每一位CSCOM顾问都遵循公开的职业准则。这是我们对业主、建筑商以及整个行业的承诺——公开发布，让每个人都能看到我们的立场。
我们的承诺
每项建议都基于合同文件、现场记录和可验证的事实——而非个人意见。顾问须公开接受这些准则的约束。

与您项目中的建筑商、供应商或承包商没有任何经济关系。我们唯一的义务是对您负责。

专业尊重
CSCOM不反对建筑商。我们尊重每一方参与者。我们重证据，不制造冲突。
保密性
您的项目信息受到保护。未经明确同意，我们绝不向第三方分享客户资料。
透明度
任何潜在利益冲突都会立即披露。顾问须申报所有相关关系。

Our standards
CODE OF CONDUCT
"How do your advisors behave?"
The Code of Conduct sets the minimum behavioural standard for everyone who represents CSCOM — advisors, consultants, and staff. It applies to every interaction with homeowners, builders, partners, and third parties.
Our commitment
Every person who represents CSCOM is bound by this Code. Breaches result in investigation and may lead to removal from the CSCOM advisor network.
Conduct requirements
01
Act with integrity. Be honest, fair, and transparent in all professional dealings. Never mislead a homeowner, builder, or partner.
02
Respect all parties. Treat builders, tradespeople, architects, and other professionals with courtesy and professionalism. CSCOM is pro-evidence, not pro-conflict.
03
Protect client information. Never disclose project details, personal information, or commercial terms without explicit written consent from the homeowner.
04
Decline gifts and inducements. Do not accept gifts, hospitality, or any benefit from builders, suppliers, or any party involved in a client's project.
05
Disclose conflicts immediately. If any personal, financial, or professional relationship could compromise objectivity, disclose it before proceeding.
06
Stay within scope. Do not provide legal advice, engineering certification, or statutory decisions. Refer homeowners to qualified professionals for matters outside CSCOM's remit.
07
Never pressure a client. Do not recommend unnecessary services or upgrades. If the free Learn level is sufficient, say so.
08
Report breaches. If you observe a breach of this Code by any CSCOM representative, report it through the complaints process.
我们的标准
行为规范
"你们的顾问如何行事？"
行为规范为所有代表CSCOM的人员——顾问、咨询师和员工——设定了最低行为标准。它适用于与业主、建筑商、合作伙伴和第三方的每一次互动。
我们的承诺
每一位代表CSCOM的人都受此规范约束。违规行为将被调查，并可能导致从CSCOM顾问网络中移除。
行为要求
01
诚信行事。在所有专业往来中做到诚实、公正和透明。绝不误导业主、建筑商或合作伙伴。
02
尊重各方。以礼貌和专业的态度对待建筑商、承包商、建筑师和其他专业人士。CSCOM重证据，不制造冲突。
03
保护客户信息。未经业主明确书面同意，绝不披露项目细节、个人信息或商业条款。
04
拒绝礼品和诱惑。不接受建筑商、供应商或客户项目相关方的礼品、招待或任何利益。
05
立即披露利益冲突。如果任何个人、财务或专业关系可能影响客观性，在继续工作前必须披露。
06
恪守职责范围。不提供法律意见、工程认证或法定决定。将超出CSCOM职权范围的事项转介给合格的专业人士。
07
绝不向客户施压。不推荐不必要的服务或升级。如果免费的Learn级别已经足够，如实告知。
08
举报违规行为。如果您发现任何CSCOM代表违反此规范，请通过投诉流程举报。
Our independence
INDEPENDENCE POLICY
"Are you really on my side?"
CSCOM exists to protect homeowners. That only works if we are genuinely independent — from the builders we assess, the partners who refer clients, and any party with a financial interest in the project outcome.
Our commitment
CSCOM does not accept commissions, referral fees, kickbacks, or any form of financial incentive from any builder, architect, supplier, or third party involved in a homeowner's project.
How we maintain independence
01
No builder commissions. We do not accept referral fees, trade commissions, or volume incentives from any builder or tradesperson.
02
No undisclosed partner incentives. Partners who refer homeowners to CSCOM do not receive payment from CSCOM. Homeowners pay for protection; partners gain client trust.
03
No project outcome interest. CSCOM advisors have no financial interest in whether a project proceeds, which builder is selected, or what materials are specified.
04
Separation of advisory and referral. The team advising a homeowner is never the same team managing partner relationships.
05
Revenue from homeowners only. CSCOM's revenue comes exclusively from homeowners purchasing protection services. No builder, no partner, and no third party pays CSCOM for advisory outcomes.
我们的独立性
独立性政策
"你们真的站在我这边吗？"
CSCOM的存在是为了保护业主。这只有在我们真正独立的情况下才有效——独立于我们评估的建筑商、推荐客户的合作伙伴，以及对项目结果有经济利益的任何一方。
我们的承诺
CSCOM不接受任何建筑商、建筑师、供应商或参与业主项目的第三方的佣金、转介费、回扣或任何形式的经济激励。
我们如何保持独立
01
不接受建筑商佣金。我们不接受任何建筑商或承包商的转介费、贸易佣金或量化激励。
02
无未披露的合作伙伴激励。向CSCOM推荐业主的合作伙伴不会从CSCOM获得报酬。业主为保护付费；合作伙伴赢得客户信任。
03
无项目结果利益。CSCOM顾问对项目是否进行、选择哪个建筑商或指定什么材料没有任何经济利益。
