As artificial intelligence and emerging technologies transform construction practice, ethical reasoning, sound judgment, and responsible leadership are more important than ever. Construction professionals must learn not only to manage projects effectively, but also to lead with integrity, balance competing responsibilities, and make ethical decisions under uncertainty. This book integrates foundational ethical theories with professionalism, leadership, construction practice, artificial intelligence, global issues, and anti-corruption. Through practical decision-making frameworks, industry examples, and real-world case studies, readers develop the ability to recognize ethical challenges, evaluate competing interests, and exercise independent professional judgment. Particular attention is given to AI-assisted decision-making, human accountability, technological innovation, and the ethical implications of emerging technologies. Designed for teaching and professional development, each chapter includes learning objectives, practical examples, and review and reflection questions that foster critical thinking and ethical reasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable as both a textbook and professional reference, \u003ci\u003eBuilt on Integrity\u003c\/i\u003e serves senior undergraduate and graduate students in construction management, civil engineering, and related disciplines, as well as educators, construction professionals, and industry leaders seeking to strengthen ethical leadership and professional practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Instructor’s Manual including suggested course schedules, chapter guidance, case-study applications, and assessment strategies is available for adopting instructors to download from Routledge.com\/9781041198093.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge C.
