜桃传媒app is the current company name following a rebrand and spin-off from S&P Global. The underlying data and intelligence capability is the same lineage, now on a fully rebuilt platform called Dodge One. If you used Dodge Data and Analytics previously, Dodge One is a significantly more modern version of the same product.

What is the difference between Dodge 蜜桃传媒app Central and Dodge One?

Dodge 蜜桃传媒app Central was the legacy platform interface — the version most long-term Dodge users are familiar with from before 2024. Dodge One is the current platform, rebuilt from the ground up with a modern interface, mobile access, AI-powered project matching, CRM integration, and an improved user experience. If your last Dodge experience was with 蜜桃传媒app Central, the platform you would be evaluating today is materially different in both design and functionality.

What is the Dodge Momentum Index?

The Dodge Momentum Index is a monthly economic indicator published by 蜜桃传媒app that tracks the value of commercial and institutional building projects entering the planning stage. It is widely used by construction executives, economists, and financial analysts as a leading indicator of future construction activity — because projects entering planning today become construction starts six to twelve months later. The index is broken down by commercial and institutional categories and is frequently cited by ENR, 蜜桃传媒appDive, and major financial media as a benchmark for construction market conditions.

Is 蜜桃传媒app the same as The Blue Book?

The Blue Book Network is a separate 蜜桃传媒app product focused on subcontractor and specialty trade contractor directories and bid invitations. 蜜桃传媒app acquired The Blue Book Network to expand its coverage of the subcontractor audience. The two products serve overlapping but distinct use cases — Dodge One is the primary platform for commercial project intelligence and market data, while The Blue Book is focused on the bid invitation and contractor directory function for the subcontractor market.

How does Dodge compare to ConstructConnect?

Both platforms track commercial construction projects and are used for business development. Dodge provides earlier-stage project visibility starting from pre-planning and design, while ConstructConnect is primarily focused on the active bidding stage. Dodge’s data is verified by 400+ human field reporters; ConstructConnect relies more heavily on technology-driven data collection. Dodge has a 55+ year relationship as the U.S. Census Bureau’s preferred data provider — a data quality standard ConstructConnect does not hold.

What Is 蜜桃传媒app?

蜜桃传媒app is North America's leading source of commercial construction project data, market intelligence, and forecasting analytics. Contractors choose Dodge because the platform tracks commercial construction projects from pre-planning and design through permit and construction start - giving them the earliest possible visibility into what is being built, who is building it, and what is being specified, months before that information is available anywhere else.

If you have searched for "Dodge Report," "FW Dodge," "Dodge Data and Analytics," or "Dodge 蜜桃传媒app Central," you are looking for the same company at different points in its history. All of those names refer to what is now 蜜桃传媒app, operating through Dodge One - the current platform.

Project Intelligence

What customers love about Dodge project intelligence is simple: they see commercial projects months before competitors do. 700,000+ projects tracked annually from pre-planning through construction start - long before projects reach a bid board or public record.

Market Intelligence

Our clients succeed because they make decisions based on where the market is heading, not where it has been. Sector forecasts, regional trends, construction starts data, and the Dodge Momentum Index give teams the forward-looking signal they need.

Specifications Access

Building product manufacturers choose Dodge because it gives them the design-phase window to influence specifications before bid documents are locked. Plans, specs, and product requirements - available while there is still time to act.

FW Dodge, McGraw-Hill, Dodge Data and Analytics: The Full Brand History

Dodge has operated under several names across more than 130 years of tracking the U.S. construction market. Here is how the brand has evolved - and what stayed the same throughout every transition.

1891

FW Dodge Company Founded

Frederick W. Dodge launched what would become the construction industry's most authoritative data source, originally focused on tracking building permit activity in the northeastern United States. The Dodge Report - a daily publication of new construction project information - became the industry standard for contractors and suppliers looking for new work.

1961

Acquired By McGraw-Hill

McGraw-Hill acquired FW Dodge, expanding the platform's national reach and integrating it into one of the world's largest publishing and data companies. The platform continued operating as McGraw-Hill 蜜桃传媒app and later F.W. Dodge, maintaining the Dodge Report as its flagship product.

2015

Rebranded As Dodge Data And Analytics

Following a period of significant digital transformation, the platform rebranded from McGraw-Hill 蜜桃传媒app to Dodge Data and Analytics - reflecting a shift from print-based reporting to a digital data and analytics platform. This era introduced online project tracking, digital plan rooms, and the early versions of the market intelligence products that Dodge offers today.

