ConstructConnect and Dodge Give You the Project. Builtie Gives You the Person Who Awards Your Trade.
ConstructConnect and Dodge Construction Network are project data networks: large databases of projects, bid documents and the companies involved, sold by territory. That tells you a project exists. It does not tell a trade contractor when its trade is bought, who at the builder or GC buys it, or whether that person still works there. Builtie does those three things and then sends the LinkedIn and email outreach on Growth, at a published $79 or $99 per seat per month (CAD) with a 7-day trial.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
Where the work actually is
| ConstructConnect / Dodge | Builtie | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Projects, documents and the companies attached | Permitted projects in your trade's award window |
| Timing to your trade | You work it out | Built in: each trade's window by project size |
| The person who awards your trade | Company records and listed contacts | A named decision maker, matched on declared employer and corroborated |
| Outreach | Not the focus | LinkedIn and email sequences on Growth |
| Buying | Territory pricing, check the vendor | Published monthly price, 7-day trial |

Why the person matters more than the project
A project record with a GC's main office number puts you in the same queue as every other sub calling it. The subcontract is awarded by one person: the estimator or PM running buyout at a commercial GC, the owner at a small builder. Builtie matches that person on their declared employer, not a profile headline, and labels anything it cannot corroborate as unverified.
