McGraw-Hill Construction Announces Dodge BuildShare--an Advanced Analytics Platform That Connects AEC Professionals to the Firms Behind the Projects, Delivering Unprecedented "Relationship IQ"

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw-Hill Construction has launched Dodge BuildShare, a powerful web-based diagnostic platform that identifies key relationships between industry firms and connects them to the construction projects they have worked on, delivering competitive market share analysis and driving business ­­growth. BuildShare's digital dashboards analyze existing relationships among over 250,000 active owners, contractors, and design and engineering firms. 

"In 2011, customers embraced Dodge BuildShare, working with us in the development and implementation of the product. Today, Dodge BuildShare customers are benefiting greatly, and I am excited about that," said Keith Fox, president, McGraw-Hill Construction.

A visually dynamic and easy-to-use platform, BuildShare offers a variety of reports and dashboards that push relationship intelligence about active firms to the customer. It provides accurate and comprehensive coverage of the construction market on a project-by-project basis, allowing for segmentation by type, size and location. Architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) customers can uniquely profile competitors by sector and region to quickly assess market position and take action to gain market share.

"The winners in this economic climate are savvy firms that understand the need for superior market intelligence, including in-depth knowledge of the connections among the active owners and AEC firms responsible for projects," said Fox. "Dodge BuildShare-empowered firms have a stronger 'relationship IQ' and ability to target and win business where the opportunities are strongest. The depth and breadth of our Dodge data, coupled with our knowledge of the industry and advanced business intelligence platforms, enable us to bring this relationship game-changer to market."

BuildShare draws from McGraw-Hill Construction's robust, qualified and continuously updated Dodge construction project data to deliver actionable intelligence on active owners to general contractors, construction management firms, engineers and architects.  Customized market share and relationship metrics by owner, AEC firm, region, and construction sector enable firms to better prioritize business development initiatives. BuildShare's market-sizing feature delivers a quarterly forecast of construction activity related to regional and project type opportunities.
