Types of Engineering Writing to Meet Your
Communication Needs
Engineering writing covers a wide range of topics and formats. Apart from whitepapers,
case studies, and trade journal articles, it covers content forms such as proposals
and specifications, inspection, research, and progress reports.
Proposals
Proposals can range from concise summaries to detailed documents. The documents provide the information necessary for someone to decide on funding your project.
Our skilled engineering writing team understands how to outline an idea, how to plan to solve a problem or how to achieve your communication goal. The structure includes – but is not limited to – the problem description, project scope, goals, background information, and relevant data or supporting materials.
Specifications
A specification is a document that gives detailed information about the requirements for building or manufacturing. It includes drawings and lists of parts and materials.
Specifications form part of the design phase of construction, and they outline what’s needed to progress from the conception phase to the production phase.
Use our engineering technical writing expertise to outline how you will design and build a solution for a specific problem.
Inspection Reports
An inspection report is a document that describes the findings of an inspection. It includes a description of the work inspected, the date, and a list of any problems you found.
It provides your client with information about the state of their project or structure. The report also forms the base for your cost estimates to fix a problem.
Our engineering technical writing services help you translate the findings into understandable terms for your client.
Research Reports
A research report provides a synopsis of your investigation’s data, research process, and results. It’s an unbiased and accurate summary to highlight the important aspects of your research.
Our engineering technical writing services include well-crafted research reports to help your readers find core information about your research. We help you create a detailed report of your research processes and convey your findings objectively.
Progress Reports
The progress report provides your client with details about the progress of work. It includes your assessments, problems encountered, and the project timeline.
Your client isn’t the expert, and that’s why you need to present the information in understandable language. Our engineering writing makes this process easier. We help you translate technical data into easy-to-understand language without compromising on accuracy and details.

How Engineering Writing Differs From
Other Forms of Writing
Engineering writing is technical and focused on conveying complex information in
an understandable, structurally correct format. It differs from other forms of writing, such
as creative marketing content, in purpose, the audience it targets, and writing style
and format.
Purpose
Creative marketing content attracts, entertains, and engages the reader. Engineering writing focuses on reporting, informing, instructing, and educating the reader. It addresses a problem, provides a solution, instructs with guidelines, and educates with research findings.
It can serve for marketing and essential information provision. Because the purpose is to inform and instruct, our engineering content writers provide content that builds trust in your company’s ability to solve problems.
Audience
Creative marketing content can be generic, whereas industry-specific information can serve to meet the information needs of a segmented group. The audience segmentation is according to location, age, occupation, interests, and other characteristics.
Engineering content writing aims to meet the information needs of the technical and business audience according to education level, occupation, industry, and project focus. Documents include, for instance, indexes, abstracts, and citations from credible sources.
Writing Style & Format
With creative marketing content, the writing style ranges from light conversational to professional conversational. The structure depends on the aim of the content, with readability and engagement being priorities. Formats range from blog posts to articles, eBooks, and case studies, among others.
Engineering technical writing follows a professional, structured style, while the marketing content is conversational yet professional. Formats include articles, blog posts, and social media posts, as well as case studies, research reports, whitepapers, proposals, and technical specifications.
The writers use the company style guides for language, tone, structure and presentation consistency for each format.
Industries We Serve
SaaS
The SaaS industry is subscription-based rather than product focused. This comes with unique content creation challenges. Prospective buyers must opt-in on services and don’t have tangible products to evaluate. You need to build trust with enough information to help them decide the value of your services for solving their problems.
The second component entails technical writing services, such as case studies, step-by-step guidelines for installing software, solving application issues, and configuring settings.
Our engineering content writers help you introduce and explain your latest services with content that shows benefits for your audience. We explain industry jargon and demonstrate how your solutions solve their problems and help them to meet their goals.

Telecommunications
Telecommunication companies benefit from technical writing services for industry reports, investment proposals, research reports, and specifications.
We help you create case studies to show clients how your solutions support their communication and data needs. Easy-to-understand installation or instruction manuals help your clients to understand and get the best value from your solutions.
Our writers craft compelling articles for publishing on your website and in trade journals to further your brand’s image as an industry leader.

Augmented Reality (AR)
Firms operating in the Augmented Reality (AR) space must deal with fast-changing technologies. With a range of new products, you don’t have the advantage of long product histories to build trust. In addition, many of your clients don’t understand the terminology, which poses a challenge for attracting development funding.
Our engineering writing services ease the process by explaining complex concepts and whitepapers for detailed information to attract investment interest.
We help your company stand out with supportive documentation, like instruction manuals, well-written proposals, research reports, and case studies. Our writers craft content to help clients become familiar with your products and better understand the application value.
