Why Subcontractors Choose TradeSource
A Better Way to Find Work
​
TradeSource Connect is built for subcontractors. We help you find new projects to fill your pipeline. No subscriptions, no lead fees, no pay-to-rank, ever. We don’t sell leads or charge for access. We simply connect great subcontractors with reputable general contractors who need real bids from professionals they can trust. If you want an easy way to get more work when you need it, stay visible to quality contractors, and be part of a network of top subs in your area, TradeSource Connect is built for you.
How It Works
A Fair, Simple System Designed for Your Success
​
​​
-
Once vetted, you’re added to the TradeSource network for your region and trades.
-
When a GC submits a project, you receive invitations only for jobs that match your trade and location.
-
You choose whether to bid — no pressure and no penalties for passing.
-
If the GC accepts your bid, you work with them directly — simple, clear, professional.
-
No charge to bid on projects. No lead fees.
