[Tagging] Best practices for creating a categorical key=value

[bkil]

Can you ring the doorbell and purchase or order something from that
office? If yes, you could consider it to be a kind of shop. If it is
only a reseller, consider:

shop=trade + trade=building_supplies + sells=precast_concrete
or even shop=doityourself.

If it is manufacturing the said goods, consider:

man_made=works + product=precast_concrete

I found that office=construction_company would be a good start but I also want to identify the type of construction company, what it builds, its specialty. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any key that would allow me to do this (construction=* couldn't be an option). What if I create a new key that matches an often used pattern based on a higher hierarchical tag value? Would it be right?
