Questions, answered.

ProGrafter is a UK construction platform where homeowners submit projects for review before suitable work moves towards matching with verified trades. Project records can bring quotes, updates and decisions together.

ProGrafter does not sell leads. Homeowner briefs are reviewed before matching, trades are checked, and marketplace commission is described as applying after completed, paid work.

You can submit a project from within the UK. Initial trade coverage is focused on Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands; a match depends on the work and verified trades available locally.

Where your project is suitable and local coverage allows, ProGrafter may invite up to three verified trades. An invitation, match or quote is not guaranteed.

Your project is submitted to ProGrafter for review, not automatically published to trades. We may contact you to clarify the work before deciding whether it is suitable for matching.

Submitting a project for review and core marketplace matching are free for homeowners where coverage allows. The Project Cost Guide is free; Quote Checker is a separate, optional paid product. Trades pay commission after completed, paid work.

Trade verification includes identity, public liability insurance and relevant qualifications where applicable, alongside references or work history and ongoing checks. Review the specific trade's documents and suitability for your work.

No. We verify trades before they are matched, but ProGrafter is not an insurer or certification body. Verification does not replace your own judgement or a written agreement.

Apply as a trade and provide the required identity, insurance and relevant qualification documents. The checks are reviewed before approval; there is no promised turnaround time.

The project submission collects contact details, a full project address and a description of the work. The brief is held for ProGrafter review and may need clarification before any suitable trade invitation. It is not automatically published.

No. It reviews the quote document — what is included, unclear or missing — and explains its findings. It assesses the document, not the person, and does not rank trades.

Start with the free guide to reading a building quote. Quote Checker is an optional paid review of your own quote; available module prices are shown before checkout.

Depending on your project, accepted quote details, milestone records, site photo updates, decisions and documents can be kept together. These records do not mean stage payments are collected or held by ProGrafter.

Not currently. Digital contract signing, homeowner payment collection and end-to-end escrow are not live. Milestone records are not proof that money has been collected or released.

There is no joining fee, lead fee or required core marketplace subscription. Applying, getting verified, receiving suitable matches and quoting are free. The standard commission is 5% after completed, paid work, capped at £900. Optional paid tools are separate.
