Community Insights

TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Users rely on ConstructConnect's database to qualify and track building projects, allowing them to measure success in growing awareness in the bid/spec market through marketing programs. However, there have been reports of the cloud-based software system being unreliable, with some users uncertain if it will work upon sign-on. Inconvenience has also been expressed by users who have had to sign on twice in a row to gain access.

Despite these challenges, many users find value in utilizing the software for various purposes. For example, it is commonly used to identify engineering firms that specify their product as well as their competitors' products for potential outreach. Additionally, the software is utilized to present lunch and learns with the goal of expanding sales in the commercial marketplace.

Another key use case of ConstructConnect is its ability to provide insights into upcoming jobs available for bidding. Construction companies greatly benefit from this feature as they are able to find new or existing projects that align with their specific parameters and search for projects that require certain products. The software primarily caters to sales and estimating teams, although managers occasionally utilize it to scout for products of interest to add to their distribution list.

Furthermore, users leverage ConstructConnect's software to pull sales leads within industries where their company's products are used. These leads can then be distributed among representatives in different locations. However, it is worth mentioning that there have been some negative experiences expressed by users. Specifically, certain individuals have found the daily email with repetitive and unhelpful leads disappointing and feel that the service does not meet their expectations.

We were looking at moving on from sub contracting.<br>I was under the impression that Construction connect was a hub of users and jobs. Its not. Its just a daily email with the same old useless leads every day.<br><br>This service is worth zero to me.<br>I feel as if I've been conned.
I've been on the site every day for two weeks. There has not been a single instance when a possible job was presented. There are just the same sad useless "leads" every day.

  • Took $1700.00 from me, provided no service. This site IMHO is a joke.
This was my first and last experience with this type of "service"

I used ConstructConnect Insight software in my business to access upcoming jobs that are available to bid for my construction company.
  • They have a relatively comprehensive list of jobs available. However these jobs are available on other platforms as well.
  • Customer service is definitely lacking. Trying to get clear answers from my rep was difficult.
  • My sales rep was not trustworthy to do what he said and was only concerned about their own bottom line. Instead of trying to cultivate a long term customer we were treated as just another number and another couple of zeros on their balance sheet.
I would not do business with them in the future because of the poor treatment we have received, especially when there are other alternatives with better customer service and more ethical sales people.

  • Our experience has overall been negative. The money we have spent has been a net loss for our company.
It offers the same services with a better feel and experience.

I use this software in many different ways--finding new or existing projects that fit my companies parameters. I also use it to search for projects with specific products.

We mainly use it in sales/estimating. From time to time, managers use it to scout for products we may have interest in adding to our distribution list.
  • My favorite part of ConstructConnect is the ability to have detailed specifications that are up to date. We have used other software in the past that sadly could not keep even 50% of posted specifications up to date.
  • The tracking process is great! I have 5-6 personal lists and lists that are created for our team by the ConstructConnect team that tracks different projects for different teams we have.
  • The user-friendly way to search for thousands of projects, products, and companies.
  • I would like the option to download a certain subsection from a section of the specifications.
  • I think an archive of older projects that no longer have available documents would be great to have access to with the ability to restore all documents.
I think ConstructConnect is a very valuable tool for any company that wants to find new building projects for their products.

The only time this would be less suitable is if you are not involved at any point in new, old, or just add-on construction.

  • It's had a huge impact since we switched to it. I do not have exact numbers to share but I would say we have increased weekly leads significantly in the last three years.
  • The time it saves is great! I know that we can trust that 95% of the information we see on ConstructConnect is up to date. This typically will save me multiple calls/emails daily.
  • The only negative thing I can think of is we have fewer interactions with other people daily, whether that be face to face, by phone, or email.
We chose ConstructConnect as our main way for finding new and existing construction projects, as it overall had more up-to-date information available. It was also the most user friendly software of its type on the market. Furthermore, they have also been working with us closely to help us tighten our tracking of projects, products, and companies, which saves us a lot of time and money.

It is used to pull sales leads within the industries our products are used in. These leads are distributed to representatives in various locations.
  • Great for large amounts of data.
  • Has great filters.
  • Too many false positives.
  • Slow speeds on occasion.
If you are going to be a power user of the service, I would recommend it more. The projects can lean a little heavily into the water treatment sector so I would highly recommend anyone in that sector use the service.

  • It has given us more sales leads.
  • Direction for reps.
We went with ConstructConnect due to its easier interface and more available projects.
They frequently check-in to make sure you are being properly helped and are quick with a response if you need something.

Track projects in which our products, and our competition, are specified to measure our success in growing awareness in the bid/spec market via our marketing programs, identify engineering firms specifying our product and our competitive products to call on to present lunch n learns. Ultimately growing our sales in the commercial marketplace. Currently, I am the only one using it, but present monthly reports on stats that indicate trends, also highlight special hits indicating usage or other remarkable findings.
  • I find it amazing how fast results come up when searching on a keyword
  • details, details, details.. again, marvelous.
  • filters work really well giving highly efficient results pointed at just what you want.
  • exporting to pdf with customizable flexibility, very useful giving all the details on a project or firm via attachments to emails.
  • I would like to see the Listing date for a project in the exported excel sheet
  • I don't know where to find it, but make available and easy to find and reference the search rules.. like using the AND, OR.. type of functions.
  • I don't like it that when you open up insight it defaults to an Updated Within level. I always have to remember to turn that off before I run my searches.
It is very well suited for finding projects where your product is specified, and I just use my company name. but, for other keywords, great.. and then it highlights where you are on the document that comes up. Also, it tells you how many times in the specific project documents it is found so you can find all of them.

Not sure, but we're not sure how legal, or ethical, it is for the database to show contact names, phone and email addresses. We don't believe those people appreciate unqualified inclusion in company databases for marketing communication.. ie e-newsletters, etc.

  • only positive, gave us the ability to find engineering firms to solicit for sales calls and lunch n learns to increase their awareness of what Caleffi products can do for them and their clients, the very good impact for us. Also, given us projects with new products to focus on learning use and leveraging that sell to others.
don't know, haven't used or even courted anyone else for this purpose. Found Reed years ago at ASHRAE/AHR expo, and started it with their pitch then and their good assistance since then.
