How It Works

An extensive database of commercial projects, structured and ranked.

SpecIndex maintains a continuously growing database of commercial construction projects nationwide, with a source link kept on every project so you can verify it yourself.

  1. 01

    An extensive, growing database

    Commercial projects across all 50 states, built from public permit and announcement records and added continuously as new ones come up.

    Coverage depth varies by market.

  2. 02

    Each project becomes a structured record

    Every project carries the same fields: stage, location, value, square footage, owner, architect, contractor, and what the job will need.

    Each published record keeps a link to the source behind it, so you can check our work.

  3. 03

    You filter down to what you sell

    State, county, stage, project type, and CSI division. A job still in design is a different conversation from one already framed, so the stage sits on every record.

    Public sources only; each published record links to its source.

  4. 04

    You check your brand against it

    Enter your brand and category to see how many projects need what you sell, how many are still early, and how many name a manufacturer at all.

    Spec Check reads a specification you upload, and each finding names the page it came from.

Product category coverage

Count of projects in the SpecIndex index that carry each CSI division, by division. Figures are projects, not documents. Measured once from the SpecIndex project database on ; the index has grown since, so these are a dated snapshot, not a live count.
