London Construction Magazine (LCM) is committed to accuracy, transparency and accountability in everything we publish. When we make mistakes, we correct them promptly, clearly and openly. This Corrections Policy outlines how we handle factual errors, updates and editorial changes.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We aim to ensure all information published on LCM is:
- Factually correct
- Based on reputable sources
- Verified by human editors
- Presented without misleading interpretation
If an error is identified — whether by our team, readers, or external stakeholders — we act quickly to correct it.
How We Handle Corrections
Minor Corrections
Small changes that do not affect the overall meaning of the article (e.g., spelling errors, non-essential typos) may be corrected silently without a public note.
Substantive Corrections
If an error affects factual accuracy — such as:
- Incorrect data
- Misreported project information
- Wrong dates, locations, or names
- Incorrect quotations
- Misleading technical details
We will amend the article and add a clearly visible note at the end of the story stating:
“Correction: This article was updated on [date] to correct [brief description of error].”
Updates and Ongoing Developments
For stories that evolve over time (e.g., ongoing construction projects, policy changes, planning decisions):
We update the article to reflect new developments
We add a note such as:
“Update: New information added on [date].”
We ensure readers are aware that earlier information may have been superseded
How to Request a Correction
Readers, companies and industry professionals are encouraged to notify us of any inaccuracies.
To request a correction, please contact:
Include:
- URL of the article
- Description of the issue
- Supporting evidence (if available)
We review all correction requests within 48 hours.
Transparency and Editorial Review
Before a correction is published:
- A human editor reviews the issue
- Facts are re-verified
- The update is logged internally
- A correction note is added when necessary
- We never delete articles solely because they contain errors — we correct them.
Retractions
In rare cases where an article is fundamentally incorrect or based on invalid information:
- We may retract the article
- A retraction notice will replace the original content
- We explain the reason for the retraction
- Retractions are used only as a last resort.
Responsibility
The editorial team, led by London Construction Magazine Editors, is responsible for implementing this policy and ensuring corrections are timely and transparent.
