What PlanHub does
PlanHub is a marketplace-style preconstruction network. General contractors can distribute opportunities and reach trades; subcontractors can find work, inspect documents, track bids, and present their companies to buyers in the selected territory.
The free account is useful for receiving and responding to invitations, but serious lead discovery is tied to paid radius-based plans. Before subscribing, a trade contractor should examine live opportunity volume in its actual geography and verify which takeoff and bid-management tools are included.
Pricing visibilityFree
Basic accounts are free. Published Premier pricing is $1,999/year for a 50-mile radius, $2,349 for 100 miles, and $3,299 for 200 miles; Enterprise is quoted. Confirm geography, seats, and included takeoff features.
