[Tagging] craft vs office for service enterprises/establishments.

[Nathan Case]

For me:

office=electrician

should be used for mapping the location of larger electricians company, 
e.g., as Daniel says, where they employ office staff and, likely, more 
than one electrician works at the company. The primary function of the 
tag is that this location acts as an office with primarily 
administrative tasks, rather than electrical tasks, being carried out there.

craft=electrician

should be used for either: the registered address of an electrician 
(usually their residential address but maybe a shared office space or 
workshop) who is not part of a larger company (in the UK we'd call that 
"self-employed").

Cheers.
