I need a legal advice from any individuals. I applied and submitted my CV for a civil engineer role posted by a contractor, but I was unsuccessful. However, the contractor used and attached my CV in all his Contract proposals to get contracts without my concern. The contractor was successful in few Contracts from 2021 - 2023. Now, I found out that the contractor have attached my CV to get contracts from other connections. What is the best step I can take towards this? #legal#advise#contracts#

C). Regulatory Knowledge and Compliance Civil engineers must be familiar with building codes, zoning laws, and environmental regulations to ensure that construction projects comply with all legal requirements. #BuildingCodes #ZoningLaws #RegulatoryCompliance

Often when embarking on a town planning application, the property owner may not be aware that as part of the process various other professionals MAY be required to provide specialist information to allow the assessment of the application by the various departments. These are most often: 1. Civil Engineers - water, sewer, stormwater report to calculate required level of service. 2. Electrical Engineer - electrical calculation 3. Traffic Engineers - Traffic Impact Assessment, Parking study 4. Environmental Consultant - Environmental Impact Assessment 5. Architect - Site Development Plan 6. Heritage Consultant - Heritage impact Assessment 7. Land Surveyor - Drawing and approval of diagrams from the SG 8. Conveyancer - registration of subdivided or consolidated erven with Deeds Office, endorsement of removal of title conditions These consultants are not mandatory for every application, and each development application is assessed on an individual basis.

My time at the City of New Orleans started right after the Hard Rock collapsed and ended nearly two years later after I graduated from university in civil engineering. The City of New Orleans Building Department is not much different from surrounding building departments. I think, in general, the inspection industry is comprised of many people who don’t know what they are looking at. The difference between the City of New Orleans Building Department and surrounding Building Departments is the scale of structures and the number of permits. My advice would be not to outsource the problem to someone looking to make a dollar. My advice is for the city to increase the salary cap, offer competitive salaries, and to hire experts in the industry with degrees (bachelor/master/doctorate) in engineering. Also, to invest much more time, effort, capital, and resources into training in-house staff. This is how the City can effectively grow a sustainable Department that can function at high levels of competency and consistency. During my time at the City of New Orleans, I advocated regularly for training for myself and training for others within the Department. Years later, although I have moved on to other ventures, my message is still the same: Train the employees on staff. Give them the opportunity to succeed. The Department needs to invest in itself. If you want green grass, water the grass.

"In the bureaucratic dance of town planning, the stage seems set for a comedic twist: where civil engineers, armed with technical prowess but lacking in planning education, find themselves cast in the role of town planners. Meanwhile, seasoned town planners, with their expertise and vision, are relegated to the sidelines, overshadowed by the sheer numbers of their engineering counterparts. A satirical commentary on the peculiar dynamics within the government's town planning department, where qualifications take a backseat to bureaucracy." #townplanning #urbanplanning

Is there a difference in access to the Quantity Surveying profession by those educated in South Africa compared to the UK? There is a difference! Quantity Surveyors educated in South Africa are more construction sites oriented, while those educated in the UK feel more comfortable in offices. The question is - Why?

Civil engineers have a significant responsibility to society, including: 1. _Public Safety_: Ensuring the safety of the public by designing and building structures that can withstand natural disasters and other potential hazards. 2. _Infrastructure Development_: Providing essential infrastructure like roads, bridges, water supply systems, and buildings that support economic growth and improve the quality of life. 3. _Environmental Stewardship_: Protecting the environment by designing sustainable solutions that minimize waste, reduce pollution, and promote conservation. 4. _Community Engagement_: Engaging with local communities to understand their needs and priorities, and delivering projects that benefit society as a whole. 5. _Ethical Practice_: Upholding ethical standards by being honest, transparent, and accountable in their work, and avoiding harmful or unethical practices. 6. _Innovation and Progress_: Staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and innovations, and applying them to improve the built environment and benefit society. 7. _Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing_: Sharing knowledge and experience with younger engineers and students, and mentoring them to become responsible professionals. 8. _Disaster Response and Recovery_: Providing expertise and support during natural disasters and emergencies, and helping to rebuild and recover affected communities. 9. _Sustainability and Resilience_: Designing and building infrastructure that is resilient to climate change, and promoting sustainable development practices. 10. _Compliance with Regulations_: Ensuring that their work complies with relevant laws, regulations, and standards, and maintaining the integrity of the profession.
