Guest post guidelines for engineers, BIM specialists and industry writers

We publish practical, original articles that help people build better careers in civil and structural engineering and the wider UK construction industry. If you have hands-on experience or a well-researched perspective, we would like to hear from you.

Topics we accept

  • Civil and structural engineering careers: chartership, CPD, progression, interviews, specialising
  • CAD, BIM and digital construction: ISO 19650, modelling workflows, data and information management
  • Structural and civil design practice: Eurocodes, materials, temporary works, geotechnics, drainage
  • UK infrastructure and construction: transport, water, energy, housing, net zero and sustainability
  • Working in the industry: site safety, contracting, consultancy life, skills shortages, diversity

What we look for

  • Length: 800–1,500 words, with clear H2 subheadings.
  • Originality: unpublished work only – not spun, syndicated or AI-generated without substantial human expertise and editing.
  • Usefulness: specific, accurate and UK-relevant. Cite sources for statistics and standards.
  • Tone: helpful and professional, written in UK English. No hard selling.
  • Images: optional; you must own them or hold a suitable licence.

Link policy

  • Up to 1–2 dofollow links per article, placed in context and relevant to the reader.
  • An optional single link in your author bio.
  • No links to casino, gambling, adult, CBD, pharma, payday loan, crypto-trading or other unrelated or harmful sites.
  • We may edit, re-anchor or mark links as nofollow/sponsored where appropriate, and we remove links that later redirect elsewhere.
