What you’re missing with Dodge.
What Dodge does well. Dodge has tracked construction for more than 130 years, follows private projects as well as public ones, and its reporters pick projects up during design.
A price you only hear on a sales call
Dodge doesn't publish a price list. Its own page says the quote depends on your territory, the number of users, the products you add and the contract length, and it starts with a demo. Capterra lists no free trial.12
Each new state or estimator means a new quote
Geography and users are what Dodge prices on, so adding a territory or a new hire goes back through your rep. Every Capveon plan covers federal, state and local agencies, and everyone on the team gets a seat.1
Built for commercial construction
Dodge describes itself as commercial construction project data. If you also chase maintenance contracts, equipment or supply bids from cities and utilities, you need another source for those.1
The plan room hands you the specs. Reading them is still your job.
Dodge's plan room is where you view and download plans, specs and bid documents, and its AI matches projects to your profile. Someone on your team still opens each spec to find the bond, the insurance, whether you're named or "or equal", and whether BABA applies.1
What Capveon does differently.
The work Dodge leaves to your team, done for you, on the screens you’d use.
Every bid read for what you sell.
Set your columns once: spec position, quantities, competitors named, BABA, bond and insurance. Capveon reads the specs, the drawings and every addendum on each bid and fills them in, with the page each answer came from. You open only the bids worth quoting.
All public work, one price.
Federal, state and local agencies on every plan, including the water districts and small towns that only post on their own website. Construction, maintenance, equipment and supply bids in one list, with a seat for every estimator and rep.
Hear it from the agency.
A capital plan funds a pump station. A board hires an engineer for a plant upgrade. Signals shows you the vote or the line in the plan, with a link to the record, so your rep can reach the engineer while the spec is still being written.

Questions
Can Capveon replace Dodge?
For public work, yes. Dodge also tracks private commercial projects, and Capveon only covers work that government agencies buy. If private jobs are a big part of your pipeline, keep Dodge for those and use Capveon for public work.
How does Capveon's price compare with Dodge?
Capveon is $299, $499 or $999 a month, listed on our pricing page, with unlimited seats and every agency on every plan. Dodge quotes each subscription by territory, users and products, so ask Dodge for a written quote and compare the two.
Does Capveon read drawings, or only the spec?
Both. Reviews reads the specs, the drawings and each addendum, and every value links to the page or sheet it came from. When the documents don't answer a question, the cell says so.
Where does Capveon find bids?
From the agencies themselves: their portals and websites, their meeting records, capital plans and budgets, at the federal, state and local level.
