Terms of use

Short version: this is a free planning reference, the figures are published ranges rather than advice about your building, and you use them at your own discretion.

Agreement

These terms govern your use of buildingcapex.com, published by Spencer Gasselin LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801 (“we”, “us”). By using the site you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the site.

Informational only — not professional advice

Everything on this site is general information for planning purposes. It is not engineering, architectural, legal, tax, accounting, insurance or investment advice, and it does not create a professional relationship of any kind between you and us.

In particular, nothing on this site is:

  • A reserve study, a property condition assessment, or a substitute for either;
  • An engineering opinion, specification, design document or scope of work;
  • A quote, estimate, bid or appraisal for any project;
  • A determination of what any regulation, code or statute requires of your property.

Cost and service-life figures are reported ranges compiled from third-party published sources. They describe commercial building systems in general. They do not describe your building. Before spending money or making a commitment, obtain a condition assessment, an engineering opinion, and bids from appropriately licensed professionals in your jurisdiction.

No guarantee of accuracy or outcome

We compile figures carefully and cite their sources, and we still make no warranty that any figure is accurate, current, complete, or applicable to your property. Sources revise their data, buildings differ, markets move, and errors happen. We do not guarantee any result, saving, budget outcome or project cost.

Regulatory and statutory content

Where we describe requirements — reserve study rules, building performance standards, assessment standards or similar — those requirements vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Any such description reflects our understanding as of the date shown on the page and is subject to change as laws change. Confirm current requirements for your jurisdiction with qualified counsel or the relevant authority before relying on them.

Sponsorship and listings

Sponsored placements and directory listings are labelled where they appear. A listing or sponsorship is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or any representation about the licensing, insurance, competence or performance of the company listed. We do not vet, supervise or take responsibility for any third party you find through this site, and any dealings with them are solely between you and them. Verify licensing, insurance and references yourself. Our full arrangement is set out in the editorial policy.

Acceptable use

You may read, print and use this material for your own planning purposes, internally, including sharing it with your colleagues or advisers. You may not scrape, bulk-download, republish or resell the content, present it as your own, use it to train a machine learning model, or use the site to distribute malware, spam or unlawful material.

Intellectual property

The content, compilation, design and code of this site are owned by Spencer Gasselin LLC or its licensors and protected by copyright. Underlying figures belong to the sources we cite; where you need the source data itself, go to the source. Trademarks appearing here belong to their owners and their appearance is not a claim of affiliation.

Third-party links

We link to standards bodies, agencies and publications. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or availability.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, budget overrun, project cost, business interruption or data loss, arising from your use of or reliance on this site. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to this site is limited to one hundred United States dollars (USD 100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this may not apply to you.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spencer Gasselin LLC and its officers and agents from any claim arising out of your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms.

Changes and availability

We may change this site or these terms at any time, and the date at the top of this page shows the current version. We may also suspend or discontinue any part of the site without notice.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The exclusive venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to that jurisdiction.
