PlanHub Premier Feature Spotlight: Out-of-Network Directory
Have you ever needed bid coverage in a trade, but the subs you always go to are booked? Or had to find coverage in a trade where you don’t have any existing subs in your contact list? You don’t have to worry with our Out-of-Network Directory, available only to PlanHub Premium members.
Leverage a network of over thousands subcontractors in over 150+ trades
You probably have an extensive list of subcontractors you’ve worked with before — and PlanHub makes it simple to upload your personal list of subs — you can upload a spreadsheet file or type in emails. Personal lists of subcontractors like these are your In-Network Directory.
PlanHub Premier gives you even more options, with our Out-of-Network Directory of more than thousands of subcontractors spanning over 150+ trades. You can search using convenient filters — like a mileage radius from your project, specific type of trade, whether they’ve completed their profile and qualifications, and more. Then, once you find the subs you are looking for, simply send them an invitation to bid. It’s that simple. This is another way PlanHub Premier helps you expand your network.
Find more jobs. Win more bids. Grow revenue.
