The problem

Your job lives in five places

None of them talk to each other, so the same job gets typed again and again.

  1. 01

    Own inboxes

    Tenders and follow-ups sit in each person's own inbox.

  2. 02

    Excel

    Pricing is in a sheet, often one person's sheet.

  3. 03

    A job list

    Won jobs are kept in another list.

  4. 04

    The schedule

    The programme lives somewhere else again.

  5. 05

    Claims

    And the progress claims somewhere else.

What that costs

Re-typing
The same job typed three or four times, by different people.
Searching
Hours every week finding an email, a number or the latest version.
Quotes going quiet
A quote nobody followed up. A reply in the inbox of someone on leave.
No overview
Nobody can say in a minute which tenders are out, which are waiting, and who owns each one.

One facade job, end to end, in 90 seconds

A tender forwarded in, priced on your own rates, sent and followed up, won — then run: orders, claims, factory stock and panel drawings, with AI doing the typing.

A builder in hi-vis and a hard hat on site, his inbox, pricing spreadsheet, jobs list, schedule and claims open in separate windows around him — the five places a facade job lives before Subino.

One job, end to end

Enter the job once. It flows through every step.

A tender arrives, you price it, send it, chase it, win it and run it. It is one job in one system the whole way, so nothing gets typed twice.

  1. 01Tender in

    Forward the email. The job fills itself in.

    Forward the tender email to your Subino address. Subino reads it and starts a new job with the builder, the contact, the deadline and the documents already in.

    • Builder and contact from the email
    • Deadline picked up for you
    • Tender documents attached to the job
    See tender intake
  2. 02Price it

    Your templates, your formulas, your crew rates.

    The cost sheet runs on your own scope templates and formulas, with crew types at a rate per hour, day or week. Set them up once, check them every few weeks, and use them on every job.

    • Scope templates in your own cost codes
    • Formulas follow the area — change it and every line follows
    • Crew types at a rate per hour, day or week
    See the cost sheet
  3. 03Send and chase

    Quote from the job. Replies stay on the job.

    Send the quote from the job, and the email and the replies stay on the job, not in someone's inbox. Each follow-up can carry a next step, a person and a date, and becomes a task.

    • Replies stay on the job for the whole office to see
    • A follow-up with a next step becomes a task
    • The pipeline shows what has gone quiet, oldest first
    See the pipeline
  4. 04Win it, don't re-type it

    The estimate becomes the job.

    Win the job and the estimate becomes the budget, the purchase order cost codes, the schedule (built from your install durations) and the claim schedule. Nobody types it again.

    • Budget straight from the winning revision
    • Purchase order cost codes already set
    • Schedule built from install durations
    • Claim schedule ready to go
    See what winning a job does
  5. 05Run it

    Then the job runs in the same place.

    The same job carries on through the site and the office, so what the crew and the office do lands on the job it belongs to.

    • Purchase orders, and bills emailed in
    • Variations and progress claims
    • Crew clock-on and daily logs
    • Drawing approval
    See running the job

Why not the big platforms

You’ve got the software. And the spreadsheet beside it.

Procore and Buildertrend are good software — for head contractors. As a subbie you can set up your own jobs and your own cost codes in them, and that part works fine.

But the subbie’s half — pricing off your own rates, committed cost by code, progress claims, forecast margin — usually ends up in an Excel template beside them anyway, squared up by hand every week.

One system. No spreadsheet on the side.

Procore · Buildertrend

Software, plus your spreadsheet

  • Your own jobs and cost codes — that part works
  • The estimating and claim detail still lives in Excel
  • Two places to keep in step, reconciled by hand

Subino

Just the software

  • Priced off your own rates, in your own cost codes
  • Committed cost, claims and forecast margin built in
  • Panel drawings and factory stock, for the cladding part of the job

Why Subino

Built for facade subbies, by a facade estimator

  • Only for facade subbies

    Built only for facade and cladding subcontractors, by a facade estimator. The big platforms are built for builders, and mostly overseas.

  • Help library and short videos

    A help library and short tutorial videos, by section and by role, so the office and the crew each learn what they use.

  • Talk to the maker

    You talk to the person who builds it. Need a feature, or something isn't working? We sit down and find the best fix together. There is no ticket queue.

Straight answers

The things worth knowing before you book

Does it connect to Gmail or Outlook?
No, it doesn't plug into your inbox. You forward tenders in, you send from Subino, and the replies come back to the job.
What about Xero?
The Xero connection is built and in testing. We'll show you once it's proven on a live job.
What happens to the jobs I already have?
Start with new tenders. Your old jobs stay where they are.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. Your data exports to Excel.
