Dodge Data & Analytics and The Blue Book Building & Construction Network are combining their businesses in a merger. Dodge’s owner, Symphony Technology Group, facilitated the transaction.
Dodge and The Blue Book have each successfully served the construction industry for more than 100 years, and their combined expertise and capabilities will give current and prospective customers access to the industry’s leading platform for data insight, market intelligence, firm discovery and networking. The combination will result in the Dodge | Blue Book Construction Industry Database, containing more than 10 billion data elements and comprising the most complete, up-to-date and accurate information about projects, people, firms and products in the industry.
Dodge CEO Daniel McCarthy will lead the combined company and The Blue Book President and General Manager Brian Tonry will continue in his current role. Former Blue Book CEO Richard Johnson will be integral in the combination of the two companies and will serve as a member of the combined company’s Board of Directors.
The Dodge and The Blue Book combination will offer a unified approach for new business generation, business planning, research and marketing services users can leverage to find the best partners to complete projects, and to engage with customers and prospects to promote projects, products and services.
Following the merger, the company headquarters will remain at the Dodge campus in Hamilton, N.J., and The Blue Book headquarters in Jefferson Valley, N.Y., will become a primary office for the company.
