"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth" walking always in the Master's ways - provides a clear and distinct path for bringing truthful service, courtesy and justice to the best of each individual's ability given him by the First and Greatest Architect of the world; and creates a keystone of professional and brotherly ethics which should be a rule and guide to all; but more especially to the man who represents himself to be a professional - thus, placing himself before his fellow men as an expert. He should uphold his professional duties, dignity and honor and avoid association with any questionable enterprise or character, dealing solely with honor, fairness and justness with his fellow Surveyors.

The Surveyor will endeavor to make his clients and the public aware of his professional duties to the client and the State Laws, which govern both of them. He will have due regard for the safety of life and health of the public and of employees who may be affected by the work for which he is responsible. He will express an opinion only when it is founded upon his professional knowledge and truthful convictions while serving as a witness before a court, commission or other tribunal.

A Surveyor will act in a professional manner for each of his clients or employers as a faithful agent or trustee. He will endeavor to work hand in hand with all other specialists employed by his client to serve the best interest of the client. He will disclose no information concerning his business affairs with his client or any business affairs of his client with any other person without the consent of the client. He will not undertake work which he believes cannot be accomplished to a professional standard without first advising his client of his opinion. He will promptly disclose to his client any information he may find, whether it be good or bad, that might affect the business of his client or employer and will not let the interest of any client influence his professional decision in any manner while employed by said client or any other client. A Professional Surveyor will not solicit or accept other employment, which will conflict with his previously obligated clients' projects. He will act with fairness and justice in all his dealings between his client and any contractor employed by his client.

He will not directly or intentionally injure the professional reputation of another Surveyor or Engineer; however, if he considers that the Surveyor is guilty of unethical, illegal or unfair practice he will immediately present such information to the proper authority for action. He will not become associated, responsible, or connected with any Surveyor or Surveyors who do not conform to ethical practices, or be associated with a non-registered Surveyor or Engineer, a corporation, or partnership, as a cloak of unethical acts but must accept the responsibility for all who are associated with him as a professional. A Professional Surveyor will not attempt to practice in any field of Surveying with which he is not thoroughly familiar and in which he cannot produce a responsible and creditable survey for his client. He will not use the advantage of a salaried position (public or private) to compete unfairly with another Surveyor by reducing prices to a standard below current rates. He will not compete with another Surveyor by reducing fees below normal, nor undertake such work, which would not permit a satisfactory professional performance. All offers of professional services will be on a basis of regular fees. The Surveyor will not give a known competitive bid on any project but will always quote the normal professional rates. He will not supersede another Surveyor or any project while knowing that a just compensation for a previous Surveyor remains unpaid; except with the knowledge and consent of the Surveyor whose work has been terminated or until such time has passed that no legal claim could be filed by the previous Surveyor.
