Dodge Data & Analytics Deepens Its Commitment to Canadian Market
NEW YORK, NY – March 20, 2018 – Dodge Data & Analytics has partnered with several large Canadian construction associations to significantly increase the volume of projects and documents reported and provide better value and coverage to its customer base.
Enhancing its offering in key Canadian provinces, Dodge has entered exclusive relationships with the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA) and the majority of local construction associations within the province of Ontario. Leveraging the analytical capacity and combined data sets of all parties, Dodge will further develop Canadian economic- and construction-related materials and forecasts for association members and Dodge customers.
“Through these strategic partnerships, Dodge is doubling down on Canadian construction and reaffirming its commitment to providing unparalleled market insights on Canadian construction activity,” said Mike Petrullo, Chief Executive Officer, Dodge Data & Analytics. “As always, we will continue to seek new Canadian sources to enhance our coverage and the value we offer the industry.”
The addition of new sources and the increased availability of documents has already fueled significant growth in Dodge’s collection of Canadian projects and associated plans and specifications, and Dodge anticipates further substantive increases in Ontario, which represents about 40% of Canadian construction activity.
