Guides · Member tools for trades
Jobs from main contractors
Main contractors post landscaping and external works packages on The Little Green Book. Members whose listing matches hear about them first.
How jobs reach you
- When a contractor posts a package, we email every paying member whose trades, area, insurance level and accreditations match what they asked for.
- A contractor can also invite you directly from their shortlist. Invitations always come through.
- Everyone can see a summary of open jobs on the jobs page. Members see the full details and drawings.
Reply
- Open the job from the email or the jobs page.
- Add a short message: when you could start and anything you need to know.
- Attach your compliance pack, so the contractor sees your checked paperwork straight away.
Turning emails off
Too many? Switch job emails off on your listing page. Invitations from contractors still come through.
Tip: The better your listing, the more you match. Keep your trades, the distance you travel, your insurance and your accreditations up to date.
