摘要

In a bid to conceptualise an ethical practice framework for sustainable construction digitalisation, this chapter explored existing frameworks. This became necessary as there is no ethical practice framework designed purposely to integrate emerging digital technologies in construction organisations. As such, this chapter drew from existing ethics of technology and digital ethics frameworks from diverse fields. Among the arrays of ethical frameworks and guidelines available in the body of literature, some ethical considerations were reoccurring, indicating their importance and usefulness in the proposed ethical practice framework for sustainable construction digitalisation. To this end, reviewing existing frameworks revealed six ethical considerations for sustainable construction digitalisation. These are accountability, equity, and fairness, privacy, safety and security, sustainability, and transparency.
