LOVED BY TRADIES & BUILDERS ON THE APP STORE
“As a builder, finding good subcontractors quickly and reliably can be a challenge, but Subby Connect has made the process a lot easier. The flow of the app is straightforward, easy to navigate, and doesn't waste your time trying to find what you need. Posting jobs and connecting with trades is simple, and the quality of subcontractors on the platform has been impressive so far. What stands out most is how easy it is to access good trades in one place without spending hours making calls or chasing recommendations. The platform feels well set up for the construction industry and actually understands how builders and subbies work.”
“The app has helped us connect with quality trades quickly and efficiently, and we're winning more work through the platform than we do from our usual networks. The response times have been excellent — often within just a few hours. We've now signed our entire site team up to the app.”
“Brilliant app, got my partner to download it to use for his company, super helpful in finding subbies real quick for various types of work.”
“Great app makes finding good workers easy”

“Got a few jobs from the app and I've only had it for 2 weeks.”
We are Rhett Durrant and Dylan Baker, two sparkies 14 years on the tools. Rhett runs 4 Core Electrical out of Pitt Town in north-west Sydney, Dylan runs Broad Spectrum Electrical on the Central Coast, and we still work across NSW every week.
Subby Connect fills that gap. A builder posts the trade, the suburb and the dates, and it goes straight to trade businesses in that area by app, SMS and in-app alert. Both sides talk direct and invoice each other as they always have — we are not in the money flow, no commission, no lead fees. We still run our own jobs, and everything on here gets tested against one question: would this have saved us the ring-around?
Real numbers, updated live. We're strongest in New South Wales and growing state by state — every count below is a genuine trade business on the network.

Yes, joining is free. You can create a business profile, list your trade, and browse jobs and trade businesses without paying anything. Applying for work and quoting sits behind a paid plan: Contractor Pro is $30 a month and Teams Pro is $50 a month, both in Australian dollars. Posting a job is free.
Businesses enter their ABN when they sign up and we record whether an ABN is on file, whether documents such as insurance certificates have been submitted, and whether the profile is complete. Those three badges describe what a business has supplied, not an endorsement from us. You should still check licences, insurance and references yourself before you put anyone on site.
All of them. Sparkies, chippies, plumbers, plasterers, concreters, tilers, roofers, bricklayers, scaffolders, steel fixers, welders, painters, glaziers, waterproofers, excavation crews, solar installers, shopfitters and more, plus site management roles like foremen, estimators and contracts administrators. If it happens on a construction site, there is a category for it.
Jobs are pushed straight to matching trade businesses in the area by app notification, SMS and in-app alert as soon as they go live, so most posts start getting responses the same day rather than sitting on a board waiting to be found. Response speed depends on how many businesses of that trade work near the site.
No. Subby Connect does not sit in the money flow. There are no lead fees, no commission, and no bidding war where the cheapest price wins. You quote the builder direct, agree your rate, and invoice each other the way you already do.
Every state and territory in Australia. The heaviest use is across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, but jobs and trade listings run in Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory as well.
