GUIDES AND ANSWERS
Straight answers about finding subcontractor work, hiring subbies, running trade packages and organising construction teams across Australia.
How tradies and subcontractors use SubbieSpace to find construction work, apply for Crew Calls and build a profile companies can trust.
Most subcontract work still comes through relationships with trade companies and builders. SubbieSpace gives you a place to be found by them. Create a free subbie account, set up your Work Passport with your trade, experience, tickets and availability, then browse Crew Calls that match your trade and location. When a company posts a Crew Call that suits you, apply in a few taps and keep every application in one place.
A Crew Call is a job post from a trade company that needs extra hands. It lists the trade, the type of work, the location, start dates and how many people are needed. Subbies apply directly, and the company reviews, shortlists and messages applicants inside SubbieSpace.
Your Work Passport is your professional trade profile. It brings your trade, skills, experience, licences, tickets and availability together so companies can quickly see whether you suit a job. A clear, complete Work Passport makes it easier for a company to say yes.
Yes. Subbie accounts are free. You can create your Work Passport, discover work and apply for Crew Calls without a subscription.
List everything a company would check before putting you on site. For most construction work that starts with your general construction induction card (White Card). Add your trade licence or contractor licence where your state or territory requires one, plus any high risk work licences and other tickets you hold. Always check current requirements with the licensing regulator in your state or territory.
How trade companies find subcontractors, recruit tradies and build a reliable crew without a pile of phone calls.
Publish a Crew Call describing the trade, the work, the site location and your start dates. Subbies with a matching trade can apply with their availability. You review each applicant’s Work Passport, shortlist the best fits, message them and hire, all from one recruitment pipeline.
Look at trade experience on similar work, the tickets and licences the job needs, availability for your dates and how clearly they communicate. SubbieSpace keeps applicants for each Crew Call together so you can review and shortlist side by side instead of digging through texts and emails.
Yes. Save the individual subbies you rate, then invite them back to future Crew Calls. Building a bench of reliable people you already trust is one of the fastest ways to crew up a new job.
Companies can start on the free Starter plan, which covers a company profile, Crew Calls, applications, shortlisting, messaging and hiring. Paid plans add more workforce-management tools. See the plans section on this page for current details.
How builders package trade work, collect subcontractor bids and carry awarded work into delivery.
A trade package is a defined scope of work on a building project, such as framing, electrical rough-in or waterproofing, that a builder sends out for pricing. Each package sets out what is included, the requirements and when bids are due.
Builders create a project in the Tender Hub, add trade packages and invite subcontractors or trade companies to bid. Bidders submit their tenders, ask clarification questions and respond to requirements. The builder reviews, shortlists and compares submissions, then awards the package.
Compare more than the price. Check that each bid covers the same scope, note any exclusions, confirm the bidder meets your licence and insurance requirements, and make sure open clarifications are resolved before you award. Keeping bids, questions and decisions in one place leaves a clear record of why the work was awarded.
Awarded work can move into a Project Workspace, where the builder and the awarded trade coordinate tasks, schedules, notices and updates for that job.
How construction businesses organise jobs, workers, tasks and site records in shared Project Workspaces.
A Project Workspace is the shared home for one job. It holds the job details, tasks, schedule, notices, site hours, updates, files, the team and a timeline. Everyone assigned to the job sees what they need, and access follows each person’s role.
Add the job, assign your team and set tasks with dates. The schedule shows who is working on what and when, and workers see their own assigned jobs and tasks on their phone. Post notices and updates in the Workspace so changes reach the right people.
Project Workspaces include site attendance and timesheet records, and supervisors can review submitted timesheets. SubbieSpace is not payroll, invoicing or accounting software, so you keep using your existing systems for pay and invoices.
Yes. Team members join through invitations and get access that matches their role and assigned Workspaces, so people see their own jobs without access to everything else in the business.
SubbieSpace works anywhere in Australia. Subbies set their suburb and how far they will travel, Crew Calls carry the site location, and work search filters by distance, so local trades and local jobs can find each other.
Australia’s largest construction market, from inner-city apartments and commercial fit-outs to new housing and infrastructure across Western Sydney. Sydney trade companies can post Crew Calls for a specific site, and subcontractors can show the suburbs they cover.

Set your suburb and how far you are willing to travel in your Work Passport, then search for work by distance. Crew Calls show the site location, so you can focus on jobs close to home or widen your radius when you want more options.
No. SubbieSpace is available Australia-wide, including Sydney, Newcastle, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and regional areas such as the Hunter, the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie.
