How to use the search tools in the Directory to find Subcontractors and Suppliers in PlanHub.
Navigate to the Directory in your PlanHub account.
When in the Networking Directory with Premier or Pro plan access, you have full access to our nationwide network of Subcontractors and Suppliers.
When in the Networking Directory with an Essentials plan access, you can see all your in-network Subcontractors and Suppliers and have limited access to the full PlanHub Directory of Subcontractors and Suppliers.
The Networking Directory allows you to use Search tools to find Subcontractors and Suppliers that are the best fit for your needs.
When performing searches and filtering results you can target user types by clicking on the user type you want in the resulting list: Subcontractors or Suppliers.
Use the Advanced Filters to target and filter results by Trades and subtrades, Certifications, Qualifications, or by location using the State, or the zipcode and distance options.
- Note, when filtering by state or zip code, the resulting list of companies is those that have stated on their profiles that they service the state or area you are filtering by.
You can scroll through the list or you can type in the name of the trade and find the best match. Check off all trades you wish to filter by.
Click outside of a Filter to have the filter apply and update the list of contacts to the right.
You can see how many matching companies were found in the upper left-hand corner.

Even if you add a contact to your in-network list Subcontractors and Suppliers need to register a free account to view any projects on PlanHub.
You can filter your results in the Contact section based on your company's relationship with them inside of PlanHub. The first and default option is "PlanHub Network" (all registered users on PlanHub)
The second is "In-network only (registered)".
This means you have indicated that these companies are in your network and they have registered an account with PlanHub.
The third option is "In-network only (unregistered)". These are the emails that you have asked us to invite to register a free account with PlanHub but they have not yet registered under that email address. When viewing this list, you will be provided with the ability to send out a bulk reminder email to register their email address with/create a PlanHub account
Once registered they will be moved to the "In-network only (registered)" section.
When viewing this list, you will be provided with the ability to send out a bulk reminder email to register their email address with/create a PlanHub account
