Corruption In The Construction Industry

There is a tremendous amount of corruption in the construction industry, on large scale construction projects and on small scale construction jobs. Corruption in construction is a problem.

This behaviour has to stop. Those who work in the construction industry have to:

1. Stop taking advantage of others. They have to stop seeking their own personal profit and gain at the expense of others.
2. Stop taking shortcuts in construction standards in order to save costs. At worst, people die when buildings or other structures collapse due to poor quality construction. Is money more important to them than other people's lives?
3. Stop using cheaper toxic materials in order to save costs, this harms others, the environment, and nature as a whole.
4. Stop engaging in bribes and special favours to secure jobs, work, projects etc. This may result in unqualified or under qualified contractors getting work, creating safety risks for everyone involved.
5. Stop putting up illegal buildings and structures that are dangerous and unsafe.
6. Stop thinking about themselves at the expense of others.

Today we're all immersed in selfishness, thinking about ourselves with no regard for others. As such, we harm ourselves, others and all of nature.

Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal, we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Those who work in the construction industry have to stop seeking to benefit themselves, instead they should seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

In this way, they'll benefit themselves, others and all of nature, and they'll have a positive influence on society as a whole.

May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may he show us the way. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
