Nearby active construction projects are displayed as “job dots” on a map, and contractors can instantly find out not only where the job is but also when it is, job size, project stage, construction type and bid date. Each job dot also indicates how many days are left to bid date.
Users have the ability to create a business profile to unlock even more Dodge data to find the exact name and location of a job, whether it is privately or publicly funded and even the owner’s contact information.
