How we use AI

1. Scope and Purpose

This policy establishes guidelines for all AI-generated or AI-assisted content published on the website. It applies specifically to the website design team, which is responsible for using approved AI tools to support website maintenance, development, and content creation. The purpose of this policy is to improve user experience while ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of information related to construction materials and building specifications.

2. Permitted Design Team Workflows

Website designers may use authorized AI tools for the following purposes:

• Visual Prototyping: Generate structural layouts, user interface wireframes, and placeholder design elements to support early-stage website planning.
• Asset Optimization: Enhance, crop, or resize product imagery for doors, windows, and related building materials, provided all final assets are reviewed for accuracy and appropriateness.
• Draft Content Development: Prepare initial informational drafts, organize product dimensions, or structure supply-related tables for review and approval before publication.

3. Safety and Content Requirements

Because the website serves as a resource for building supplies and construction-related information, accuracy is essential. Designers must comply with the following requirements:

• No AI-Based Technical Sourcing: Designers must not rely on AI tools to generate or validate building codes, safety ratings, structural load limits, product dimensions, or technical specifications. All technical information must be obtained directly from official manufacturer documentation, approved internal resources, or other verified sources.
• Mandatory Human Review: All AI-assisted design elements, written content, and code must be manually reviewed before publication. The website design team remains fully accountable for the accuracy, quality, and suitability of all live website content.
• Copyright and Brand Integrity: AI-generated or AI-assisted visual assets must not infringe on third-party trademarks, copyrighted materials, or proprietary architectural designs. AI-assisted written content must be reviewed and edited to ensure it aligns with the company's professional tone and brand standards.

4. Data Privacy and Model Safety

Designers are prohibited from entering proprietary vendor contracts, non-public pricing information, confidential business data, customer information, or backend website security code into public or non-secure AI platforms. Only approved tools and approved data sources may be used for AI-assisted website development and content creation.
