“Sweets has been the construction industry’s mainstay building product resource for more than a century,” said Mike Petrullo, Chief Executive Officer, Dodge Data & Analytics. “Since the very beginning, we have aspired to create a comprehensive, efficiency-enhancing product database that provides industry-leading value to the design and build-community. Surpassing the 100,000-product threshold, and having 96% of Architectural Record’s top 300 design firms registered, is proof that Sweets is fulfilling its promise.”

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.
