Rule summary
- Be Polite and Civil: No harassment, bullying, toxicity, and/or threats of violence. No personal attacks, no revealing personal information, no negatively charged comments about an individual on the basis of their identity.
- No Commercial Content: No Commercial Content, Surveys, Advertising or Study Related Content including Homework Assistance.
- Do Not Promote Unsafe Work Practices: Do not post comments (including humor) that may be interpreted as promoting unsafe work practices or making light of reasonable safety standards.
- No Politics: No Political discussions or posts are allowed on this sub. There are other subreddits to discuss it. Posts breaking this rule will be removed and the poster warned.
- No DIY Content: This subreddit is for working professionals. If you are looking for DIY or Homeowner advice from a professional, please try other DIY related subreddits.
- Stay On Topic: Provide content related to the construction industry, no low-effort posts.
Works well
- Share a real jobsite coordination problem you faced and ask other trades how they solved it.
- Start a discussion about a specific trade challenge, like scheduling subs on a tight timeline, without naming any product.
- Post a photo of an interesting or unusual construction detail from your own work and invite professionals to talk about it.
- Ask experienced pros how they handle a recurring industry headache, like material delays or inspection conflicts.
Avoid
- Posting any commercial content, ads, or surveys, as the No Commercial Content rule is explicit and broad.
- Asking DIY or homeowner questions, since the No DIY Content rule means instant removal.
- Sharing political posts or comments, because the No Politics rule is enforced with warnings.
- Making jokes or comments that could be read as promoting unsafe work practices, which the Do Not Promote Unsafe Work Practices rule prohibits.
- Posting anything off topic or low effort, which the Stay On Topic rule removes.
- Being rude, harassing, or personal with anyone, which the Be Polite and Civil rule bans.
What r/Construction Is For
This community is for construction professionals only. The description says it covers carpentry, concrete, steel, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, equipment operators, and related trades. Anyone working or interested in working in the field is welcome, but the room is not for DIY or homeowner questions. The moderators redirect those posts to other subreddits and remove them here.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that matters most for anyone with a marketing instinct is No Commercial Content. It bans advertising, surveys, and anything study related, which closes off the usual soft promotion paths. The No DIY Content rule also matters because it draws a hard line between professionals and homeowners, and the Do Not Promote Unsafe Work Practices rule means you should never joke about safety. Finally, Stay On Topic requires everything to relate to the construction industry, and No Politics keeps that conversation narrow.
What To Post
There is no evidence of top posts to learn from, so you have to work from the rules and description alone. A good post would be a genuine industry discussion from the perspective of someone who actually works in construction. You could share a real jobsite problem and ask how other pros handle it, or discuss a trade specific challenge like concrete pour planning or HVAC coordination. The key is that the content must serve working professionals and relate directly to the construction industry. Leave your product, your brand, and your links out of it entirely.
What To Avoid
You will get removed if you post DIY or homeowner questions, since the No DIY Content rule and the public description both push that content elsewhere. You will get removed for any commercial content, advertising, surveys, or study related material under the No Commercial Content rule. Political posts are removed and the poster is warned, per the No Politics rule. Anything that promotes unsafe work practices, even as a joke, is removed. Harassment, personal attacks, and revealing personal information are not tolerated under Be Polite and Civil. Low effort or off topic posts get removed under Stay On Topic.
