New Look Sub-Sight Launched to Main-Contractors

Posted by admin in Main Contractor, Principal contractor, Sub-Sight on March 20, 2010

Sub-Sight, the UK’s first truly focused online directory of construction sub-contracting companies has been relaunched this week, with a fantastic new look.

But the re-skin of the site is just the tip of the iceberg and belies the real magic of a website which has already connected many sub-contracters with vital business contacts at main contracting and development companies.

The concept is simple. You are a Construction Manager, Construction Director, Quantity Surveyor, Contracts Manager or Project Manager at a main contracting company. You are working on a construction project outside of your normal geographical area. Or you may be experiencing difficulties with the sub-contractors you would usually bring in to take charge of a part of your project. You need to find new subbies for the project. Quickly.

This is exactly what Sub-Sight will deliver for you.

Simply:

  1. Choose a County that your project is in
  2. Choose a Sector, or type of subcontractor
  3. Tick the Size of Contract that the subcontractor package is worth
  4. Press Search

It really is as simple as that.

Your search results will appear as an accurate list of exactly the type of contractors you are looking for. (See below)

Sub-Sight provides accurate search results

Then feel free to look search through the companies on your search results. Once you have found one that you feel would suit your requirements, you can contact them with details of a project and invite them to contact you.

Add to that, our partnership with RiskDisk, one of the nation’s leading credit reference organisations, and you have a complete package whereby you can search for,  source and reference prospective sub-contractors before working with them. This lessens your risks and, by choosing sub-contractors local to your project, you can help to reduce the carbon footprint of the project.

Bedfordshire Construction Firm Confirmed As Warwickshire City Academy Main Contractor

Posted by admin in Bedfordshire, Main Contractor, Principal contractor, Warwickshire on July 3, 2009

Bedfordshire-based construction firm Kier have been selected to build the replacement for the Sidney Stringer Community Technology College in Coventry, Warwickshire.

Kier beat rival construction company Laing O’Rourke in securing the project which will see a new city academy built on Primrose Hill Street, Hillfields in the city.

The decision is expected to be rubber-stamped early next week and, if the project is accepted by the academy’s sponsors, a planning application will go in during July with work expected to start in Autumn/ Winter 2009. The academy is expected to be ready for students in September 2011.

The offices currently housing Coventry City Council’s Neighbourhood Management team will be demolished to make way for the new building.

The sponsors of the academy being built to replace Sidney Stringer will be City College Coventry, Coventry University, Coventry City Council and luxury car maker Jaguar.
