Construction is more than managing budgets, timelines, and resources. It also requires strong systems that protect integrity and accountability.
As Engr. Noel M. Marcelino, Vice President for QS Operations at QSI, points out, the construction industry faces significant exposure to bribery and corruption risks due to high-value contracts, multiple stakeholders, complex procurement processes, and frequent discretionary decisions.
This highlights why having clear controls and ethical practices is important, not only for compliance, but also for building trust among clients, partners, and stakeholders.
Strong projects are supported by strong systems.
What practices do you think can help strengthen transparency and integrity in construction?
