This second edition of Professional Ethics for the Construction
Industry empowers a new generation of built environment professionals
to navigate the ethical challenges confronting them at every stage of a
project, from the initial bid to its completion and beyond. Authored by
a pair of veteran educators and industry professionals, this textbook
introduces ethical dilemmas aspiring construction professionals will
face on the job-and the critical thinking skills to reason their way out
of them.
Written to meet curriculum requirements for all levels of construction
education, this book explores ethics specific to the construction
industry, illustrated by detailed and realistic case studies. All-new
chapters on privacy, cutting-edge technologies, and pandemic-era worker
protections complement chapters on perennial ethical issues surrounding
the environment, client relationships, and more. Features include:
- Completely revised and updated to reflect changes in construction
technology, workforce composition, and working environments.
- Updated to include new chapters on social media, privacy and
technology, and construction during a disease outbreak or natural
disaster.
- Ideal reading for courses in professional ethics, leadership,
construction law, workforce readiness, and continuing education.
- Downloadable instructor's manual with commentary on scenarios provided
at the end of each chapter.
As vital on the jobsite as in the classroom, Professional Ethics for
the Construction Industry guides aspiring design and construction
professionals through the thorniest on-the-job conundrums.
