Editorial policy

Our guides help people make real decisions about space and money, so we hold them to a few simple rules.

Sources

• We use primary sources where we can: building codes, workplace regulations, government data and the organisation's own publications.
• Each page lists its sources at the bottom, with links.
• Where a standard is sold behind a paywall (for example BS EN 527-1), we name it but do not quote figures we could not check.

Numbers

• Every figure is either a cited rule or a planning assumption that we label as ours.
• We keep figures conservative and round them only for readability.
• We do not invent statistics, studies, quotes or reviews.

Safety and health

Our guides are planning estimates. Building, fire and accessibility rules vary by place, so we always point readers to their local code and a licensed professional. Our desk setup guide covers fit and comfort settings only and makes no medical claims.

Famous office profiles

We profile only buildings that are well documented in public sources. We show a photo only when its licence allows; otherwise we use our own drawings or fact cards.

Independence

No company pays for a mention. If we ever add affiliate links, we will label them and explain them on our affiliate disclosure page.
