Social Network for Contractors — Show Work, Find Subs, Win Jobs

WorkFotos operates like a purpose-built construction social network for general contractors, subcontractors, and service pros. Profiles center on real proof—project photos, scopes, and tags—so teams can find subcontractors, build local contractor networks, source referrals, and turn introductions into paid work.

Why a contractor social network helps the work get done

Word-of-mouth still wins, but it’s slow and scattered across texts. A focused community that looks like a living subcontractor directory saves time for superintendents, project managers, and owners’ reps. With WorkFotos, a GC can scan photo portfolios, check scope notes, and message subs by trade, service area, union/non-union, residential or commercial. Subs get found for the right projects and build steady pipelines without chasing every bid board in town.

Outcome: better matches, faster trust, and more qualified invites to bid.

Who it’s for

General Contractors & Builders

Source subcontractors by trade and location, review credible before/after photos, and send RFQs/RFPs with confidence.

  • Prequal at a glance with scope tags and project types
  • Track local contractors and backup crews for upcoming work

Subcontractors & Specialty Trades

Show proven work in concrete, framing, drywall, paint, roofing, flooring, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, masonry, tile, glass, steel, landscaping, and more.

  • Connect with GCs, developers, and property managers
  • Turn portfolio traffic into job leads and referrals

Service Pros & Facility Teams

Ideal for maintenance, repairs, and tenant improvements. Share routine PM work and closeout sets so managers can evaluate quality quickly.

  • Find reliable partners across trades and service areas
  • Keep jobsite documentation and messaging in one place

How buyers actually find crews and subs

When a builder needs help, search terms look practical: “find subcontractors near me,” “drywall sub available,” or “concrete crew for tilt-up.” Many PMs prefer a focused construction networking app—not a generic social site—so they can browse a contractor network with real portfolios. Profiles on WorkFotos are optimized for that kind of intent: projects are tagged by trade, city, and scope, making it easier to surface when decision-makers are hiring.

Because portfolios are built on proof—progress photos, scope notes, and closeout shots—teams evaluating bidders get context that drives faster decisions. The result is a feed that feels like a practical blue-collar social network where introductions, contractor referrals, and shortlists grow from the work itself, not from noise.

Tip: tag projects by discipline, market (residential/commercial/civil), and service radius. Clear tags help the right searches land on the right crews.
