Where are the Builders / Building Contractors in the JOSM Presets?

This is a strange one to have as a quandry:—

I’m surveying Porchester Road (formerly Thorneywood Road), Nottingham NG3 & have reached the corner of Norman Road / Porchester Road. Down the side of Norman Road is 180 Porchester Road (go figure), which is the Registered Address of F. Holmes & Sons (Porchester) Ltd.:

This chap is a builder (he has converted his former home into a set of 4 terraced houses which, let’s face it, is what a building contractor is likely to do, and the reason that his registered office is now tucked down the side of Norman Street). Now here is the quandry:—

I guess that a builder can be called a ‘trade’, or it could be called a ‘craft’, but regardless of it’s group-type, non of the sections in JOSM feature either a “Builder” nor a “Building Contractor”, so how on earth am I to enter this commercial activity?. It is difficult for me to believe that no-one has come across a builder in the previous 10 years whilst entering stuff into the map.

Месца: Woodthorpe, Arnold, Gedling, Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, England, NG5 4JY, United Kingdom

For past use use taginfo ..

e.g for builders https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=builder#values

So .. you have a choice .. craft, office or shop. What do you think fits best? Then use that. If nothing fits then think of something that does … use it .. and if you think it is ‘good’ document it on the OSM wiki.

Good Luck.

Oh.. on the JOSM presets .. only follow things that people have complained about on their pages. Some of the things implemented are not ‘good’. Some of the things not implemented demonstrate how out of touch the presets are.

Lots and lots of profissions aren’t documented yet. I generally use the generic value “yes” to office’s, craft’s, and shop’s. The ideal is to document it to mantain the OSM data organized.

The wiki page for craft has builder : osm.wiki/Key:craft The JOSM preset for crafts : https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Presets/Crafts does not contain it. This preset does not come pre-installed. You have to add it yourself via the preferences.
