BTE France building guidelines

Unofficial community documentation

I maintain an unofficial documentation site for building conventions around BuildTheEarth France. Its purpose is to make recurring decisions easier to find and discuss, rather than leave every reference scattered across conversations.

The site organizes guidelines into subjects such as road infrastructure, public transport and railways, buildings, street furniture, flags, logos and signs. An index leads to the individual reference documents, with links for learning about the normalization project and proposing a guideline.

What the project does

Find road, sidewalk, parking and signage topics in a dedicated infrastructure category.
Browse railway, tramway and overhead-line references together.
Separate building details from street furniture and vegetation.
Follow links to individual guideline documents and the contribution process.

Environment and requirements

A browser; the published documentation is in French. The repository describes the wiki as unofficial.

Getting started

Start with the category index, then read the relevant guideline and the documentation’s own explanation of its scope. Use it as a common reference when discussing a detail with other builders, and confirm current team decisions with the team rather than treating this portfolio as the rules authority.

Scope, limitations and attribution

Unofficial documentation is not an official mandate from BuildTheEarth. The portfolio summarizes the project and links to the maintained reference instead of duplicating the whole wiki or claiming ownership of every community convention.
