Latest twist in Metricon saga: subbies speak out

Subbies and suppliers are backing building giant Metricon, warning speculation about its financial position could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

SUBBIES and suppliers have come out in support of building giant Metricon launching a national advertising campaign in support of the company.

Civic Screens chief executive Stefan Styles said Metricon had never missed a payment and warned speculation about its financial position could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

“They have never done anything wrong,” said Mr Styles, whose factory is based on the Gold Coast. “They alway try and help you if there is a problem and that is rare.”

Mr Styles is joining other Metricon subbies and suppliers including Reece, Carpetcall, Dulux and Laminex placing advertisements in support of the Melbourne-based company.

An email sent to subbies from one supplier Friday states: “we are all key suppliers of Metricon, and right now they need our help to change the public sentiment around their position. I am proud to be part of a supplier led-campaign for Metricon in Melbourne..

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 so our goal is to pressure the Queensland Government to set up a fully funded Police Task Force to investigate and prosecute Construction Industry 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.
