CMD Group, formerly Reed Construction Data, is a provider of business information for the North American construction industry. CMD is owned by Warburg Pincus (51%) and Reed Business Information (49%). Construction Market Data was founded in 1982. In 2000, London-based Reed Elsevier purchased the original CMD Group, transitioning the company to Reed Construction Data. And in October 2014 Reed Construction Data changed its name to CMD. The Norcross, Ga.-based provider of North American construction data said the new name is a nod to the company’s original name: Construction Market Data. The new brand includes an updated logo and website.

There is also a Reed Construction Data business based in Australia with offices in Sydney (head office), Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. It was renamed to Cordell Information in July 1, 2010 and still owned by Reed Elsevier. There are three divisions to the Australian business, Cordell Costing Solutions, Cordell Construction Projects and the Cordell Tenders Online division. With the use of computer-aided design, Reed essentially brokers blueprints to contractors who are active in commercial construction. They compile their published information through a variety of means, initially with reporters but more recently the bulk of its information is acquired by web-crawlers and relationships with certain architects and general contractors.
