Trust & verification

A verified tick
that actually
means something.

Every badge on Obair Bhaile is reviewed by a human before it appears. No auto-granting. No honour-system claims. If a trade is verified, we've seen the paperwork.

🛡
Human-reviewed documents
Insurance, tax clearance and category-specific certs are checked by an admin before the tick goes live. No auto-granting.
Category-specific requirements
Electricians need RECI / Safe Electric. Gas fitters need RGII. We enforce what each category actually requires.
🔒
Payments held in escrow
Deposits and balances are held by Stripe and released only when both sides confirm the work is complete.
📋
Immutable audit trail
Every sensitive action — payment, status change, verification — is logged permanently. We can always show our work.

What trades tell us,
in their own words.

I stopped buying Bark credits the week I joined. Every job here is real — the homeowner has already decided they want the work done.

The verified tick meant something when we applied for it. Customers see it and the quote conversation goes three times faster.

Escrow is the feature nobody talks about. I've been paid on time, every time, since November. That's never happened to me before.

The Irish context

A €8bn market. A workforce 40% short of what it needs.

Ireland's renovation spend has doubled in six years. But the trades to do the work are thin on the ground, and the only platform that serves them charges €20–€100 per lead. We think there's a better way.

€8bn
Renovation spend
Up from €3.9bn in 2019 — homeowners are extending, not moving.
170k
Current workforce
Ireland's active construction & trades labour pool.
237k
Workers needed
To hit government housing & retrofit targets by 2030.
87%
Require reviews
Consumers who won't hire without verified credentials.
Our take →Trades don't need more leads. They need better jobs, less admin, and a platform that respects them. That's the entire thesis of Obair Bhaile.
