Providers and trades
People and crews who do the physical work - builders, finishers, plumbers, electricians, cleaners, gardeners, technical professionals and signage crews.
// Four kinds of record
One list, and it is not only tradespeople
A yard, a machine and a truck are not the same thing as a plumber, so the list keeps them apart and lets you look at one kind at a time.
Suppliers and merchants
Yards, counters and merchants who hold stock and deliver it - cement, blocks, timber, roofing, plumbing, electrical, finishes and hardware.
Equipment and plant
Machines for hire, with an operator or dry - excavators, scaffolding, generators, compactors, mixers and lifting equipment.
Transport and haulage
Trucks and loads - tippers, delivery and haulage, skips and waste removal, site clearance and cross-border runs.
These are example listings. They show the shape of a record - the trade, the city, the capacity, how it prices and how far it travels. Real providers appear as they come through the confirmation gate, and the list grows city by city rather than all at once.
// Reading a listing
What a listing tells you, and what it does not
| State | What magraft is claiming |
|---|---|
| Post not confirmed | Nothing has been checked. The listing is published and nothing more is claimed. |
| Submission confirmed | A working email completed the confirmation gate. It proves an inbox, not a trade. |
| Listed | Identity, contact and service area checked by a person, and publication approved. |
| magraft Verified | The deeper category check was done by a named operator. It carries a date and it expires. |
A provider state is about the provider. It says nothing about who carries responsibility for a particular job - that is the job state, and it is set when the work is agreed. Both ladders are set out in full here.
