How To Reach Us
Email is the only contact channel, and it is checked several times a week rather than monitored continuously. Write to admin@fobiz.id.
Include the page URL if your message is about a specific article. Corrections are easier to act on when the exact sentence and the source that contradicts it are both in the message.
What We Answer
Corrections and factual challenges. If a cost figure is out of date or a claim about an assembly is wrong, we want to know. Send the page and the source, and the article gets revised with the change noted.
Clarification on published articles. If a section is unclear or a number needs context the article does not give, ask. Questions that come up repeatedly tend to become new articles.
Permission requests. Quoting a short extract with attribution and a link is fine without asking. Republishing a full article, translating one, or using the content commercially needs a written answer first.
Accessibility and technical problems. Broken links, pages that will not load, or content that does not work on a screen reader.
What We Cannot Help With
These are the requests that arrive most often, and none of them can be answered responsibly by email. Saying so here saves you waiting for a reply.
Quotes and pricing for your project. This site does not build, contract or broker construction work. It has no builders to refer and takes no commission from any introduction. Reading the quote sections and approaching builders directly will serve you better than asking us to price a house we have never seen.
Contractor recommendations. No firm pays to appear here and none is recommended. The vetting method in the builders section is the useful thing this site can offer, not a name.
Design review or engineering opinions. Nothing here substitutes for an architect or a licensed engineer looking at your actual drawings and your actual site.
Legal, tax or insurance advice. Construction contracts, permits and insurance coverage vary by jurisdiction enough that general guidance would be worse than none.
Requests to publish sponsored content or paid links. Declined without exception, and no rate card exists.
Response Times
Corrections and factual challenges are answered first, usually within a few days. General questions take longer, and during a heavy revision period possibly a couple of weeks.
If a message receives no reply, it is almost certainly one of the categories above rather than an oversight. A second email will not move it faster.
About The Content Itself
RPM Fobiz publishes reference material on Mediterranean home construction in the United States. The site is independent and reader-supported through advertising only. No contractor, supplier or manufacturer has editorial input, and no article has been paid for.
For how figures are sourced and what the site does not do, the About page covers it in full. For how information you send by email is handled, see the Privacy Policy.
