Question $6$

$1$ pts

Case $1$

Engineer A is contacted by Client B$,$ who wants Engineer A$\text{'}$s professional services designing a warehouse for Client B$.$ Engineer A makes a preliminary inspection of the site and discusses the scope of the work with Client B$.$ Engineer A then gives Client B an estimate of the time and resources it would take to complete the job, citing only a total time of $150$ hours "under the best$-$case scenario."

Before these discussions occurred, Engineer A had worked on a similar job for another Client, Client C$.$ This was a similar building under similar site conditions. During the construction process, Engineer A and his contractors had run into unexpected, major delays having to do with the site conditions. Engineer A needed additional time to complete the design, resulting in significant extra costs to Client $C.$

At the time of the discussions, Engineer A was conscious of the similarities between Client B$\text{'}$s site and Client C$\text{'}$s site. However, he chose not to inform Client B of this past experience.

In Case $1,$ it was ethical for Engineer A to present only the $150$ hour "best case scenario $".$
