Dodge Data & Analytics’ Sweets Reaches 100K Building Product Listing Milestone

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Sweets, Dodge Data & Analytics’ interactive building product database (http://sweets.construction.com/), now provides free access to updated metadata on over 100,000 products for AEC professionals researching, comparing, selecting, specifying and installing commercial products. Building on Sweets’ 100-year-old commitment to architecture, engineering and construction professionals, Sweets now offers the most comprehensive building product information resource in the industry, accessible online and via its workflow integration solutions—Sweets apps for Autodesk’s Revit and AutoCAD.

With a registered user base of over 300,000, Sweets has the most up-to-date product metadata representing such brands as Allegion, Nystrom, Sloan, Armstrong and CertainTeed. Architects, designers, engineers, contractors and owners have free access to extensive product specifications, including CAD details, BIM content, warranties, catalogs, installation guides and more, making it the definitive search and comparison tool for building products.

The Sweets apps for Revit and AutoCAD allow professionals to search, select and incorporate product information directly into their designs. Sweets for AutoCAD supports 2-D design projects and is available to over 1.5 million AutoCAD users worldwide.

To further the exchange of information, ideas and content among architects, general contractors, subcontractors and building product manufacturers, Sweets has created a LinkedIn page, providing an active forum for the construction industry.

Sweets is also introducing the Sweets College Scholarship, supporting students on their path toward a professional career in architecture, engineering, design or construction, and helping to offset the increasing cost of tuition. The Scholarship will award $2,500 to a student each academic year. To apply, students are asked to produce a short video, describing their favorite building on campus from a design perspective and, for bonus points, to name building products that stand out in the design.
