Professional Ethics in Construction and Engineering

Autor J Challender
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 2022
A comprehensive and incisive how-to guide that walks readers through the implementation of robust ethical standards in everyday construction management and decision-making Recent and high-profile incidents--including the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy and the Lakanal house fire in 2009--have been attributed to failures in the building construction, design, and certification industries. Some commentators have suggested that, while professional construction organizations are bound by codes of ethics, such codes are downplayed or even ignored in the day-to-day activities of construction professionals. Professional Ethics in Construction and Engineering is a practical and industry-aligned guide on ethical practice in construction management. The book addresses how existing ethical standards should be applied in daily practice and offers case studies and examples to illustrate their effective implementation. The author also provides a toolkit that can be employed by frontline managers facing common ethical dilemmas. Readers will also find: * Thorough discussions of how problematic and dangerous ethical situations arise and how they should be addressed * In-depth explorations of conflicts between legal and moral expectations, as well as mismatches between clients' business goals and the duties of contracting organizations * Playbooks for how impactful decisions should be made and how to uphold ethical standards and values * Comprehensive review of existing ethical standards around the world and the legal requirements binding construction professionals found in organizations like RICS, RIBA, and the CIOB Perfect for construction management practitioners, Professional Ethics in Construction and Engineering will also earn a place in the libraries of construction clients, contractors, surveyors, and architects, as well as students of construction-related disciplines at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Descriere

Professional Ethics in Construction and Engineering responds to that scrutiny with practical, industry aligned guidance on ethical practice in construction management. It addresses how existing ethical standards can be applied to professional practice pragmatically, with case studies and example scenarios aligned with the ethical requirements of industry professional bodies and a toolkit that can be employed when necessary. Furthermore, the book will provide coverage of real-world situations where practitioners must demonstrate professional judgement and ethical decision-making in response to legal and contractual requirements. With a thorough discussion of how such problematic situations arise, perhaps because of geographical differences in expected behaviours, conflicts between legal and moral dictum, or the mismatch between the business goals of client and contracting organisations and society’s perceptions of them as social facilitators, the book addresses how decisions can and should be made to uphold ethical standards and values. Consequently, the book brings together ethical theory, existing global ethical standards and the requirements of many professional bodies including the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) alongside practical advice on how those ethical principles and guidelines can and should be applied to all professional practitioner disciplines nationally and globally.
