Subcontractor software: is SubbieSure right for your team?
A practical guide to SubbieSure for Australian construction subcontractors: what it does, how active-user pricing works and what to check before choosing a platform.
What is SubbieSure and who is it for?
SubbieSure is construction management software for Australian subcontractors. It combines operations, workforce management, safety, compliance and project records so office staff and site teams can work from the same information.
What can subcontractors manage in SubbieSure?
The platform includes projects, employee onboarding, licences, inductions, scheduling, timesheets, equipment, documents and site forms. Safety workflows include digital Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), prestarts, toolbox talks, incidents, hazards and digital sign-off.
Does SubbieSure work on phones and offline?
SubbieSure is available on the web and through iOS and Android apps. The mobile apps include offline mode and sync when a connection is available again. Ask for a demonstration of your specific site workflow before deciding whether it fits your team.
How much does SubbieSure cost?
Pricing is in Australian dollars and excludes GST: the first 100 active users cost $25 each per month, users 101–200 cost $20 each per month, and each user above 200 costs $15 per month. These are progressive tiers, not a single rate applied to the whole team. Onboarding is included and a free one-month trial is available.
What would a 150-user team pay?
A team with 150 active users would pay AUD $3,500 per month excluding GST: 100 × $25 plus 50 × $20. Use the pricing calculator for other team sizes and confirm current terms with SubbieSure.
Is SubbieSure only a SWMS app or timesheet tool?
No. Digital SWMS and timesheets are part of a broader platform that also connects people, projects, scheduling, safety and site documents. A business looking only for a standalone form or timesheet tool should compare its needs with the full platform.
Does using software guarantee safety compliance?
No. Software helps manage records and workflows; it does not replace competent supervision, site-specific risk assessments, consultation or your legal duties. Check that your SWMS and safety processes meet the requirements for the work and jurisdiction.
How should a subcontractor evaluate the platform?
Bring a real project workflow to a demo: onboard a worker, check licences, schedule a shift, complete a timesheet and sign a site safety form. Test mobile and offline behaviour in conditions relevant to your team, review pricing and discuss any required integrations rather than assuming they are available.
