Uniting the Construction Industry: Join the Movement that Supports Small Businesses

Due to the historic focus on infrastructure and the federal funding through the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act the construction industry is uniquely positioned to leverage these projects to develop ongoing economic growth for small businesses in our communities. While this has been a goal for many projects, now is the time for the industry to meet the moment with an unprecedented commitment to deliver on the promise.

Recognizing the Current Shortcomings

Let's face it – the traditional support mechanisms for small subcontractors are falling short of the mark. Despite their key contributions, these subcontractors face systemic barriers that hinder their ability to compete and thrive in the industry. It's clear that the status quo is no longer tenable, and it's imperative for all industry stakeholders to chart a new course forward or face growing pressure from government funders and community members who expect (and deserve) more action and less status quo.

TradesNetwork: The Catalyst for Change

We developed TradesNetwork as an industry wide initiative that rethinks how the construction industry supports small businesses to develop more qualified companies and how to connect them to contract opportunities.

Our platform serves as a catalyst for change, providing a collaborative space where all stakeholders in the construction industry can come together to forge partnerships, share knowledge, and drive progress.

At TradesNetwork, we believe that true innovation stems from collaboration. By joining forces, the industry can unlock new opportunities, foster creativity, and achieve greater collective impact.

Empowering Small Subcontractors, Empowering Us All

The success of small subcontractors is not just their own – it's a reflection of our industry as a whole. When we lift up small subcontractors, we elevate the entire construction community and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.

TradesNetwork empowers small subcontractors to thrive by providing them with the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. But our vision extends far beyond just subcontractors – it encompasses all stakeholders in the construction ecosystem.

By coming together on TradesNetwork, we can amplify our impact, drive meaningful change, and create a more resilient and sustainable industry for generations to come.

Together, we can break down barriers, challenge the status quo, and build a brighter future for our industry and our communities.
