Can I mention my software by name?
Yes. The “Promotion” rule says mentioning the name of a construction company or software is acceptable, as long as you are not selling it.

Rule summary
- Don't insult, troll, threaten, or harass: Please don't intentionally disrupt conversation by insulting, trolling, threatening, or harassing other users. We are professionals, let's keep it that way.
- Submissions must be construction related: This community is focused on construction management. Posts must contribute positively to /r/ConstructionManagers and foster discussion. Cross posts are acceptable as long as the follow the guidelines set by the sub.
- Promotion: Mentioning the name of a construction company or software is acceptable, but attempting to sell a service/product is a violation of this rule.
- Don't ask for a job: Please do not ask for work on this subreddit. The user base isn't big enough to get everybody a job and the industry is hiring like crazy.
- Don't spam, overpost, or aggressively self-promote.: Please don't submit spam or exclusively self-promote your own websites. Posts/comments that include politics, unreliable news articles, or surveys will be removed.
Works well
- A question post about a real construction management workflow problem, like how teams track something on site, with no product link anywhere.
- A plain language write up of a lesson you learned building for the construction industry, written so a construction manager learns something even if they never hear of your product.
- A genuine answer to someone else's question where naming your software helps, since “Promotion” allows mentioning a company or software by name.
- A cross post of a construction related discussion that adds value here, which the rules explicitly allow as long as it follows the sub guidelines.
- A short observation about a trend in construction management practice, phrased as a discussion starter rather than a report or a news drop.
Avoid
- Writing a post that ends with a sales pitch, a demo link, or a call to action, because that turns a mention into a violation of “Promotion”.
- Asking the community for work or clients, which breaks “Don't ask for a job”.
- Posting a survey or a poll, since the spam rule says surveys get removed.
- Sharing political takes or unreliable news articles to spark engagement, both named as removal reasons in “Don't spam, overpost, or aggressively self-promote.”.
- Dropping the same link across many posts or filling the sub with your own site, which is the core of the spam rule.
- Being rude or dismissive when someone critiques your product, because “Don't insult, troll, threaten, or harass” applies to everyone, especially founders under pressure.
What r/ConstructionManagers Is For
This is a community for people working in construction management. The public description says it exists for those in the field to network and share ideas. So the room is made up of construction managers and others in the industry talking shop, not shoppers looking for tools. The description also points to an AEC Collective Discord server, which tells you the community keeps part of its life off Reddit. The rules back this up. Submissions must be construction related and must contribute positively and foster discussion. The tone is professional, and the first rule asks members to keep it that way.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “Promotion”. It says mentioning the name of a construction company or software is acceptable, but attempting to sell a service or product is a violation. That is a narrow door, and it matters. “Don't spam, overpost, or aggressively self-promote.” is the second gate, and it goes further than spam alone. It says posts and comments that include politics, unreliable news articles, or surveys will be removed, and that you should not exclusively self-promote your own websites. “Submissions must be construction related” is the third gate, because it requires posts to contribute positively and foster discussion. “Don't ask for a job” closes one more door, since asking for work is not allowed here. Finally, “Don't insult, troll, threaten, or harass” sets the tone, and the rule reminds everyone that this is a professional space.
What To Post
A good post here is a construction management topic first and a product mention second, if at all. Think of a question about how teams handle a real workflow problem, or an honest observation from building something for this industry, framed so that construction managers want to reply. Because “Promotion” allows naming a company or software, you can say what you build in plain words when it is relevant. What you cannot do is sell it, so no pricing, no demo links, no calls to action. The rule “Submissions must be construction related” is your test for every post. If a construction manager would find it useful to read even if they never buy anything, it probably fits.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is to sell. If your post reads like a pitch, a demo request, or a funnel, it violates “Promotion”. Do not post surveys, because the spam rule names them directly. Do not post politics or unreliable news articles, same rule. Do not ask for a job or for work, because “Don't ask for a job” forbids it. Do not flood the sub with links to your own website, because exclusively self-promoting your own sites is called out in “Don't spam, overpost, or aggressively self-promote.”. And keep every post tied to construction management, because anything off topic fails “Submissions must be construction related”.

Can I include a link to my pricing page or a free trial?
No. Attempting to sell a service or product is a violation of “Promotion”, so leave pricing, demos, and sign-up links out.
Can I offer my consulting services here?
No. “Don't ask for a job” covers asking for work, and that includes pitching your own services to the room.
Can I run a survey of construction managers?
No. “Don't spam, overpost, or aggressively self-promote.” says posts and comments that include surveys will be removed.
Can I cross post something from another subreddit?
Yes. “Submissions must be construction related” allows cross posts as long as they follow the guidelines set by the sub.
