Good subs, lined up.
Subline connects Austin builders and remodelers with vetted local trades. Tell us what you need on a project, and we come back with two or three solid options who have time for it.
One connection, two sides of the job
For builders
Free for builders, always.
- Tell us the project, the trade and the timing.
- Get two or three vetted options, usually within a few days.
- We set up the call or site visit, so there's no chasing.
For trades
Real projects from builders, not shared leads.
- Every project is confirmed with the builder before it reaches you.
- You're one of a few, not one of twenty bidding on the same lead.
- We introduce you directly to the person who decides.
How a match happens
We confirm the job
A short call with the builder: scope, timeline, what they need from the sub, and who makes the call.
We pick the trades
Two or three local businesses that fit the job and have capacity, with their license and references checked.
You meet
We set up a call or site visit between the builder and the trade they choose, then check in afterwards.
What we check before recommending anyone
License
Where Texas requires one, such as electrical work, we verify it's active with the state.
References
Builders and general contractors they've worked with recently, and what those builders say about them. Strong recent customer reviews on top.
The right kind of work
New construction and remodels for builders, not only one-off service calls.
Reliability
How quickly they respond and whether they show up. A sub who misses a meeting doesn't get another one.
Who's behind Subline
Subline is run by Franz Wolfeneck. I've spent my career in software and project management and lived in the US for many years. Finding a good sub who actually has time still mostly comes down to who you happen to know. Subline is my way of changing that for Austin builders, one good match at a time.
Subline is a small, hands-on operation. I talk to every builder and every trade myself, and I only recommend people I'd be comfortable vouching for.
