Why Binaaline?
Most people build or renovate a home once or twice in their lives, and face terms and standards they don't understand: C2TE S1? PN20? R11? A 30 mA RCD? The result is decisions based on "what the shop said" or "what the neighbour did".
Binaaline ("Binaa Line", from the Arabic word for building) exists to change that: clear content built on standards, codes and technical guides, with every figure and specification matched to its original source.
Who we write for
- Homeowners: to understand what they are buying, read a contractor's quote, and know what to inspect.
- Contractors: to find the technical reference quickly and explain it clearly to clients.
- Suppliers: to describe products by their correct specifications and match them to the right use.

Corrections policy
- Any reader can report an error through the "Tell us" link under every guide, or from the contact page.
- We check the report against the original source. If the error is confirmed we fix it and log the correction and its date under the guide; we never remove errors silently.
- When a standard or regulation changes, we update the guide and its "last reviewed" date.
- When a publisher removes a page, we link to an archived copy and say so.
Commercial disclosure
- We explain materials by standard, not by brand. Any brand name is mentioned only to clarify, not as a recommendation.
- If a commercial relationship ever arises (advertising, sponsorship, paid directory listing), the content concerned will be clearly labelled "Advertisement" or "Sponsored", and the relationship described here. No commercial relationship affects the technical guides.
- "Search your city" results are shown by Google; we receive nothing for any business appearing there.
What's next?
We are expanding the encyclopedia, then planning accounts for three user types — homeowner, contractor and supplier — with quote requests. These services have not launched yet, and registering interest does not create an account.
