For subcontractors

Get asked about jobs that fit.

General contractors come to HatBench when they need a sub in a specific trade and area. If you've opted in and the job fits, we call you first. You decide whether we introduce you.

How it works for subs

1

You opt in

Pick the counties you work in and what you're willing to share.

2

A GC asks

A general contractor requests a sub in your trade and area.

3

We ask you

We check that you're interested and have room before anything is shared.

4

You get the intro

We connect you with the GC. You bid and work it out directly.

Nothing is public

There's no HatBench directory to browse. A GC only sees your business when it matches a job they asked about, and only after you've opted in.

What they see is the facts: your CSLB license status, and the dates your general liability and workers' comp run through. Your phone or email only shows if you choose to share it. You can turn HatBench off at any time and GCs stop seeing you right away.
