Predator Credits

CREDITS

First off I must tip my hat and take the time to thank two of these callous predatory builders, so far, after over 40 years in the building industry, the only two who have personally touched me but as we all know, there are any number of them out there and no matter what precautions subbies take, no matter how careful you are in choosing the builders you work for they will eventually find a victim, it is inevitable.

These two people have inadvertently done a great service to all subcontractors Australia wide by prolifically using the legal system to the extent of its limit’s, they are two of the companies whose regular use of the system is documented and “featured” in our LITIGATIONS section.

After a brief celebration I put the first bad experience out of my mind as quickly as I could, all thoughts of retribution forgotten, back to my busy life but when you do hundreds of jobs each year it was inevitable that another predator would eventually find us.

They have done all subcontractors a favour because they have driven me to the point where I had to do something so that others need not wear the same costs, effort, angst and despair that I did.

I feel very strongly about it because I detest injustice, we work hard for our money, we foster good relationships with our customers, other than the two predators there are no loose ends.

These cretins are everything I despise about the industry I have worked in for most of my life, they are a dangerous minority but they are out there biding their time, waiting for their next target.

They do irreparable damage to the Building Industry, this minority must be exposed and stopped.

ABOUT US

SubbiesUnited is not “anti builder”, we support strong builders.
We are “anti theft” of hard working subbies money.

It’s not just about the builders who go broke, businesses all over Australia Liquidate every day for a variety of reasons.

It’s about the ones that engage in calculated criminal behaviour such as providing false information to the regulators or inducing subbies to work on a site when they know they cannot or are not going to pay them because of a fraudulent scheme. Its about the participation of the banks, pre insolvency advisors and builder appointed Liquidators to fraudulently defeat creditors.

Liquidators should always be appointed by creditors to ensure a thorough investigation takes place.

We want the rogues investigated and prosecuted for fraud. 


  • SubbiesUnited was created to provide subbies with collaborative information on building companies that are showing signs of insolvency or struggling to pay their creditors. The signs are always there, we just need to get the message to each other before it happens.
  • We provide subbies with up to date news on builders in Administration or Liquidation and the best strategies to get a return.
  • There are some extremely litigious builders out there who would rather sue you than pay you. Often they sue you so they don’t have to pay you. We will expose them.
  • The construction industry is renowned for building companies setting up illegal Phoenix operations, shifting assets, then liquidating sending subbies broke. We work with other subcontractor & supplier organisations & Governments to stop what amounts to legalised theft on a massive scale though pre packaged liquidations. Insolvency is used as a means to defraud Subbies.
  • Our aim is to limit the financial damage before it happens with our “members only forum”, an early warning system for the benefit of all our members.
