About Subbies

Subbies exists to close the trade gap — that moment when a builder needs a reliable subcontractor and ends up ringing around, chasing dead leads, or taking a punt on someone they have never worked with. We are a New Zealand marketplace that connects residential and SME builders with subcontractors they can trust. Builders search by trade and region, check ratings left by other builders, and make contact directly — no middleman, and no fees on the work you win. Reputation is the heart of it. Every job builds your rating, and the subbies a builder rates highly rise to the top of search. Builders are rated too, so everyone knows who they are dealing with before the job starts. We are launching in Auckland and growing across New Zealand. During our launch phase, listing is free while we build the network — early members lock in their profile and rating before paid membership tiers arrive.
