Searching for Projects

There are many ways to search for a project on the Network, and many different parameters from which to choose.

You may perform an advanced search from the Projects tab (see below), a Quick Search from the Project Dashboard, or search by Dodge Report Number(s). You also have the ability to save and name your searches.

Note: A Saved Search Wizard is available to assist you in building and saving your searches, as well as Dodge Power Tools, which include Trade, Product and Market Search WIzards.

The basic procedure for performing a Project Search is outlined below. For more detailed information on the different aspects of the search procedure, click the appropriate link(s).

You can set search form preferences to customize the search criteria that is displayed on your Project Search Form. > Click here to learn more about setting your search form preferences.



30-Day Spec Searching

The Spec Searching window has been simplified
  • You can now search specs for any project that is either out for bids or has been published during the past month.
  • This replaces the 7-day past the Bid Date rule (or 30 days past the published date for projects with No Set Date or Bidding ASAP).  The rule change more than doubles the number of projects that can be retrieved in a spec search.
