Use AI to draft a professional subcontractor recommendation letter that helps your reliable subs win future work.
When a subcontractor does great work for you, a solid recommendation letter helps them land their next job — and keeps them happy to work with you again. But writing these from scratch takes time you don't have. AI can draft a professional, personalized recommendation in under two minutes based on just a few details you provide. Just tell the AI who the sub is, what trade they worked in, what project they completed, and one or two strengths you noticed (quality, reliability, safety record, communication). It'll generate a polished letter you can tweak and send. This keeps your network strong and shows you value the people who help you deliver projects on time. You can use this for references requested by other GCs, for subs applying to get on bid lists, or even as a LinkedIn recommendation. It's a small gesture that builds serious goodwill — and AI makes it fast enough that you'll actually do it.
