Content Guidelines

Introduction

Welcome to our Content Guidelines! This document is your comprehensive guide to the standards that shape all content on our Platform. Whether you’re sharing a workflow, a professional tip, or a project case study, these guidelines reflect our commitment to accuracy, ethics, professionalism, and value for the AEC community.

By aligning your contributions with these standards, you not only enhance the quality of our shared knowledge base but also strengthen your reputation as a trusted professional within the community. Failure to comply may result in content removal, loss of reputation points, or suspension of your account.

Let’s work together to build a professional, respectful, and inspiring space for AEC knowledge exchange!

✅ Practical insights including workflows, methodologies, lessons learned, and best practices.
✅ Well-documented case studies showcasing real-world projects, successes, and challenges.

Additional Guidelines

Corporate Listings & Sponsored Content
Corporate users may showcase their solutions in the Solutions Directory, provided they clearly identify promotional materials and ensure accuracy in product/service claims. Misrepresentation will result in removal.
Independent Professionals & Blogs
Individual contributors are encouraged to share personal insights, project experiences, and lessons learned directly on the Platform instead of linking to external blogs. This ensures content remains accessible, searchable, and valuable to the community.
AI-Generated Content Policy
We value the human expertise, lived experiences, and nuanced perspectives of AEC professionals. While AI tools may assist in drafting, content must reflect authentic professional knowledge. Submissions that appear primarily AI-generated, without added professional insight, may be removed.
