 Duties to Clients / Consultation

The relations of the engineer to his clients are

fiduciary in nature and therefore involve , both
legally and morally, obligations which must be
exercised even at the sacrifice of personal
interests.

Commonly the man who is called upon to take

charge of an important endeavor is one who has
developed more or less special knowledge and
ability in the principal field which with other
phases constitutes the project.
