What it doesCommercial construction project database for planning- and bid-stage projects, specs and the firms behind them. Users can find the owners, architects, and contractors behind each project. Dodge says projects are verified by its research team and that it publishes 7,000+ updates a day (vendor figure). AI Search Assist, which Dodge marks as new, takes a plain-language request (Dodge's example: "HVAC projects over $2M bidding soon near Nashville"), applies the matching filters, and shows them as editable pills; Dodge says it is built into Dodge One at no additional cost. Dodge also lists Bid Board by Downtobid, an inbox-based bid-invite manager for subcontractors, as part of the Dodge family. Re-read Oct 17, 2026: the AI Search Assist page says the feature works across project type, geography, trade, stage, valuation and bid date at once, that AI-built searches can be saved like any other, and that it is free for all Dodge One subscribers "when it launches in late 2026", while the same page also shows a "Now live" label (re-checked about 7:30 AM ET Oct 17, 2026, unchanged: the feature list says "Free for all Dodge One subscribers when it launches in late 2026", and a "NOW LIVE" label sits after the closing "Be the first to search smarter. Talk to your Dodge rep today" call to action, next to "Request a demo"; the page gives no launch date, so we treat availability as unconfirmed); it cites 700K+ projects in its training dataset and 400+ specialists verifying data. The homepage cites 700K+ unique projects tracked annually, 10M+ archived plans and specifications and 7,000+ updates a day, and lists The Blue Book, Bid Board, Sweets, IMS and Principia alongside Dodge One (vendor figures). Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the AI Search Assist page is unchanged: it still says free for all Dodge One subscribers when it launches in late 2026 and still shows a NOW LIVE label after the closing call to action, so we still treat availability as unconfirmed. The homepage now cites 100+ years of verified starts, 10M+ historical projects and a 130+ year history (vendor figures). Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: the homepage has been redesigned around finding projects and relationships, market trends and forecasting, and research and consulting; it still cites 7,000+ updates published every day and lists Dodge One, The Blue Book, Bid Board, Sweets and IMS, and no longer shows the 700K+ projects, 10M+ plans or 100+ years figures recorded earlier. The AI Search Assist page still says it is built into Dodge One at no additional cost and free for all Dodge One subscribers when it launches in late 2026; the NOW LIVE label recorded earlier no longer appears, so we still treat availability as unconfirmed. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: the AI Search Assist page again shows a NOW LIVE label, while the same page still says it is free for all Dodge One subscribers when it launches in late 2026, so we still treat availability as unconfirmed; it still says it is built into Dodge One at no additional cost.

Lead It.", with sections for finding projects and relationships, market trends and forecasting, and research and consulting, plus mobile access (iOS and web), CRM integrations and API and data feeds; the AI Search Assist page still describes plain-language requests turned into filters shown as pills, still says it is built into Dodge One at no additional cost and still says it will be free for all Dodge One subscribers when it launches in late 2026, so we still treat availability as unconfirmed. Bid Board by Downtobid is still listed for subcontractors (email sync, duplicate detection, deadline and addendum tracking, win-rate tracking). Vendor figures are not used here. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: unchanged; the AI Search Assist page still says it is built into Dodge One at no additional cost and free for all Dodge One subscribers when it launches in late 2026, alongside a "now live" label, so we still treat availability as unconfirmed.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Coverage: Dodge One describes commercial construction projects tracked from planning to bid stage, with plans and specifications, owner, architect and contractor contacts, and research it says is verified by people. Hubexo splits coverage across products: ConstructionWire for planned vertical projects (energy and mining, hotels, infrastructure, medical, residential and retail) with decision-maker contacts, Construction Monitor for residential, solar and pool building permits, Bid Ocean for underground utility and pipe rehabilitation bidding and market analysis, and NBS Canada for specifications.
  • Bidding: Dodge lists a Bid Board (built with Downtobid) for managing invitations. Hubexo lists Pantera for branded bid invitations and a white-labeled plan room with unlimited users, QuestCDN for public agency bidding, and NAPC for e-purchasing.
  • Workflow and integrations: Dodge lists saved searches and alerts, market forecasts and consulting, Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics CRM integrations, a REST API and data feeds, and iOS and web apps. ConstructionWire lists saved-search alerts, a LeadManager CRM and an API.
  • Where the AI sits: Dodge says AI Search Assist will let you describe the projects you want in plain language and set filters for you, built into Dodge One at no additional cost and free for subscribers when it launches in late 2026; availability is not confirmed on the pages we read. Hubexo's pages describe no AI features.
  • AI tag: Dodge One is tagged AI features added to an established product; Hubexo is tagged Not AI-first.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 28, 2026): neither publishes prices. Dodge One offers Request a demo with no pricing page. Hubexo offers Book a demo; its FAQ says the rebrand brings no pricing changes, and Pantera's page says plans start at less than the price of a cup of coffee per day without a figure. See each tool page for detail.
  • Not like-for-like: Dodge One is one platform centered on commercial project data, while Hubexo is a set of separately sold products, so the right comparison depends on which Hubexo product covers your market (for example Bid Ocean for underground work or QuestCDN for public bids).
  • Not used here: Dodge's project, plan, update and research-staff counts and its government-data claim, and Hubexo's opportunity and supplier counts and customer quotes (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
