Take the challenge.

Reed Construction Data stands behind its data and products. When it comes to your business, don’t rely on vague and inaccurate reports — make a true comparison.

We have seen data comparisons from one of our competitors circulating in the market that inaccurately represent Reed Construction Data’s project information. We want to ensure that you have reliable and accurate information in order to make informed decisions about your business.

  • We do not provide our data to research firms.
    Reed does not offer its data to companies to provide competitive analyses. Be cautious of misleading comparisons purporting to be true — recent reports were 90% inaccurate in evaluating the projects available from Reed Construction Data.
  • Apples to apples.
    When comparing data, shouldn’t residential projects be counted separately? Reed is focused on nonresidential and civil projects and does not include single-family residential projects in our data counts.
  • What’s counted and what’s not.
    Reed does not include supply or maintenance contracts in its project counts. Sure, it would make our numbers higher, but we focus on what we believe are the most valuable projects for our customers.
  • Comparisons should be open, clear and objective.
    Would you want your competitors comparing your products to theirs without an opportunity to tell your side of the story? Reed will help you make an assessment of the actual data and let you decide where the truth lies.
