Fact Checking Policy

Fact-Checking Policy

At KBM Engineering, the accuracy of our content is critical to maintaining trust with our clients, stakeholders, and partners. Whether we are publishing technical articles, service descriptions, project updates, or company announcements, we uphold strict fact-checking standards to ensure that every statement is clear, credible, and verifiable.

1. Commitment to Accuracy

We are committed to publishing content that is:

  • Technically precise and reflective of real engineering processes.
  • Supported by internal records, certifications, or industry references.
  • Reviewed by qualified personnel for accuracy before publication.

Accuracy is not just a goal—it is a responsibility. We understand that many of our readers use our content to make business decisions, and we take that responsibility seriously.

2. Sources and Verification

Before publishing any technical or operational content, we verify facts using:

  • Internal documentation, such as engineering drawings, project briefs, or inspection reports.
  • Official standards, such as SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) or ISO guidelines.
  • Direct input from subject matter experts (SMEs) within our engineering and consulting team.

We do not rely on speculative information or unverified third-party claims.

3. Expert Review Process

Each technical article, case study, or service page is reviewed by at least one qualified professional before it is made public. This may include:

  • Senior engineers or technicians
  • Project managers familiar with the work discussed
  • Management or compliance officers for sensitive disclosures

For highly specialized topics, we consult external experts or governing bodies where appropriate.

4. Continuous Updates and Corrections

In the event that information becomes outdated or a factual error is discovered:

  • The content is promptly reviewed and corrected.
  • Major changes are noted with an update timestamp or correction notice if needed.
  • Clients or stakeholders affected by the correction are notified directly where relevant.

We believe that acknowledging and correcting errors builds credibility—not diminishes it.

5. No Tolerance for Misrepresentation

KBM Engineering does not publish:

  • False or misleading claims about our capabilities or results.
  • Fabricated data or exaggerated performance outcomes.
  • Content that could misinform readers about engineering safety, compliance, or project integrity.

All claims must be substantiated by real documentation or demonstrated results.

6. Feedback and Concerns

We encourage our readers and clients to report any factual concerns or discrepancies found in our published content. If you believe an error exists, please contact us at:
