ConstructConnect is a preconstruction software and data provider for contractors and manufacturers in commercial construction. The company says its tools help customers find, bid, and win the right projects, and it groups them into three stages: finding projects, assessing fit and estimating, and managing and winning bids. It describes the offering as one connected workflow from first lead to won bid.
The company was formed in 2016 by merging iSqFt, BidClerk, CDC News, and Construction Market Data, and later added On Center Software, SmartBid, QuoteSoft, and PlanSwift. The homepage says it is trusted by 100K+ commercial construction professionals, and its project data covers both the United States and Canada.
Users start in Project Intelligence, searching active public and private projects by keyword, trade, location, sector, and stage against what the company calls a live dataset. Results show project value, location, stage, and bid date. When a job is worth pursuing, the details carry into takeoff and bid management.
In takeoff, users upload plans and measure counts, lengths, and areas in the browser, with AI-assisted tools such as Takeoff BOOST. For bidding, the bid management tools let users find, prequalify, and invite subcontractors, then track responses and bid intent in real time ahead of bid day.
Project Intelligence is the core data product, with filters for trade, location, and building use, plus saved searches delivered by daily email. Higher tiers add plans, specifications, and addenda, planning projects, contact information, data export, and Ask Docs, a language-model-based document search.
On the estimating side, ConstructConnect Takeoff is browser-based and uses AI to automate counts, lengths, and areas. On-Screen Takeoff, PlanSwift, and QuoteSoft cover complex bids, drag-and-drop estimating, and pipe, plumbing, and HVAC work. Bid Center is a free digital bid board that integrates with Project Intelligence.
ConstructConnect provides data and software for contractors and manufacturers to find, bid, and win commercial construction projects. Its products cover project search, takeoff and estimating, and bid management.
Project Intelligence starts at $129 per month per market for Starter, $199 per month per market, per seat for Professional, and $10,000 per year for Premium. Takeoff plans cost $100 (Starter) and $183 (Professional) per seat per month. Other products are not priced in the sources.
The site offers a free trial of Takeoff BOOST by uploading a plan and a Try It Free option for subcontractors. It also describes Bid Center as a free digital bid board. Details of trial length are not given.
It targets subcontractors, general contractors, building product manufacturers, suppliers and distributors, hospitality firms, and service providers. Starter plans suit solo contractors and small shops, while Premium suits multi-market teams.
The sources name no third-party integrations. Bid Center integrates with Project Intelligence, and project details carry into takeoff and bid management.
It offers ConstructConnect Takeoff, On-Screen Takeoff, PlanSwift, Quick Bid, and QuoteSoft, along with Takeoff BOOST AI features. QuoteSoft is aimed at pipe, plumbing, and HVAC estimating.
The Starter plans are aimed at solo contractors and small trades shops, and Starter Project Intelligence has no annual commitment. Costs rise per market and per seat as a team grows.
The sources say its research team spends over $3 million yearly on plan documents, working with architects, plan holders, and project parties. The source text is cut off, so further detail is not available.
