Build and Renovate
Structure, walls, roofs, floors and slabs - from a boundary wall to a whole house.
// The catalogue
What sits inside each pillar
Every pillar carries the trades and businesses listed under it, and each one says how that work is normally bought.
Interiors and Finishing
What turns a structure into a home - the design of the inside, and every trade that finishes it.
Repair and Maintain
The things that break and cannot wait. Same day where the trade is already listed.
Energy
Power on the property - putting it in, keeping it on, and cutting what it costs to run.
Clean and Care
The recurring work. Weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or a standing arrangement.
Garden and Outdoors
Everything outside the walls, from a monthly cut to a full landscape.
Professional and Technical
The people who draw it, price it, inspect it, sign it off and run it.
Equipment and Plant
The machinery a job cannot start without, hired by the hour, the day or the week.
Logistics and Transport
Moving what the job needs, and taking away what it leaves behind.
Facilities Management
Multi-site and multi-trade care on a schedule, with one reporting line.
Physical Branding and Outdoor
Fabrication, mounting and installation. The physical half of outdoor advertising.
// The boundary
What magraft deliberately does not become
A marketplace dies the day it will list anything. These are the lines.
A general freelancer marketplace. Graphic design, web development, copywriting and social media are not magraft categories.
A classifieds board where a number is scraped and the platform disappears.
A pay-to-rank lead market where providers buy access to work that may not exist.
A digital marketing agency marketplace.
An employment agency, unless a regulated placement service is deliberately created in that country.
An insurer, or a blanket guarantor of physical work magraft did not control.

Materials and supply - cement, bricks, timber, roofing, plumbing and electrical supplies - is not a magraft pillar. It is sourced on Musika, which quotes one landed price including freight, border and duty.
Where does interior design sit?
In Interiors and Finishing, alongside the trades that carry the design out - painters, plasterers, tilers, ceiling installers, carpenters and cupboard fitters. It is construction work, not decoration.
Why is graphic design not here any more?
Because the boundary is the physical asset. Design still happens inside a signage or billboard job as an input to fabrication, but magraft does not run a general creative marketplace.
Can I get one provider for several trades?
For a single trade, browse the providers. For work that needs a stack of trades in sequence, use a managed project - magraft appoints them and holds the programme together.
