These are the rules every article on DwellingMath follows.
Accuracy
- Costs are published as ranges with stated assumptions, never as a single “average” presented as fact.
- We do not invent statistics, studies, quotes or named sources. If we cite something, it exists and can be checked.
- Legal and regulatory information (zoning, permits, building codes) varies by jurisdiction and changes. We describe the general picture and tell you what to confirm with your local building department.
Independence
- Advertisers and affiliate partners do not review, approve or influence our content before publication.
- Whether a product or service pays us a commission never decides whether we recommend it. If the best option for a reader has no affiliate program, we still recommend it.
Use of AI
We use AI tools to help draft articles. Every article is then read, fact-checked and edited by a person, who adds or corrects information and is responsible for the published result. We do not publish unreviewed AI output.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it in the article and update its review date. Material corrections — a wrong price range, a wrong legal statement — are noted in the article. To report an error, use the contact page.
Not professional advice
Our guides are for planning and education. They are not financial, legal, engineering or tax advice. Before you buy land, sign a contract or take out a loan, get quotes and advice from licensed professionals in your area.