04
咨询与推荐分离。为业主提供咨询的团队永远不是管理合作伙伴关系的同一团队。
05
收入仅来自业主。CSCOM的收入完全来自购买保护服务的业主。没有建筑商、合作伙伴或第三方为咨询结果向CSCOM付费。
Our independence
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
"What if there's a conflict?"
Conflicts of interest undermine trust. CSCOM's policy is to prevent, disclose, and manage conflicts — not simply declare them after the fact.
Our commitment
Any conflict — real, perceived, or potential — must be identified, disclosed, and resolved before the advisor continues working on the project.
How conflicts are managed
01
Identify. Every advisor must assess potential conflicts at the start of each engagement and continuously throughout the project.
02
Disclose. Any identified conflict — including personal relationships, prior business dealings, or financial interests — must be disclosed to the homeowner and to CSCOM management immediately.
03
Resolve. Depending on the nature of the conflict, resolution may include reassigning the advisor, adjusting the scope of engagement, or declining the engagement entirely.
04
Record. All conflicts and their resolution are documented and retained for audit purposes.
Examples of conflicts
A CSCOM advisor has a personal friendship with the builder on the project. A partner who referred the homeowner requests special treatment. An advisor is offered a gift by a supplier. A CSCOM staff member has a financial interest in the outcome of a variation dispute. In every case, the conflict must be disclosed and resolved before work continues.
我们的独立性
利益冲突管理
"如果存在利益冲突怎么办？"
利益冲突会破坏信任。CSCOM的政策是预防、披露和管理利益冲突——而不是事后简单地声明。
我们的承诺
任何冲突——真实的、被感知的或潜在的——都必须在顾问继续项目工作之前被识别、披露和解决。
利益冲突如何管理
01
识别。每位顾问必须在每次服务开始时以及项目全程持续评估潜在利益冲突。
02
披露。任何已识别的冲突——包括个人关系、过往商业往来或经济利益——必须立即向业主和CSCOM管理层披露。
03
解决。根据冲突的性质，解决方式可能包括重新分配顾问、调整服务范围，或完全拒绝该项服务。
04
记录。所有利益冲突及其解决方式都将被记录并保留，以供审计之用。
利益冲突示例
CSCOM顾问与项目中的建筑商是私人朋友。推荐业主的合作伙伴要求特殊待遇。顾问被供应商赠送礼品。CSCOM员工在某项变更争议的结果中拥有经济利益。在每种情况下，冲突都必须在工作继续之前被披露和解决。
How AI is used
AI PRINCIPLES
"Will AI make decisions for me?"
CSCOM uses AI to enhance efficiency and consistency. But AI never replaces human judgement on matters that affect homeowners. Here is exactly what AI does and doesn't do at CSCOM.
Our commitment
AI handles preparation; humans handle judgement. No AI system at CSCOM makes recommendations, risk assessments, or decisions on behalf of a homeowner without human review and sign-off.
What AI does
01
Collects and organises information. AI retrieves builder data, licence records, and project documents to prepare structured summaries for human review.
02
Generates draft analysis. AI produces initial risk assessments and document reviews that a human advisor reviews, edits, and signs off before delivery.
03
Maintains knowledge base. AI helps curate and update CSCOM's accumulated project knowledge, making relevant precedents available to advisors.
What AI does not do
01
Make recommendations. AI never tells a homeowner what to do. Recommendations come from qualified human advisors.
02
Assess risk autonomously. Risk scoring follows deterministic rules stored in a database and verified by humans. AI does not independently assign risk levels.
03
Communicate with homeowners unsupervised. All homeowner-facing communication is reviewed by a human before delivery.
AI如何被使用
AI准则
"AI会替我做决定吗？"
CSCOM使用AI来提高效率和一致性。但AI永远不会在影响业主的事务上替代人类判断。以下是AI在CSCOM所做和不做的具体说明。
我们的承诺
AI负责准备工作；人类负责判断。CSCOM的任何AI系统都不会在未经人工审查和签字的情况下代表业主做出建议、风险评估或决定。
AI做什么
01
收集和整理信息。AI检索建筑商数据、许可证记录和项目文件，为人工审查准备结构化摘要。
02
生成初步分析。AI生成初始风险评估和文件审查，由人类顾问审查、编辑并签字后才交付。
03
维护知识库。AI帮助策划和更新CSCOM积累的项目知识，使相关先例可供顾问参考。
AI不做什么
01
做出建议。AI绝不告诉业主该怎么做。建议来自合格的人类顾问。
02
自主评估风险。风险评分遵循存储在数据库中并经人工验证的确定性规则。AI不独立分配风险等级。
03
无监督地与业主沟通。所有面向业主的沟通在交付前都经过人工审查。

Yes. Advisors are prohibited from receiving payments or benefits from builders, suppliers, or tradespeople on your project. Our revenue comes exclusively from homeowners purchasing protection services.

Does CSCOM provide legal advice?
No. We help you organise evidence and understand risk. For legal matters, we recommend consulting a qualified solicitor. We maintain clear professional boundaries.
