Construction ethics（道德规范）

Like other professions, construction is also guided by written laws （成文的法律）and unwritten moral and ethical codes（不成文的道德和伦理准则）. Here is the code of the American Institution of Constructors.

★A member shall have full regard to public interest in fulfilling his or her professional responsibilities.(成员在履行其专业职责时应充分考虑公众利益)

★A member shall not engage in any deceptive practice.(成员不得从事任何欺骗行为) 

★A member shall not recklessly  injure or attempt to injure the professional reputation of others. (成员不得鲁莽行事, 损害或试图损害他人职业声誉)

★A member shall ensure that the advice they provide is fair and unbiased.(成员应确保其提供的建议公平公正) 

★A member shall not divulge confidential information to any person, firm or company, during the course of professional activities.  For instance,  letting a specific contractor or subcontractor know enough about the other bids so that he or she can bid below them to win the job. It is unmoral and unfair not to give every the same chance of winning the job. Maybe in a short term the owner and the specific contractor can get small profits, but in a long run, all of them get hurt.(成员不得在专业活动过程中向任何人或者公司泄密。例如，让特定承包商或分包商充分了解他人标书，这样他或她就能以低于别人的价格赢得这份工作。不给每个人同样的机会赢得这份工作是不道德和不公平的。也许在短期内，业主和特定承包商可以获得微利，但从长远来看，他们都会受到伤害）

★A member shall carry out his or her responsibilities in accordance with current professional practice.  Sometimes it is difficult to discern if certain ways of acting are unethical or simply economic business practice, such as the reduced use of steel in the frame.(成员应按照现行职业惯例履行其职责。有时很难辨识 某些行为方式是不道德的，或者只是经济的商业行为，比如减少框架中的钢材使用)

★A member shall keep information of new concepts and development in the construction process.  (成员应不断学习工程中的新理念和新发展)

廉洁自律是指引人生正确方向的星光

诚信让世界更美好

☛One day, you will understand that it's harder to be kind than clever. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy, they are given after all. Choices can be hard, you can seduce yourself with your gifts if you are not careful, and if you do, it'll probably to be the detriment of your choices.（终有一天，你会明白善良比聪明难。聪明是一种天赋，善良是一种选择。天赋很容易，毕竟是上苍所赋予的。选择则可能很难，  一不小心，你可能就会仰仗天赋而受到诱惑。如果抵制不了诱惑的话，你很可能就会毁掉你的选择。）

善良会传递
