Frequently asked questions
How the resources library is maintained, and how to read, cite, or contribute to it.
ResourcesWhat is in the Ferrum OS resources library?
A curated set of articles, source-cited research cases, and Indian construction standards guidance. New entries ship regularly; older ones are reviewed when codes, markets, or product workflows change.
ReadingDo I need a Ferrum OS account to read the resources?
No. All articles, research cases, the standards navigator, and this FAQ are public.
CitationsHow are code references and standards cited?
Each reference uses the canonical IS code number (for example IS 1200, IS 456, IS 800, IS 875) and a one-line description. When a non-Indian standard is discussed, we note how it maps to Indian practice so teams can decide what to adopt, hold, or drop in their own workflow.
UpdatesHow often is the resources content updated?
Articles and research cases are updated when product behaviour, market context, or referenced standards change. Standards Navigator stances (Adopt, Hold, Drop) are reviewed at least once per quarter.
ContributingCan I suggest a topic or submit a research case?
Yes. Reach the team through the contact page with the working title, a short outline, and the primary source (a statute, standard, or official dataset) that should ground the writeup -- research cases are only published when a verifiable primary source backs them.
GeographyIs the content specific to India?
Yes. The library focuses on Indian land records, planning, compliance, contractor coordination, and delivery realities. Where international standards are referenced, the article explains the Indian equivalent or boundary condition.
