Case Note
Know Before You Bid — Industry Knowledge for Building Construction
Connects Dodge, ConstructConnect, and iSqFt with internal bid context to surface competitor history and pipeline conversationally.
Taskwell connects to the construction intelligence platforms you already use — Dodge, ConstructConnect, iSqFt, and others — and makes them conversational, contextual, and actually useful to your estimating team.
The problem
Most contractors already pay for market intelligence. Dodge Data & Analytics, ConstructConnect, and iSqFt sit at the center of how building contractors track projects, monitor competitors, and find work. The data is powerful; the problem is the interface — logging in, running searches, exporting CSVs, and cross-referencing against your own bid history in a separate system.
A subscription gives access to hundreds of thousands of tracked projects annually, competitor award histories, bid results, plan holder lists, and upcoming opportunity pipelines across public and private commercial construction. But realizing that value takes time your estimators don’t have — time spent inside portals connecting the dots between what those platforms know and what your team knows about your cost structure, capacity, and competitive position.
What Taskwell does
Taskwell doesn’t replace your data subscriptions. Using your company’s own API credentials, it connects directly to your licensed data and surfaces it through a plain-English chat interface, alongside your own bid history and internal context. It unlocks three things:
- Conversational Market Intelligence — ask what you want to know and get a direct answer: competitor award history, pipeline by geography, bid results on specific project types, plan holder lists for upcoming lettings.
- Cross-Referenced Bid Intelligence — reason across your market data and your own cost history and capacity simultaneously to answer questions neither system could alone.
- Opportunity Pipeline Management — monitor your pipeline across connected platforms and surface opportunities matching your project type, geography, size, stage, and timing.
“Who has been winning commercial office construction in the Denver metro over the last two years?” · “Based on recent awards on similar projects in this market, where should I be on concrete for this job?”
How it works
Taskwell connects using credentials scoped to your account — the same way Salesforce or Dynamics 365 integrates with these platforms today.
- You own the data relationship. Your team purchases and manages your subscriptions directly. Taskwell never holds, resells, or warehouses your licensed data.
- Taskwell adds the context layer. Your platforms know the market; Taskwell knows your company. It layers your internal bid history, pipeline, team capacity, and cost data alongside your market subscriptions.
- Simple configuration, fast activation. Connect your platform credentials, define your market preferences and project criteria, and your team is querying in plain English within days — no ETL pipeline, no data migration, no parallel system.
What you get
- More value from your existing data investments — same subscriptions, far faster and more useful access
- Faster go/no-go decisions with market context available in seconds
- Sharper bids that combine competitor pricing signals with your own cost history in a single answer
- Proactive opportunity alerts so your BD team stops missing relevant projects
- Intelligence your whole team can use — estimators, PMs, and BD, without platform-specific training
- A foundation that grows as you connect additional data sources over time
For building contractors in Texas and Colorado, the platforms your team already pays for become something your entire organization can query conversationally, cross-referenced with your own history. You’re already paying for the data. It’s time to actually use it.
