Staines.Build — The construction job platform for trades and clients

Who it's for

Built for both sides of the job

Read your side first. Then read theirs — it explains why the platform works.

The fairness angle

You see the job before you spend a penny. And if it doesn't work out, your credit comes back.

Every scope is a real job from a real client — structured before you arrive, budgeted before you quote. No chasing ghosts.

The clarity angle

Tell us what you need. Staines^ai turns it into a proper scope — so every trade knows exactly what the job is.

The protection angle

Every job is scoped, evidenced, and signed off. If it's not done right, it's not done — and the data proves it.

Staines.Build is not a directory. It is a job management system. Your scope becomes the contract.

Scope agreed before work starts — no moving goalposts
Photo evidence required at every key stage
Extras captured in data — you decide what is approved
Dispute resolution built in — Staines^ai flags issues early
Invoice created from the agreed scope — no surprises

The quality angle

Every trade is approved before they can take a job. Pro status shows they are actively working — not a dormant listing.

How it works

Simple at every stage

Two sides, one platform. Everything structured so nothing falls through the gaps.

1

Browse scopes

See job type, location and scope detail before spending anything. Only real, committed jobs reach you.

2

Unlock for £2.50

Spend a token to unlock full scope details and contact the client. Refunded if the job doesn't proceed.

3

Quote, do the job, invoice

Ask questions, refine the scope, send your offer. Once accepted, the scope becomes the invoice automatically.

1

Describe your job

Tell Staines^ai what you need in plain English. The AI structures it into a proper scope — tasks, budget, timeline.

2

Post with a budget

Review and edit your scope, set your budget, then post. Verified trades in your area are matched automatically.

3

Sign off, pay, done

Approve the offer, track progress, sign off the job. Invoice created from the agreed scope — no surprises.

The difference

Built to fix what's broken elsewhere

Three structural problems with every other platform. Three structural answers.

💷

Pay for real jobs only

Other platforms charge trades for leads whether they win or not. On Staines.Build, £2.50 unlocks a real scope — and comes back if the job doesn't proceed.

📸

Evidence at every stage

Photos required at job start and completion. Bilateral sign-off before invoice. Reviews gated behind completion — unfakeable by design.

✅

Verified, active trades

Every trade is approved before appearing. Pro status means actively working on the platform — not a dormant listing from years ago.

Trade categories

Find the right trade for the job

Verified trades across all major categories, matched to your location.

Bricklayer Carpenter / Joiner Electrician Gas Engineer General Builder Landscaper / Groundworks Painter / Decorator Plasterer Plumber Roofer Tiler UPVC Fitter

Why it works

Built on mutual commitment

£2.50 on both sides is the quality filter. Both parties committed before any work starts.

For Trades

Your portfolio grows with every job. Your history stays with you. Every completed scope is verified evidence — not just a star rating someone left before the job was finished.
