Dodge Data to Combine with Blue Book Building & Construction

Two of the construction industry’s oldest and most venerated data sources have agreed to merge. Dodge Data & Analytics, headquartered in Hamilton, NJ, and The Blue Book Building & Construction Network, based in Jefferson Valley, NY, will combine their businesses. Dodge’s owner, private equity firm Symphony Technology Group (STG), facilitated the transaction.

“Combining The Blue Book with our existing portfolio company Dodge, the market leader in construction project information, allows us to create an indispensable resource for every firm on a local, regional or national level seeking information, connections and unique insights to create new relationships and to grow their business,” said STG managing partner William Chisholm.

Dodge CEO Daniel McCarthy will lead the combined company and Blue Book president and general manager Brian Tonry will continue in his current role. Former Blue Book CEO Richard Johnson will serve as a member of the combined company’s board of directors.
