A BCI Central alternative. Construction project data, inside HubSpot.
GrowthNGen is built on Cotality — the construction project intelligence platform behind Cordell Connect. We pipe AU/NZ commercial project data straight into HubSpot, with architects, builders and developers already linked. Same kind of project intelligence BCI Central (now part of Hubexo) gives you (tender pipeline, stages, key dates) — delivered inside the CRM your reps already use. No second platform, no CSV exports.
The BCI Central routine
Your project feed and your pipeline never actually meet.
Two systems, and a person in between doing the joining.
Then again next week, because the feed moved on.
BCI Central or GrowthNGen — same job, different home.
Both surface AU/NZ commercial construction project intelligence. BCI keeps its data inside the BCI Central app — your reps log in, search, export, and paste into HubSpot. GrowthNGen uses Cotality (the construction project intelligence behind Cordell Connect) and pipes the data directly into HubSpot, with architects, builders and developers already linked. Your reps stop bouncing between platforms.
No more CSV exports
Set your search profile once. Matching projects flow into HubSpot every business day on Pro and Elite — no copy-paste, no CSV exports, no separate login.
Architects and builders pre-linked
Every project arrives with the right stakeholders already attached. No more hunting on LinkedIn for who to ring.
One place your reps work
Your reps stop working inside a separate project database. The projects arrive in HubSpot instead — one place to look.
What your team stops doing
Project intelligence is necessary. Manually moving it between two systems is not.
CSV exports
No more weekly export rituals. Matching projects appear in HubSpot the day they hit the database.
Stakeholder hunting
Architect, builder, engineer, developer — already attached to every project. Contacts are in your CRM by the time you open the deal.
Daily database check-ins
Contract Let, builder changed, stage shifted — reps get pinged when a project becomes actionable. No daily logins to spot it.
Regional spreadsheets
One feed, every state. National pipeline visible in HubSpot. No more stitching Sydney's list together with Brisbane's.
Head-to-head
BCI Central vs. GrowthNGen
Two platforms covering AU/NZ commercial construction projects. One lives in its own app. The other lives in your HubSpot.
| Capability | BCI Central | GrowthNGen |
|---|---|---|
| AU/NZ commercial project intelligence | BCI's own dataset | Cotality dataset — the source Cordell Connect is built on |
| Architects, builders and developers attached to each project | Visible in BCI project record | Linked as HubSpot Companies and Contacts |
| Where the data lives | Inside the BCI Central web app — separate login | Inside your HubSpot pipeline — no second tool |
| Projects flow into your CRM automatically | Manual CSV export every week | Auto — daily sync on Pro and Elite. Manual push on On Demand |
| Project stage changes update your HubSpot deals | Manual check-ins required | DA approved, Contract Let, builder changed — flows through |
| One system for your sales team to work in | Reps live in HubSpot AND log into BCI daily | HubSpot only — pipeline is current when they log in |
| CSV exports needed to update your CRM | Rep hours every week on data entry | Eliminated entirely |
| Bulk sync of historical pipeline at go-live | Manual rebuild from spreadsheets | One-time backfill, de-duped against existing HubSpot records |
| Notifications when a project becomes actionable | Spotted by whoever logs into BCI that day | Pushed to the rep on the deal — Contract Let, builder changed, stage shifted |
| Subscription model | BCI Central licence | GrowthNGen — reps work in HubSpot, not a separate project database |
How it works
Three steps. Live in under two weeks. Your reps stop logging into a separate project database.
We map your HubSpot
Deal stages, pipeline, contact properties — we use what you already have. No rebuild required.
We set up your Cotality search profile
Region, project type, stage, value range, stakeholder role — your team's actual targeting criteria. We backfill against your existing pipeline so you start clean.
Projects start landing in HubSpot
Matching projects show up in your CRM with architects and builders attached. Stage updates flow through automatically. No more CSV exports, no copy-paste, no logging into a separate platform.
“GrowthNGen has become our unfair advantage. It's removed the bottleneck of manual data work. We can now search at the organisational level and surface the right opportunities effortlessly into our CRM, and at scale. The results have been immediate. A stronger pipeline, higher conversions, and project wins that have already paid for years of use.”

FAQ
Questions from teams comparing BCI Central and GrowthNGen
The things BD and commercial leaders ask when looking at switching.
Do I need to keep my BCI Central subscription if I switch to GrowthNGen?
GrowthNGen is built on Cotality — the project intelligence behind Cordell Connect — and pipes that data straight into HubSpot. You'd hold a Cotality API licence rather than a BCI one, and your reps would work in HubSpot instead of a separate database. Worth a conversation about which source covers your patch before you change anything.
We're on Hubexo — does this apply to us?
Yes. BCI Central is part of Hubexo, so everything on this page applies to Hubexo users in Australia and New Zealand. GrowthNGen pipes Cotality project data into HubSpot through your own Cotality API licence, and your reps work in HubSpot instead of a separate database. Worth a conversation about which source covers your patch before you change anything.
How does Cotality data compare to BCI Central's?
Both cover AU/NZ commercial construction comprehensively. Cotality (the source behind Cordell Connect) is a widely used AU/NZ project intelligence dataset; BCI Central has its own coverage with strong tender-pipeline focus. Coverage overlaps heavily — the practical difference is platform experience and CRM integration. Worth a 15-min call to compare what each shows you in your patch.
What about my BCI search profile and historical pipeline?
We set up your GrowthNGen search profile based on what you target today — region, project type, stage, value, stakeholder role — so the matching projects you currently get in BCI flow through to HubSpot. We run a one-time backfill against your existing pipeline so you start with a clean, current HubSpot view from day one.
We'd rather keep BCI — can you work with it instead?
Possibly, down the track. If you'd rather keep your BCI licence than switch data sources, we're taking register-interest for a BCI → CRM connector — the same engine, mapped to BCI's data under your own subscription. Register interest in the BCI connector.
How is this different from logging into a project database on its own?
GrowthNGen is built on Cotality — the construction project intelligence platform behind Cordell Connect. Instead of your reps logging into a separate platform, searching, exporting CSV and copy-pasting into the CRM, the data flows into your CRM automatically with architects, builders and developers already linked. You hold a Cotality API licence for the data (a Cordell Connect seat is optional), and your team works in the CRM instead. Your reps open their CRM and the pipeline is current.
Will it mess with our existing HubSpot setup?
No. We map into your existing pipeline, deal stages and contact properties. If something needs a tweak — a custom property, a new stage — we handle it during onboarding. Your HubSpot doesn't need to change to go live.
