Editorial Policy

Our Purpose

At Caelira, we turn complex home-building knowledge into clear, practical guidance for homeowners, contractors, and design enthusiasts in Indonesia.

Editorial Principles

Accuracy & Clarity – We fact-check technical claims, define terms plainly, and cite standards or reputable sources where relevant.
Practicality – We prioritize actionable steps, checklists, and real-world trade-offs (durability, cost, climate, availability).
Independence – Our editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers or sponsors.
Local Relevance – We consider Indonesian codes, climate, and material availability whenever possible.

Research & Sourcing

• We consult standards, manufacturer datasheets, building-science references, and expert interviews.
• Where data is uncertain or varies by region, we say so and point readers to local verification steps.
• We avoid vague claims and provide pros/cons, including maintenance implications and typical price ranges where feasible.

Updates & Corrections

• We review key guides periodically and update for clarity, price shifts, new materials, and code changes.
• If you spot an error, email editorial@caelira.biz.id with the page URL, the issue, and supporting references. Verified errors are corrected promptly with an update note where material.

Product Mentions & Reviews

• Mentions are based on features, performance, availability, and suitability for context (e.g., coastal, high rainfall, seismic zones).
• We do not accept payment to alter conclusions.
• If a product is provided for testing, we disclose it and evaluate transparently; we note limitations or test conditions.
• Comparisons include strengths, weaknesses, and alternatives across budget tiers.

Sponsored Content & Advertising

• Sponsored articles or sections are clearly labeled (“Sponsored” / “Iklan”).
• Ad placements (display, native, affiliate) are separated from editorial selection.
• Affiliate links may earn a commission at no extra cost to readers; this never dictates conclusions.
• Partners cannot preview or approve editorial verdicts.

Conflicts of Interest

Contributors must disclose relationships (employment, consulting, investments, gifts) that could influence coverage. We may reassign or decline content where conflicts exist.

Visuals & AI-Assisted Media

• We prefer original photos/diagrams or properly licensed images.
• When we use AI-generated visuals to illustrate concepts, we label them, avoid depicting real people without consent, and ensure they don’t misrepresent real-world performance or safety.
• Captions clarify when an image is illustrative rather than a photo of actual installed work.

Safety & Compliance Notes

• Building is risky. We emphasize safety practices, PPE, and local code checks.
• For structural work, electrical, gas, and waterproofing, we recommend professional oversight.

Community Contributions

• We welcome case studies and lessons learned from readers and professionals.
• Submissions may be edited for clarity, length, and style. By submitting, contributors grant us permission to publish and promote their materials.

Data, Privacy & Cookies

• If analytics or advertising cookies are used (e.g., Google AdSense), this is covered in our Privacy Policy.
• We do not sell personal data. Contact privacy@caelira.biz.id for requests.