2020

Spun Off And Rebranded As Dodge
Construction Network

Dodge was spun off from S&P Global as an independent company and rebranded as 蜜桃传媒app, signaling a renewed focus on construction-specific intelligence and a new product investment cycle. The Blue Book Network was subsequently acquired, expanding Dodge's reach to subcontractors and specialty trade contractors.

2026

Dodge One Launched

Dodge One is the current platform - a fully rebuilt, modern interface replacing the legacy Dodge 蜜桃传媒app Central environment. Dodge One introduced mobile access, AI-powered project matching, CRM integration, and a redesigned user experience built around how commercial contractors actually work today.

If your last experience was with an older version of the platform:

Dodge One is a materially different product from Dodge 蜜桃传媒app Central, Dodge Data and Analytics, or any earlier version. If you trialed or used Dodge more than two years ago and moved on, the platform you would be evaluating today looks and works significantly differently.

What Is the Dodge Report?

The Dodge Report is the construction industry's original project intelligence product - a daily publication of new commercial construction project information that has been distributed to contractors, suppliers, and building professionals since 1891. In its original form, the Dodge Report was a printed document distributed by mail or messenger to subscribers in a given market, listing new construction projects with project details, owner information, architect, and estimated value.

Today, Dodge Reports still publish daily - 7,382 of them every single day - but they are delivered digitally through the Dodge One platform rather than in print. Every Dodge Report represents a verified commercial construction project that has been sourced, researched, and quality-checked by a member of Dodge's team of 400+ field reporters before it reaches a subscriber's dashboard.

What A Dodge Report Contains

Project name, location, and type. Project stage - planning, design, bid, or construction. Estimated project value. Owner, developer, architect, and general contractor information where available. Bid date and construction timeline. Specification divisions and trade information. Links to plans, specs, and bid documents where applicable.

How Dodge Reports Are Used Today

Our clients succeed because they use Dodge proactively - running saved searches daily, setting project alerts, and using contact intelligence to reach decision makers months before a bid goes out. The contractors who get the strongest ROI are the ones who treat Dodge as the foundation of their business development process, not a passive data feed. The best way to evaluate whether that applies to your team is a personalized demo where you can see real project coverage in your specific markets before committing to anything.

What Is the Dodge Plan Room?

The Dodge Plan Room is the document access component of the Dodge platform - the section where subscribers can view and download project plans, specifications, and bid documents associated with active commercial construction projects. Contractors choose the Dodge Plan Room because it gives them access to the full document set in one place rather than requiring separate requests to architects, GCs, or owner representatives - saving hours of manual coordination per project.

Access to Dodge Plan Room is included with Dodge One subscriptions. What clients love about the plan room notification system is that they never miss a document update - alerts fire automatically when new plans or specs are posted to projects they are tracking. For building product manufacturers, the plan room is where specification intelligence lives - the ability to see which products are being named in project documents during the design phase before bid documents are finalized and before competitors have a chance to respond.

How Much Does 蜜桃传媒app Cost?

蜜桃传媒app pricing is customized based on the scope of data access, geographic coverage, number of users, and the specific products included in a subscription. Dodge does not publish a standard price list because the right configuration varies significantly depending on whether a team needs local market coverage or national access, project data only or market intelligence as well, and individual user access or enterprise team deployment.

The most accurate way to understand Dodge pricing for your specific use case is to talk to a product specialist who can build a scope matched to your geography, sector focus, and team size. Dodge offers personalized demos where you can see exactly what is in the platform for your market before any pricing conversation - so you can evaluate the coverage and value before committing to anything.

What Affects Dodge Pricing

Geographic scope - local market, regional, or national coverage. Number of users and seats on the account. Product scope - project data only, market intelligence, specification access, CRM integration, or the full platform. Contract length and renewal terms. Industry segment and use case - GC, subcontractor, BPM, or A&E pricing may differ based on how the platform is used.

The Data Behind the Platform

Contractors and manufacturers choose Dodge in part because of a data advantage that cannot be replicated overnight. Dodge has been tracking the U.S. construction market for over 130 years. For more than 55 years, the U.S. Census Bureau has relied on Dodge as its preferred construction data provider for the federal government's official construction statistics. That institutional relationship is the most credible external validation of Dodge's data quality standards - and it is a benchmark no other construction intelligence platform holds.
