Sourcing Work as a Subbie from Builderscrack vs Subit

Advertising on local Facebook groups and connecting with customers on Builderscrack? If you feel like you’re getting bogged down in admin and you’re still not hitting your targets, it’s time to sign up for Subit!

We’re kind of like a B2B version of Builderscrack – but there are some key differences built-in that will help you streamline your business, slash admin time, and – most importantly – reduce your stress levels while scaling your business.

Subit is B2B

There’s nothing wrong with working with homeowners on smaller projects. But if you could scale up your business, reduce admin time and work with other experienced professionals, why wouldn’t you?

Subit’s focus is B2B – business-to-business – meaning you’ll be connecting directly with professionals to save time, money… and a few headaches.

B2C (business-to-consumer) platforms like Builderscrack can be great if you’re just starting out, you don’t have an existing network, or the money to spend on ads. The major pitfall of B2C work, however – as most trades are quick to point out! – is the added admin time required when working directly with homeowners who simply don’t understand the industry ins and outs.

The Pitfalls of B2C

B2C is not easy work. It means meeting with clients who don’t have plans, spending additional time figuring out the scope of work and explaining options to them, providing quotes, and often a lot of communication back and forth before a quote is even accepted. Add to that the fact that most B2C jobs are usually not already consented, meaning longer lead-in times to get work underway… and some extra hand-holding to help clients navigate the consent process with their local council.

On top of all that is the added stress of managing the expectations of B2C customers. It’s not their fault that they don’t have the prior experience to understand realistic turnaround times and costings – but that lack of experience and knowledge can add hours of admin and additional pressure on a job that may have a limited profit margin.

Streamline with Subit

Subit is a fantastic alternative to platforms such as Builderscrack because our B2B focus ensures our platform is exclusive to builders and subbies. With Subit, you won’t be spending additional time faffing about with unconsented projects. Instead, you’ll be networking directly with other experienced and skilled professionals – streamlining your business processes while gaining access to the jobs or skills you need quickly and efficiently.

Best of all, unlike B2C platforms, which generally offer limited functionality for professionals, Subit is designed to be a two-way street connecting subbies and builders/ developers.

Builders and developers can load projects and watch the quotes roll in – then compare quotes at a glance from within Subit’s simple and intuitive dashboard, without having to jump in and out of emails.

Subbies can receive notifications about jobs in their area, view the project details and plans immediately, and then fire back a quote – all from within Subit. And if you’re a sub-contractor and you’re currently slammed with work, you can ALSO use Subit’s recruitment feature to contract to trusted, peer-reviewed trades.

There really are so many great advantages of using Subit over B2C-focused platforms like Builderscrack – and you’ve got nothing to lose by registering now and taking our network for a test-drive!
